The updates represent a fresh approach to funding that promises to ensure our long-term health as an organization and to prepare us to meet the demands for data sharing now and in the future. </p> <p>We appreciate that those of us in the U.S. research community are experiencing troubling and uncertain times, and that changes to fees may be especially challenging at this moment. We hope that the flexibility we have built into our new approach will help soften the transition, and we stand ready to support you with stakeholder engagement. </p> <p>Our updated fee structure has been developed over the course of the last three years, and is the outcome of close collaboration between Dryad and our stakeholder institutions, publishing organizations, and academic societies. The new model distributes Dryad’s operational and data-handling costs across our user community and partner organizations in a way that is felt to be fair, flexible, and as sensible as possible for everyone involved. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A new funding model for an evolving landscape</strong></h2> <p>Prevailing attitudes toward data have changed dramatically over the 18 years of Dryad’s existence. While not yet standard practice, data accessibility has reached a tipping point — Data Availability Statements are widespread, data management plans are a more common component of grant applications, and data-sharing mandates are emerging from more funders and publishers. </p> <p>The cost of data curation, publication and preservation increases with volume — something our previous fee model didn’t adequately account for. Dryad’s new fees are designed to solve the problem of scalability, positioning us to meet growing demand over the long term. Under our new fee structure, all authors pay a <strong>Data Publication Charge</strong> that scales with use to reflect the true costs of this work. Authors can pay the DPC directly, or organizations – institutions, publishers, funders and other research organizations – can partner with Dryad to sponsor DPCs on behalf of their researchers at a reduced rate. For partners, we’re also introducing a tiered <strong> Annual Service Fee</strong>, which helps to cover the fixed costs of running the Dryad organization responsibly, keeping the operation robust, and offering the skilled support to researchers and other stakeholders that distinguish our service. <a href="https://datadryad.org/join_us">Read more about our partner program</a>.</p> <p>Both the Data Publication Change and Annual Service Fee are set on a cost basis, meaning that pricing reflects the real cost of delivering services (and a modest overhead), rather than on a value basis, and what the market might be convinced to pay (independent of the actual costs). That’s important to us as a non-profit organization operating in the community interest. This approach allows us to limit author fees, treat all stakeholders equitably, and uphold our values, while also helping Dryad to thrive.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Developing a collaborative funding model </strong></h2> <p>Dryad’s new partner program and fee structure are the result of extensive community consultation. Our work began in 2022 with informal advice-gathering and continued in 2023 with a series of open discussions and formal consultation. In early 2024, we began working intensively with a dedicated taskforce of stakeholders from across our user community. The resulting fee structure reflects our partner’s needs and willingness to pay as well as the profound value the community places on research data availability – and Dryad as the service they trust to support researchers and help them accomplish their goals. The model is also an expression of our organizational values: responsibility, inclusion, openness, and trustworthiness.</p> <p>We recognize and thank the members of the taskforce, who have provided their insight and expertise over the past year. They include: Ali Andalibi (Charles R Drew University); Karl Benedict (University of New Mexico (retired)); Jeanine Finn (Claremont Colleges); Vicky Johnson (Wiley); Angela R. Maranville (Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA)); Joe Lucia (Temple University); Johan Nilsson (Oikos Editorial Office); Rob O’Donnell (Rockefeller University Press); Shawn Ross (Macquarie University); and Cynthia Hudson Vitale (Association of Research Libraries); Matt Wascavage (Alliance of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science Societies). Dryad team members Jen Gibson, Sarah Lippincott, and Maria Guerreiro, and consultants Mark Kurtz and Jon Treadway were also instrumental in this work. We also thank Ian Bruno (Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre) and Michael Markie (Incentivizing Collaborative and Open Research (ICOR)/eLife) for their expert review of our proposals in development.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Partnering for growth in the long term</strong></h2> <p>Dryad’s partner program continues the relationship that has always existed between Dryad and our community — we are, always have been, and will remain a community-based organization. We occupy a special place in scholarly communications, where a variety of perspectives intersect in a collaborative spirit to operate in the community interest. </p> <p>Our new funding structure is calibrated to maintain and improve our services over time, while ensuring Dryad remains accessible and affordable for researchers and partner organizations of all resource levels. With it, we’re poised for success: able to continue responsible and effective governance, keep abreast of essential technological developments, and ensure that we can pay our team and support a positive work environment. With it, we’re ready to take on as much data as the community can generate. </p> </div></!