Increasing attention is being directed toward the activities surrounding the publication of research data and its connection to its related scholarly publications. Communication and coordination of the full data publication process across the 3 key stakeholders (Publisher, Repository, Researcher) need strengthening in order to address pressing challenges associated with data sharing, management, publication and citation. The ESIP Coalition for Publishing Data in the Earth and Space Sciences (COPDESS) cluster provides the necessary infrastructure and forum to address these challenges (https://copdess.org/).
This session seeks to engage all stakeholders involved in the multifaceted process of publishing and linking geoscience research data to scholarly publications, in order to consider the next steps for the COPDESS community. Our agenda includes the opportunity to develop next steps for COPDESS Cluster to further data, samples and software sharing across the global Earth, space, and environmental sciences communities, along with review and status update of current relevant activities, such as the publisher/repository workflow, previously shared in both ESIP and RDA sessions.
We welcome and encourage all stakeholders in the data, samples and software publication landscape to participate.
For the workflow, outcomes from the ESIP 2021 Winter session, two ESIP/RDA Earth, Space, and Environmental Sciences Interest Group’s sessions, and a recent workshop dedicated on this topic will be presented for consideration as we move towards developing a final recommendation.
For the COPDESS Cluster next steps, please bring your suggestions for challenges that you think need attention and which ones need prioritization. We also welcome ideas on which communities you think should be involved and how we can effectively engage community participation and discussion.
