[ESIP-all] Last call for comments on the Declaration of Data Citation Principles - DRAFT

[Ruth Ellen Duerr]

Folks,

The comment period for the Declaration of Data Citation Principles (http://www.force11.org/node/4769) drafted by a Synthesis Group consisting of members from a large number of organizations such as the ESIP Federation, CODATA, etc. is almost over.  The last day for comment is December 31, 2013!  If this is a topic you care about, please take a few minutes to read and comment on the principles as currently drafted.  Based on the comments, the Principles will be finalized early in 2014 at which point endorsement by a wide variety of organizations will be sought.

I note that once finalized the ESIP Stewardship Committee intends to bring them up for endorsement by ESIP as a whole.
