Elsevier research data sharing

(Internal data on dataset cosubmission)(Scopus data as of July 9 2019, Scholix data extracted on May 5, 2019 Growth = CAGR = Compound Annual Growth Rate)

Linking research data - where we are now1. During manuscript submission:

a. URLs to any repository (dataprofile.xml for EES/EVISE)b. Direct deposit to Mendeley Data (MD integration with EES/EVISE)

2. Database linking (DOI-based call to OpenAire API for pairs of article-data)3. SD Scholix implementation (SD whitelisted repositories)4. 1-time deposit of article metadata to Crossref/Scholix

Linking research data - projects up next1. During manuscript submission:

a. URLs to any repository à dataprofile.xml for EM b. Direct deposit to Mendeley Data à MD integration Aries API

2. Database linking (DOI-based call to OpenAire API for pairs of article-data)3. SD Scholix implementation (SD whitelisted repositories) à increase number of repositories

(starting Q4 2019)4. Continuous deposition of article information to CrossRef/Scholix

Policy updates to encourage sharing: statements and beyond
