Research Data Management

Making research data available

There is a growing awareness of the importance of research data. Elsevier is committed to encouraging and supporting researchers who want to store, share, discover and reuse data. To this end, Elsevier has set up several initiatives that allow authors to make their data available when they publish with Elsevier. In this webcast we will discuss these initiatives and focus on how editors can use these opportunities to make their journal more appealing to researchers.

Electronic lab notebook

Introducing Hivebench electronic lab notebook

The time it takes to prepare, analyze and share experimental results can seem prohibitive, especially in the current, highly competitive world of biological research. However, not only is data sharing mandated by certain funding and governmental bodies, it also has distinct advantages for research quality and impact. Good laboratory practices recommend that all researchers use electronic lab notebooks (ELN) to save their results.

Data repository

Introducing data manager

Data Manager has been developed to unlock the full potential of research data. With the ability to integrate with lab tools like electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) and management tools like CRIS, it fully addresses the challenges of data sharing, monitoring, quality control, reporting and compliance at the institutional level.

Research elements

Elsevier research elements

Now researchers can get credit for these important parts of their research. Research Elements are new peer-reviewed article formats that focus on single elements of the research cycle: data, software, and materials and methods. Readers can easily find and cite new types of information to apply to their research and reproduce results, keeping the whole research cycle alive.

SoftwareX

Software articles describe significant software and/or code in full, including relevant post publication version updates. Software articles capture all metadata needed to help others apply the software in their own research. Software articles provide a way for developers to get recognition for their work, while ensuring the software or code is published and citable, contributing to the body of work in the field.

Elsevier results in physics

Results in Physics now welcomes microarticles, short articles of just 1 or 2 pages. Microarticles allow researchers to publish interesting data that have not grown into a full piece of research.

MethodsX

Materials and methods articles provide details of the methods developed and materials used during a research cycle. They recognize the time researchers spend customizing methods and creating original laboratory resources. By publishing the description of method customizations and resource details, researchers can share their findings, helping other researchers reuse, reproduce and cite information throughout their research cycle.

Did you know that publishing data, methods and software is the new way to attract more citations?
