MicropublicationA new way of publishing citable data

• Submit expression data for a single gene• Peer reviewed• Published on WormBase • Discoverable with other gene expression data• A DOI will be assigned• Usable as part of metrics –grants, CV

What sometimes happens

You have a new GFP reporter line

Interesting results but……not enough for a stand alone publication

Wragg et al. 2007

Shelved!

Not good

Not good for many reasons!

All publicly funded research should be made available to

the community

Sooner or later somebody else will

publish it

What you can do nowYou have a new GFP reporter line

You go to WormBaseand (micro)publish it

How can you do that?
