[Esip-sample-curation] Update on ESIP Sample Cluster Activities

[Joan Damerow]

Hi all,

We want to provide an update on activities and plans for the Physical
Samples Curation Cluster in the coming weeks leading up to the ESIP summer
meeting in July. Here is what we are working on, and need your continued
participation in:



   -

   Finalize sample guidance document (note that we recently created a new
   version): Physical Samples and Sample Related Data Sharing Guidance for
   Authors Submitting to AGU journals
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pifZ2_Y2PmDpNqKbjI0LFnd82YeM1ea97eEweLMkyxE/edit#>.
   The goal of this document is to provide basic recommendations to authors
   submitting sample-related papers to make their samples and associated data
   more FAIR. We specifically address 1) assigning identifiers, 2) describing
   samples, 3) archiving samples and data, and 4) referencing/citing samples.
   We need a complete draft of this document before the summer meeting, and
   will provide a summary of all recommendations in the meeting. We need help
   with this: please let us know if you can claim a particular section (see
   topics below for June 13 and 27), and/or provide a general review of the
   document.
   -

   Associated paper (this will be our next activity that will expand on the
   guidance to discuss needs to enable sample use tracking): A Guide to
   Planning and Publishing Sample Related Research, and Needs for Sample Use
   Tracking (Link to outline
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/15AQOMJjvRN6mur0DPbzBLmRpgYOCur8BqEkWN4LaCuU/edit#>
   ).
   -

   ESIP Summer Meeting Sessions - we just submitted two proposals for
   samples, will follow up when we have more info on what is accepted for the
   meeting.
   -

      How can we connect and track use of physical samples and associated
      data
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SmFa6RZ19-9ospmxtbFvS2AVuEixgl6od3-u1lT7fsw/edit>
      ?
      -

      Samples and SESAR
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iduja0luG0K3dcvVmQwcpXrs29W21382Pi-RUPh4MxQ/edit>