-- .entry-content --/> --> <footer class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/category/governance/" rel="category tag">Governance</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/category/infrastructure/" rel="category tag">Infrastructure</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/category/institutional/" rel="category tag">Institutional</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/category/partnerships/" rel="category tag">Partnerships</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/category/product/" rel="category tag">Product</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/category/publishers/" rel="category tag">Publishers</a> </span> <span class="sep"> | </span> <span class="tag-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links">Tagged</span> <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/data-availability/" rel="tag">Data Availability</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/data-sharing-2/" rel="tag">data sharing</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/discoverability/" rel="tag">discoverability</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/funding/" rel="tag">Funding</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/open-data/" rel="tag">open data</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/open-research/" rel="tag">Open Research</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/open-science/" rel="tag">Open Science</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/partners/" rel="tag">partners</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/partnership/" rel="tag">Partnership</a>, <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/tag/partnerships/" rel="tag">Partnerships</a> </span> </footer><!-- .entry-meta --> </article><!-- #post-6782 --> <article id="post-6762" class="post-6762 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-data-curation-2 category-discoverability category-infrastructure tag-data-availability tag-data-reuse tag-data-sharing-2 tag-discoverability tag-open-data tag-open-research tag-open-science tag-orcid tag-pids"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/2025/03/20/pids-and-the-discoverability-of-relevant-research-data/" rel="bookmark">PIDs and the discoverability of relevant research data</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/2025/03/20/pids-and-the-discoverability-of-relevant-research-data/" title="08:48" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2025-03-20T08:48:03-04:00">2025/03/20</time></a><span class="by-author"> <span class="sep"> by </span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.datadryad.org/author/dryadteam/" title="View all posts by The Dryad Team" rel="author">The Dryad Team</a></span></span> </div><!-- .entry-meta --> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <!-- Show only excerpts in the content roll --> <div class="entry-summary"> <p>Post by Audrey Hamelers, Senior Software Developer Is there a published article associated with a particular dataset?

Have the authors deposited any other data? Are there other Dryad datasets associated with the same journal?</p> <p>Following an update to our interface, that information is now included in Dryad search and on our dataset landing pages. The change offers researchers, administrators, compliance officers, and others a more networked view of our data. Now, users can more easily discover related datasets, and answer questions about the association of Dryad data with specific publications, institutions, funding bodies, and individual researchers.</p> <p>Persistent identifiers, or PIDs make these powerful connections possible. URLs can degrade. Names can change, or two people may share the same name. Article and dataset titles are often confusingly similar. PIDs are unique codes used to identify digital objects durably over time, and to forge connections between related research data, individuals, organizations, and other digital records. Common examples of PIDs in scholarly communications include DOIs for articles and datasets, ORCID IDs for people, and ROR numbers for institutions.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>See <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/2023/10/26/for-authors-what-are-pids-and-how-do-they-amplify-your-datas-impact/"><em>For authors: What are PIDs and how do they amplify your data’s impact?</em></a></p> </blockquote> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DOIs and ISSNs connect Dryad data with related research</h2> <p>All Dryad submissions are assigned a <a href="https://www.doi.org/">Digital Object Identifier (DOI)</a>, registered through our partners at DataCite. DOIs, as persistent identifiers which individually identify a dataset and resist breaking over time, are preferred links for reference lists, and turn Dryad datasets into citable objects.</p> <p>In turn, Dryad uses DOIs to link data publications with other publishable and citable research outputs such as articles, preprints, other datasets, and software. These links are displayed along with the data on Dryad to provide context and further information about the data.</p> <p>Dryad also captures the <a href="https://www.issn.org/">ISSN (International Standard Serial Number)</a> of the publication where the primary article associated with a Dryad dataset is published. ISSNs identify periodicals. They are among the oldest PIDs, predating digital journals and most digital objects. The ISSN allows users to locate additional Dryad datasets associated with the same journal.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">ROR IDs connect Dryad data with institutions</h2> <p>Dryad can also link datasets to associated institutions. Dataset authors are affiliated with institutions, perform their research at specific sites, or receive funding to collect data and perform research. For all of these associations, Dryad uses <a href="https://www.issn.org/">Research Organization Registry (ROR)</a> to identify each organization and associate it with the dataset. These links now appear on dataset landing pages and in data searches, allowing users to click through to view other datasets from the same institution.