Anisa Rowhani-Farid and Adrian Barnett recently published the second version of their Research Article in which they compared data-sharing in two journals and whether badges had an effect on sharing. In this guest blog, Anisa Rowhani-Farid describes what motivated her in her work and the results of her research.
Hollydawn Murray marks Open Data Day, which this year focuses on open research data, by highlighting what is possible when you publish your data. She calls on the research community to join us in helping definie how we can best support the researchers,
Laura Boykin and Anders Savill discuss the value of a updated reference dataset to help researchers rapidly and accurately identify members of the whitefly species and what this means for crop management.
Last summer we launched our interactive figures initiative with plotly. Since then, we have published 22 interactives figures in seven articles across two platforms. In this post authors describe their figures and share why they wanted to make them interactive.
A Data Note published and currently undergoing peer review on Gates Open Research describes a collective research effort to profile and annotate more than 7,500 microbe spices including bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Two of the authors, Heba Shaaban and David Westfall, describe their work in this guest blog.
