Best Practices for Data Sharing and Deposit for Librarian Authors

Sharing data is now encouraged by major funding agencies, and many journals require it as a prerequisite for publication.
While many of the hard science journals have implemented ‘Data Deposit Requirements’ and ‘Policies,’ publishers of Library Science literature are just beginning to address data deposit requirements.

Librarian authors will increasingly find themselves having to comply with data sharing policies as a condition of publication.  In this webinar, we will look at examples from the Journal of the Medical Library Association and the Journal of eScience Librarianship, and identify best practices in data deposit.