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?ssl=1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="584" height="554" data-attachment-id="6766" data-permalink="https://blog.datadryad.org/2025/03/20/pids-and-the-discoverability-of-relevant-research-data/screenshot-2025-03-19-113127/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?fit=866%2C821&ssl=1" data-orig-size="866,821" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Screenshot 2025-03-19 113127" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?fit=300%2C284&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?fit=584%2C554&ssl=1" src="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?resize=584%2C554&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-6766" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?w=866&ssl=1 866w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?resize=300%2C284&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?resize=768%2C728&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-19-113127.png?resize=316%2C300&ssl=1 316w" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" /></a></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">ORCID iDs connect Dryad data with researchers</h2> <p>When submitting, authors login in to Dryad with their <a href="https://orcid.org/">Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID)</a>. Upon publication of the dataset, coauthors are invited to associate their ORCIDs with the dataset as well, and to add the Dryad dataset to their personal ORCID bibliography. ORCID iDs unambiguously identify researchers, differentiating them from others with similar names to ensure research outputs are correctly credited.</p> <p>On Dryad dataset landing pages, the names of authors who have associated their ORCID with the data now link to searches for their ORCID iDs. The search results create a collection of all the datasets which that specific researcher has published and claimed on Dryad.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Datasets in context</h2> <p>Datasets do not exist in a vacuum. By surfacing the connections between Dryad datasets, authors, and related institutions and publications, we aim to place the research in context, facilitate connections, and increase data discovery, access, and reuse.

These alarming findings underscore the systemic challenges researchers face, including intense pressure to publish frequently, a lack of affordable infrastructure for preserving and sharing data, limited support for best practices, and the absence of standardized guidelines. This environment, often referred to as the “publish or perish” culture, can unintentionally foster misconduct and compromise research integrity.</p> <p>Upholding scientific integrity is more crucial than ever, especially in an era of rapid technological advancement. The credibility, reproducibility, and reliability of research hinge on data availability and transparency. By adhering to <a href="https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/">FAIR</a> (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, researchers can address these challenges head-on. Dryad offers a solution for those committed to these principles, providing an open-access platform designed to enhance transparency and foster trust in research.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Data availability and reusability</h2> <p>Open access to data not only enables verification but also fuels innovation and collaboration. At Dryad, our experienced team of data curators works with researchers to ensure their data and metadata meet rigorous standards and align with FAIR principles. By publishing datasets under a CC0 license waiver, Dryad guarantees unrestricted access to data for reuse by the global research community.</p> <p>One powerful example of the value of Dryad’s open-access approach comes from the field of genomics. An initial dataset containing genomic SNP data of domesticated pigs from around the world was published via Dryad. Later, another research team reused the data to uncover patterns of deliberate introduction of invasive feral pigs across the United States and Canada. This collaboration highlights not only the scientific impact of open data but also the trust and interconnectivity fostered by Dryad’s platform.</p> <p>The original dataset: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.30tk6">https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.30tk6</a> </p> <p>The new dataset reusing the original: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b2rbnzsq9">https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b2rbnzsq9</a> </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Transparency in research data</h2> <p>Transparency is a cornerstone of scientific integrity. By making it easier to verify and replicate studies, transparency not only prevents misconduct but also builds trust within the research community and with the public. Researchers can foster this trust by prioritizing key elements of transparency in their data practices:</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Clearly documented methods and README</em></h2> <p>A transparent research process begins with a thorough description of the methods used to collect, analyze, and interpret data. Precise documentation ensures that others can replicate the study or build upon its findings. Additionally, defining each aspect of the data files—such as the file names, organization, and the units of measurement for each variable—makes it easier for users to understand, analyze, and reuse the data efficiently.