Best, Simon. ________________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Iain Hrynaszkiewicz [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 04 April 2012 18:01 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [open-science] BioMed Central and LabArchives Dear all, A quick announcement about a new open data initiative and partnership at BioMed Central. BMC has partnered with LabArchives<http://www.labarchives.com/> to work together for the shared goal of making datasets supporting peer-reviewed publications available and permanently linked to online publications – and available under terms which permit reuse freely, as Open Data. As part of this partnership, all BioMed Central authors are now entitled to an enhanced free version of LabArchives<http://www.labarchives.com/bmc/>. This ‘BioMed Central Edition’ of the software offers additional storage capacity compared to the standard free edition (100MB), integrated manuscript submission to BioMed Central journals, along with open data publishing features. These include the ability to assign DOIs to published datasets and the use of the CC0 waiver for published data.
