all for registrations: Conference ‘Making Data Accessible to All’, Exeter 12-13 July
GARNet/Egenis workshop ‘Making Data Accessible to All’
Dates: 12-13 July 2012
Deadline for registration: 15 June and places are limited
(register now to avoid disappointment)
Location: Innovation Centre, University of Exeter
Organisers: Sabina Leonelli (Egenis), Ruth Bastow
(GARNet), Berris Charnley (Egenis)
Plant scientists are often required to donate data to
open access databases (for instance, by the BBSRC data management policy). They
are also encouraged to make use of these databases in order to boost their
research and speed up discovery. It is not yet clear, however, whether and how
these practices are affecting experimentation within the plant sciences, and
whether data donation and use on a large scale has been effective in fostering
innovative research. The focus of this workshop is to discuss issues
surrounding data donation, data use and publication from the viewpoint of plant
biologists; and it offers a unique opportunity to engage with key publishers
and funders around this issues.
