What is a data paper?<\/h3>\n

A data paper is a peer-reviewed document describing a biodiversity dataset, published in a peer-reviewed journal. Unlike a conventional research article, the primary purpose of a data paper is to describe data and the circumstances of their collection, rather than to report hypotheses and conclusions.<\/p>\n

The original about this approach is the data paper manuscript is linked to a dataset hosted on a reliable and permanent website of resources. In our case, these websites are the IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit<\/a>) platform of GBIF.ES and the international data portal GBIF (www.gbif.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Why publish data papers?<\/h3>\n

Authoring clear, informative metadata is an essential step if biodiversity data are going to be discovered and used to inform research and decisions. This involves extra work, and data publishers need incentives to do it. In the absence of such incentives, too many datasets are published with poorly-documented metadata or, worse still, no metadata at all.<\/p>\n
