Experiences with enhancing data sharing in a large disciplinary engineering journal,

Abstract

An issue that can limit the long-term value of information published in peer-reviewed engineering publications is the inability of readers to readily access data contained within a publication. This paper discusses experiences in changing the expectations for data sharing by authors in a large, disciplinary engineering journal, the AIChE Journal, in ways that seek to balance the burdens on authors and the benefits to readers.