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Comprehensive data reporting</em></h2> <p>Transparency requires sharing data when possible and providing a complete and accurate account of all elements within those data. Researchers should ensure that all data points are reported on and that any processes involving data manipulation or cleaning are meticulously documented. Dryad facilitates this by encouraging researchers to include detailed <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/2023/10/18/for-authors-creating-a-readme-for-rapid-data-publication/">README files</a>, which clarify the context and handling of datasets.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest</em></h2> <p>Researchers should fully disclose any conflicts of interest, including funding sources, affiliations, or other factors that might influence their data or findings. This openness is critical for maintaining credibility and objectivity.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Balancing human and AI-generated data</em></h2> <p>As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into research, the principles of transparency remain vital. The rise of AI-generated data introduces new challenges, such as ensuring the clarity of data origin, the documentation of algorithms, and ethical considerations around data use.</p> <p>A recent <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-023-03316-8">Nature article</a> highlights the enduring importance of transparency: “The principles and guidelines regulating the rise of AI will need to remain grounded in the basics of good science – how data are collected, treated, and used” (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-023-03316-8">Hanson et al., 2023</a>). Researchers can navigate these challenges by adhering to robust data practices and leveraging platforms like Dryad, which support the FAIR principles for both human- and AI-generated datasets.</p> <p>By committing to transparency, researchers not only uphold the integrity of their work but also contribute to a culture of openness and reproducibility, ensuring that science continues to be a reliable and trusted source of knowledge.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Implementation strategies for transparent research data</em></h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Pre-register studies to specify hypotheses, data collection methods, and analysis plans in advance. This helps to prevent data dredging or p-hacking by committing to a predefined research plan.</li> <li>Adopt transparent peer review processes to ensure accountability. For example, Dryad’s “private for peer review” (PPR) feature enables the sharing of data alongside manuscripts under peer review in scientific journals. This fosters an open dialogue between authors, reviewers, editors, and readers, ensuring that the data is scrutinized thoroughly and transparently.</li> </ul> <p>By focusing on these key elements and implementation strategies, researchers can significantly enhance the transparency of their research data through Dryad, contributing to the overall integrity and reliability of scientific research.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">FAIR principles at Dryad</h2> <p>The FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) serve as a framework for managing and sharing research data effectively. At Dryad, we prioritize these principles to ensure that datasets are not only open-access but also optimized for discovery, integration, and reuse.</p> <p><strong>Findability:</strong> Data should be easily located by both humans and machines. This requires robust metadata, descriptive titles, and carefully chosen keywords. Well-annotated datasets increase visibility and help researchers quickly find relevant data for their work. Authors can connect Dryad datasets with related research objects like published articles, data management sharing plans, software code, or supplementary information, allowing users to easily access all components of a research project through a single, citable link, usually via a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). At Dryad, we provide DOIs that are widely indexed in Google Scholar, Google Dataset Search, Scopus, Web of Science, and more, in addition to being fully discoverable on the web.</p> <p><strong>Accessibility:</strong> Clear access procedures and comprehensive metadata are essential for making data reusable. Dryad encourages researchers to provide detailed README files and methods, document software versions, and use open-source tools to ensure datasets remain accessible long-term. All Dryad datasets are downloadable via <a href="http://datadryad.org">datadryad.org</a> and our <a href="https://datadryad.org/stash/api">open API</a>.</p> <p><strong>Interoperability:</strong> Standardized, open-access formats and controlled vocabularies are critical for data integration across systems. Dryad supports the inclusion of data dictionaries and standardized metadata via our submission platform, enabling seamless collaboration and reuse of datasets in diverse research contexts. Dryad adheres to community-accepted standard metadata (DataCite metadata schema) and the use of persistent identifiers.</p> <p><strong>Reusability:</strong> Dryad ensures that datasets are published under a CC0 license waiver, maximizing their potential for reuse without restrictions. Rich metadata helps future researchers understand the data, fostering reproducibility and facilitating discoveries. The README file is one of the most important files in each dataset for Dryad curators and future data users. Our team of experienced data curators meticulously checks each README file to verify that data are accessible, organized, and comprehensively explained to ensure ease of understanding and readiness for re-use.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2> <p>Research integrity is the foundation of credible and impactful science. Upholding integrity requires a commitment to transparency, ethical practices, and the adoption of robust frameworks like the FAIR principles.

