Hi Marion,
Apologies not to have replied to this sooner.
You may be interested to know that JISC intends to fund a project to scope a Service to Collate and Summarise Journal Research Data Policies - see Appendix A2 of the recently closed Grant Funding Call for details: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities/funding_calls/2012/01/0112%20DI.aspx
From the Call:
> Policies of journal editorial boards requiring the deposit and appropriate sharing of research data that constitutes the research record and underpins the conclusions drawn in scholarly articles are particularly welcome as it seems likely that they are designed by researchers who sit on such boards for their peers and thus may be seen as constituting an important element of the social contract of research.41 Therefore, it is reasonable to surmise that journal research data policies will exercise a transforming influence upon researcher practice towards the greater sharing and reuse of publicly funded research data. Indeed, evidence is emerging that journal data policies are one of the most important drivers of data archiving behaviour.
> See Piwowar HA (2011) Who Shares? Who Doesn't? Factors Associated with Openly Archiving Raw Research Data. PLoS ONE 6(7): e18657; doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0018657
> Existing initiatives to provide overviews of journal policies on research data have been the work of individuals or small groups and, although extremely welcome and useful, they have hitherto been piecemeal, unsystematic and unlikely to be maintained.
> See for example the preliminary list provided by the Open Access Directory at http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Journal_open-data_policies. Heather Piwowar has provided information on some journal policies as part of a Dryad data package Piwowar HA (2011) Data from: Who shares? Who doesn‟t? Factors associated with openly archiving raw research data. Dryad Digital Repository. doi:10.5061/dryad.mf1sd ; Larry King links to a number of journal policies at http://gking.harvard.edu/pages/data-sharing-and-replication
Best wishes,
Simon.

Subject: journals that permit/promote open access data to support published articles
I have received no replies on this topic.
What I have found out so far, is that BMC has a list of their journals
" requiring or encouraging the inclusion of the 'Availability of supporting data' section"
at the very end of http://www.biomedcentral.com/about/supportingdata
PLOS asks its authors to
"comply with current best practice in their discipline for the sharing of data through databases<http://www.plosbiology.org/static/guidelines.action#accessionnumbers>"
and
"Where no field-specific database exists, authors can deposit data in Dryad<http://www.datadryad.org/>."
Dryad which covers basic and applied biosciences, has a list of "Representative journals that require data archiving"
part way down http://www.datadryad.org/jdap
if anyone else knows more or has comments let me know
Regards (and Happy Easter :))

I've been asked how we can support a recommendation that our researchers publish their articles
"as far as possible with journals which permit open access to research data;"
I'm wondering whether this really means data, as such, or means publish in OA journals where the article can be placed in a repository. The latter we know about but the former is something I dont know much about. I'm aware that OA publishers like BMC and PLOS advocate open data and that Dryad is "an international repository of data underlying peer-reviewed articles in the basic and applied biosciences, governed by a consortium of journals<http://datadryad.org/partners>." http://datadryad.org/about, . Is there as yet a quick route through this, or do authors/support staff need to check journals individually to find out their policy on open data?
If anyone has ideas or comments I'd love to hear from them on or off list and I'll try to summarise. I've also scheduled a Tweet to go out later in the week, so i can add any feedback I get from that source.
Thanks
Marion Tattersall
