Dryad Digital Repository

o Curated resource that makes the data underlying scientific publications discoverable, freely reusable, and citable.

o Integration - support the work without recreating infrastructure

o All data submitted to Dryad are associated with a publication.

Why have a policy?

An effective data policy

First the policy• Joint Data Archiving Policy

(JDAP)• Data are important

products of the scientific enterprise, and they should be preserved and usable for decades in the future

• …Data supporting the results in the article should be deposited in an appropriate public archive

• Authors may elect to embargo…

• Embargo exceptions may be granted...

Now the reality

Integrated data submission

Matching functionality with policies

o Simple data deposition

o Permanent link to data within each article (and vice versa).

o Data can used for review

o Data availability statements

o Embargo options

Data Availability Statement

What about REVIEW?