Andrew is Professor in Evolutionary Ecology and Faculty Director of Education for Science at the University of Sheffield (UK), Co-Editor-in-Chief of the multi-society-sponsored journal <em>Ecology and Evolution</em> (one of our largest contributing journals) </p> <p>As a leader in two of Dryad’s core constituencies – ecology and evolutionary biology and society-sponsored journals, and with two years’ experience on our Board so far, most recently as Vice-chair, Andrew is in an excellent position to help steer Dryad into the new year. </p> <p>Andrew takes over from Jason Williams, Assistant Director, Diversity and Research Readiness at the DNA Learning Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (USA), who first joined the Dryad in 2020 and served as Board Secretary (2020 to 2022) and Board Chair (2022 to 2024). Jason was a fantastic Chair for Dryad, bringing cohesion to the Board and organizing our first strategy retreat since the pandemic, and ensuring that every member of the Dryad team felt supported personally and professionally during his term – while also helping to position us effectively in a wildly changing context for research data.</p> <p>Andrew adds: “I’m very much looking forward to taking over from Jason. He’s established an atmosphere of inclusivity and effectiveness in equal measure and that’s a wonderful platform to move forward with in supporting the ED and team.”</p> <p>Jason continues on the Board in a second, three-year term to which he was elected in 2023. The current Dryad Board is on our <a href="https://datadryad.org/stash/about#our-board">website</a>.</p> <p>As Chair, Andrew leads the Board and the Executive Committee, which is one of the organization’s most important instruments according to the <a href="https://github.com/datadryad/governance/blob/main/bylaws/Bylaws-2024.pdf">bylaws</a>. Members of the Executive Committee are elected by the Board to serve as officers, including Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. For the current Board term, we are pleased to also announce that Ian Mulvany (BMJ, UK) has agreed to serve as Vice Chair (serving as Treasurer for two years), Mona Ramonetti (Stony Brook University, USA) as Secretary (for a second year), and Bekah Darksmith (Public Library of Science, USA) as Treasurer. </p> <p>We are grateful for the wealth and diversity of knowledge and experience each of our officers – and indeed every member of the Board – brings to their roles. </p> <p>Board Directors join or start their second terms in October of each year, usually following an open call for applications to fill open positions.

We have all been there. While we can’t help you edit your manuscript, the ability to make changes to your published datasets on Dryad is easy and encouraged.</p> <p>Each time you change your published dataset, a new version is created. Dataset versions allow users of the data to see the history of changes made to the dataset, strengthening research integrity and data management practices.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">When to version a dataset</h2> <p>After your dataset has been curated and published on Dryad, you can make changes to the published dataset. Changes that result in a new dataset version might include but are not limited to: </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>corrections to your data, </li> <li>the inclusion of additional data, </li> <li>or adding output from new analyses. </li> </ul> <p>Minor changes to the metadata, such as adding the DOI of an associated manuscript, will not create a new version of the dataset. <strong>Whether you’re updating your dataset or the metadata, the Dryad DOI will remain the same.</strong></p> <p>Maintaining versions of datasets and properly documenting the historical differences between versions ensures the integrity of data hosted on Dryad. As such, it’s important for authors to also update their README to detail any changes they made while creating a new version of their dataset. Updating your README to include this information is <a href="https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2021-012">vital for transparency and reproducibility</a> and will ensure that your data can be understood by a diverse audience well into the future.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why versioning is important</h2> <p>Versioning is crucial for proper data management. First, it ensures reproducibility and transparency in research by documenting all changes to the data, thus maintaining trust in the scientific process. This comprehensive documentation allows other researchers to accurately understand and replicate studies. Secondly, compliance with funders and publishers is greatly facilitated by versioning. Many funding bodies and publishers mandate that data be regularly updated and made accessible, and versioning helps meet these requirements by enabling efficient data sharing and preservation. Lastly, versioning enhances the discoverability and citability of datasets. By assigning a unique, permanent DOI to each dataset, regardless of its version, both current and previous versions remain accessible and are linked to a single DOI. This ensures that data remains discoverable and usable over time, making it easier for researchers to locate and cite the datasets they need.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to version a dataset in Dryad</h2> <p>To create a new version of your dataset at Dryad, follow these simple steps:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Login to your Dryad dashboard. </li> <li>On the “My datasets” page, find the dataset you need to version and click “create new version”. </li> <li>Make your changes, submit, and voilà! </li> </ol> <p>Our curation team will begin evaluating the versioned dataset as soon as possible, and pending any questions or requests from our team, the new version will be made publicly available for download through the “Download dataset” button. Previous versions can still be accessed in the “Data files” section, which is sorted by publication date. To ensure that users can easily identify differences between versions, it’s essential that the README file is updated to detail the modifications made since the previously published version.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best practices for data versioning</h2> <p>In addition to following our <a href="https://datadryad.org/stash/best_practices">best data practices</a>, here are some important notes to keep in mind while versioning your dataset: </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Document the Changes</h3> <p>It is vital to keep detailed logs of changes made between versions, to allow users to choose the version that best suits their needs, and allow future users of your data to quickly understand what has changed. This is especially important if there are errors–such as miscalculations–in previous versions.