Supporting data citation and sharing via journal policy
Encouraging authors to cite and reference datasets in their manuscripts
● newly generated data
● existing data sources
Standardising and harmonising research data policy in scholarly publishing Iain Hrynaszkiewicz, Aliaksandr Birukou, Mathias Astell, Sowmya

All policy types:
• Preference sharing of data via
repositories (rather than ESM/SI)
• Allow citation of public datasets in
reference lists/bibliographies
• Encourage use of publisher helpdesk
to ensure compliance with funder
mandates

Facilitating data availability statements
Enable and encourage authors to provide
descriptive and informative statements in their
articles
- what data are available
- how these can be accessed

RDS helps authors to ensure all relevant data are shared as
openly as possible
Original DAS: “RNA-seq datasets generated during the current study are available in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)
repository with the accession number #TBD”
Post-RDS DAS: The raw RNA sequencing data (supporting figure 1) used during the study are publicly available in the NCBI
Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository: https://identifiers.org/geo:GSEXXXXX and https://identifiers.org/geo:GSEXXXXX.
The read count tables (supporting figures 1, 3 and 4) for all the sequencing samples (n=1162) in TCGA are publicly available
at The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Genomic Data Commons (GDC) (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/). RNA sequencing
datasets (supporting figures 3, 4, 5 and 6) generated during the current study are publicly available in the GEO
repository: https://identifiers.org/geo:GSEXXXXXX. Additional datasets used (dataset_filename.xlsx) and generated
(dataset_filename.zip, dataset_filename.csv, dataset_filename.pzfx and dataset_filename.pzfx) during the study will be made
available on request from the corresponding author author_name, email: author_email.
manuscript methods section additionally mentioned: qRT PCR data, GSEA
analysis data, viability assay data, cycle analysis data, apoptosis (using
Annexin V staining) analysis data, and ChIP data.

The story behind the image
Antarctica meltdown could
double sea level rise
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have
been considering how quickly a glacial ice melt in
Antarctica would raise sea levels. By updating
models with new discoveries and comparing them
with past sea-level rise events they predict that a
melting Antarctica could raise oceans by more than
3 feet by the end of the century if greenhouse gas
emissions continued unabated, roughly doubling
previous total sea-level rise estimates. Rising seas
could put many of the world’s coastlines
underwater or at risk of flooding and storm surges.
