Managing Data for Scholarly Communications, Part One: Supplemental Materials

Webinar

About the Webinar

There has been a significant rise in the inclusion of supplemental data and materials in the scholarly publication process over the last several years, creating challenges for publishers, libraries, repository managers, and users regarding the management, discovery, and use of these supplements. While online environments create new opportunities for sharing such data, the community must come to some agreement on how to balance the values and benefits behind the inclusion of supplemental data with the resources required for its management and use. This webinar, Part 1 of a two-part NISO series on data, will address the definition of supplemental data, discuss how it may affect the peer review and publication process, and show examples of how information services are handling their accessibility.

Part Two of this webinar, Technical Management will be held on Wednesday, October 19.