</p> <p>We recommend maintaining clear and descriptive change logs in your README file, with the date listed for each version change. Here’s an excellent example of a Dryad dataset with a version change log in the README: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.2z34tmptf">https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.2z34tmptf</a></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Use Standard Formats</h3> <p>If you’re adding new data files, it’s important to ensure that the file formats are standard, common, and non-proprietary (e.g., CSV, tiff, etc.), and can be opened with free, open-source software. This practice helps ensure long-term accessibility and interoperability of the data hosted on Dryad.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Community Engagement</h3> <p>By encouraging feedback from the research community, you can help to improve your data quality and relevance. For example, you can ask a colleague or peer who may not be familiar with your data to take a look at your published dataset, and see if it makes sense to them!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2> <p>Researchers are continually refining, updating, and building upon their work – this is the goal of research at its core. Versioning datasets, and including an adequate change log, is a way to capture this continual learning process and allow for better collaboration throughout the research community. Taking the time to update your data and its associated metadata enhances the usability, reliability, and impact of your research. Dryad’s dataset versioning feature is easy to use and enables you to adopt best practices for reproducibility and transparency in your research. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Have questions? </h2> <p>We’re here to help!

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies offer exciting possibilities that require AI-ready data to succeed.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI-assisted scientific discovery requires AI-ready data</h2> <p>AI opens up promising new opportunities for scientific discovery when applied to research data. Unsupervised learning and natural language processing (NLP) can assist researchers in discovering and analyzing massive datasets that are cumbersome to work with using traditional methods. AI models can be trained to extract insights, reveal new patterns, and even generate “digitally accurate, interpretable and reproducible <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-021-01109-0">description[s] of natural phenomena</a>.” Researchers can also feed data into AI models for the purposes of improving them with real-world experimental data.</p> <p>However, most labs cannot, on their own, generate the volume of training data required to deploy these models with the best results. And much of the data they can aggregate from public sources lacks the machine-readable metadata, clear file structures, and robust documentation <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-021-01109-0">needed for effective reuse</a>. The lack of appropriate data for machine input <a href="https://royalsociety.org/news-resources/projects/science-in-the-age-of-ai/">creates a bottleneck for researchers</a> and limits the potential to apply AI to scientific research questions. </p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p><strong>“Effective and trustworthy data-driven science requires the use of data at scale and a transition from … silo-based approaches … towards more networked scholarship. However, the vast majority of public domain data … is still not reusable … mainly because the data are poorly described for third-party use.” (</strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.1142/9789811265679_0033"><strong>Sansone et al., 2023</strong></a><strong>)</strong></p> </blockquote> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dryad makes data AI-ready through curation and connections</h2> <p>Enter open, <strong>curated</strong> research data. AI-ready data refers to data that is organized, evaluated by Dryad data curators, and prepared in a way that makes it easy for researchers to utilize it for AI modeling. Dryad provides a large corpus of this kind of well-structured, well-documented data. This data can be combined with datasets from specialist repositories and a researcher’s own data to create comprehensive datasets that fuel AI-driven research. Accessing the wide range of datasets from a “generalist” platform like Dryad, and potentially combining it from data sourced elsewhere facilitates the <a href="https://royalsociety.org/news-resources/projects/science-in-the-age-of-ai/">integration of knowledge</a> “from various fields and knowledge systems” that can lead to “more accurate models and foster curiosity-driven research.” Dryad is also an invaluable resource for researchers who <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/genetics/articles/10.3389/fgene.2023.1086802/full">lack access to expensive equipment</a>, distant or off-limits field sites, or face other barriers to collecting the data they need themselves.</p> <p>How do we make our data AI-ready? Adhering to <a href="https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/">FAIR principles</a> means ensuring that datasets are well-organized, properly documented, and easily accessible for machine harvesting and analysis. Dryad empowers FAIR through <strong>data curation</strong> and <strong>data connections</strong>. </p> <p><a href="https://datadryad.org/stash/process#dataset-curation"><strong>Data curation</strong></a> by our team of reliable curators verifies that data files are accessible and usable, enhances metadata quality and completeness, and offers guidance for authors on recommended data-sharing practices. It also helps ensure that data are appropriate for sharing and do not contain personally identifiable, sensitive, or copyrighted information.</p> <p>We create <strong>data connections</strong> by <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/2023/10/26/for-authors-what-are-pids-and-how-do-they-amplify-your-datas-impact/">maximizing the use of persistent identifiers</a> and linking to other research outputs to build robust, machine-readable linkages between data and its creators, funders, and associated outputs. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What will you do with Dryad data?</h2> <p>With over 60,000 datasets covering a wide range of research areas, and <a href="https://blog.datadryad.org/2023/05/30/good-data-practices-removing-barriers-to-data-reuse-with-cc0-licensing/">licensed for reuse</a>, Dryad offers a trove of information for researchers exploring a variety of domains and methods.

