Dear All
We are looking for some advice regarding PLosOne Data Policy, in the specific about the accepted repositories.
Below is an extract from their website (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/data-availability) where they also provide a list of recommended repositories:
“PLOS requires that authors comply with field-specific standards for preparation and recording of data and select repositories appropriate to their field, for example deposition of microarray data in ArrayExpress or GEO; deposition of gene sequences in GenBank, EMBL or DDBJ; and deposition of ecological data in Dryad. Authors are encouraged to select repositories that meet accepted criteria as trustworthy digital repositories.
PLOS has identified a set of established repositories below, which are recognized and trusted within their respective communities.”
We were wondering if an Institutional Data Repository would be deemed suitable. Has any of you ever had experience with data deposit for PLosOne? If yes, were the data deposited in your own IR?
Any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Federica
