The ‘Data Descriptor’ article
Detailed descriptions of the methods and technical analyses supporting
the quality of the measurements. Does not contain tests of new scientific
hypotheses
Sections:
• Title
• Abstract
• Background & Summary
• Methods
• Technical Validation
• Data Records
• Usage Notes
• Figures & Tables
• References
• Data Citations
Peer review at Scientific Data
Focuses on:
• Completeness (can others reproduce?)
• Consistency (were community standards followed?)
• Integrity (are data in the best repository?)
• Experimental rigour and technical quality
(were the methods sound?)
Does not focus on:
• Perceived impact/importance
• Size/complexity of data