We’ve rolled out an optional metadata template for researchers to provide additional, enhanced information about their methods, variables, experimental design, and more, when they submit a dataset.</p> <p>Our new template, embedded in our online submission form, prompts cognitive neuroscience researchers to provide richer information about the dataset, the experimental setup, and the analysis process that lead to its production, including key elements like data modality, data acquisition technique, experimental paradigm, state of preprocessing, and demographic/medical attributes.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enriched metadata for cognitive neuroscience data</h2> <p>Our default metadata schema (<a href="http://schema.datacite.org/">maintained by DataCite</a>) supports accurate and consistent identification of datasets that aids discovery and reuse across disciplines, and makes Dryad data visible in a range of data catalogs and discovery services. Complementing this fundamental information about a dataset with a set of metadata elements that are meaningful to a specific community can help translate discovery into reproducibility.</p> <p>Cognitive neuroscience research often involves the integration of data from various sources and disciplines. Standardized metadata schemas and controlled vocabularies make it possible for humans and machines to <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/genetics/articles/10.3389/fgene.2023.1086802/full">successfully interpret and responsibly reuse</a> complex neuroscience datasets in a range of ways, and for purposes well beyond those of the original authors. These granular metadata can also make it easier for researchers to search for and identify datasets relevant to the specific methods, populations, or variables of interest.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bridging the gap between generalist and specialist data infrastructure</h2> <p>Collecting discipline-specific metadata also helps us build bridges between generalist and specialist data platforms. Dryad provides essential infrastructure for data generated through emerging methods or in nascent subdomains, which lack their own specialist data platforms. Providing the kind of rich, discipline-specific metadata that specialist repositories require readies Dryad data to be combined with datasets hosted elsewhere, interpreted by specialists, or even added to specialist repositories when appropriate.</p> <p>Adding machine-actionable, discipline-specific metadata will help improve interoperability with disciplinary repositories and meet the information needs of neuroscience researchers. With just a few lines of code, researchers can parse these metadata files and create a reproducible pipeline to filter datasets of interest to a specific research question. When thoughtfully deployed, such a “template encapsulates in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-022-01815-3">a single, machine-readable place</a> everything that a third party—or a computer—needs in order to interpret what has been done and whether the data are reusable in a given context.”</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">How it works</h2> <p>When researchers start a Dryad data submission and enter keywords related to cognitive neuroscience, they will automatically be prompted to complete additional, optional metadata fields. This information will be captured as a downloadable JSON file included alongside the data (as <a href="https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.b2rbnzsh9">in this example</a>).</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="584" height="137" data-attachment-id="6350" data-permalink="https://blog.datadryad.org/2024/04/09/new-at-dryad-empowering-reuse-of-cognitive-neuroscience-data/image-12/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?fit=1600%2C374&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1600,374" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="image" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?fit=300%2C70&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?fit=584%2C136&ssl=1" src="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=584%2C137&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-6350" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=300%2C70&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=1024%2C239&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=768%2C180&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=1536%2C359&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=1200%2C281&ssl=1 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/blog.datadryad.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/image.png?resize=500%2C117&ssl=1 500w" sizes="(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Screenshot of the Dryad submission system, showing the stage where researchers can provide optional discipline-specific metadata for human cognitive neuroscience data.</em></figcaption></figure> <p>Metadata collection is powered by the <a href="https://more.metadatacenter.org/tools-training/cedar-template-tools">CEDAR Embeddable Editor</a>, a tool that helps communities create metadata templates that reflect best practices in their fields.
