DATASET

For Secondary Data Analysis, a Dataset in some form is required!

Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal for the publication of articles on original research data (sets), furthering the reuse of high-quality data of benefit to Earth system sciences. The editors encourage submissions on original data or data collections which are of sufficient quality and have potential to contribute to these aims. The journal maintains sections for regular-length articles, brief communications (e.g. on additions to data sets) and commentaries, as well as review articles and special issues.

The Geoscience Data Journal provides an open access platform where scientific data can be formally published, in a way that includes scientific peer-review.

An online-only journal, the Geoscience Data Journal publishes short data papers cross-linked to, and citing, datasets that have been deposited in approved data centres.

A data paper describes a dataset, giving details of its collection, processing, software, file formats etc, without the requirement of novel analyses or ground breaking conclusions. It allows the reader to understand the when, how and why data was collected and what the data-product is.
