[Esip-preserve] Fwd: Geoscience Data Journal

[Mark A. Parsons]

I don't know any more than you do, Anne. I suspect many of these details still needed to be worked. You may be interested in a similar, existing journal--Earth System Science Data. They have addressed many of these issues. Check out the comments Dave Carlson, Editor of ESSD, made on my blog about the data publication metaphor at http://mp-datamatters.blogspot.com/.

Cheers,

I see three criteria for publication: datasets are in approved data centers (approved by who?), have been awarded DOIs, and the paper contains requisite info.  I suppose those can be easily enough confirmed.  Is that all that is checked?  What about the accuracy of the information provided?  Who does the reviews?  Is it anonymous?
