Publishing one's research data : A new open Scientific Data journal

A new Journal called 'Scientific Data' to be launched by Nature in May 2014 has made a call for submissions. What makes this publication unique is that it is open-access, online-only publication for descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets, which aims to foster data sharing and reuse, and ultimately to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.

 

The journal introduces a new type of content called the Data Descriptor designed to make your data more discoverable, interpretable and reusable.
