> The editorial board have (very sensibly!) decided to work closely with the data centres to identify potential authors for their data papers (at least until the scientific culture changes and it becomes normal to publish data sets like this).  I’ve been given the task of acting as point of contact between the editorial board and the data centres.

> 
> Data journals provide data centres with an excellent opportunity to promote the high-quality datasets stored in our archives, along with giving the scientists who created those datasets full academic credit for their efforts.
> 
>  
> 
> I’d very much appreciate it if people could spread the news about this data journal to both their data centre users and also colleagues in data centres around the world.
