Tieteelliset lehdet ja tutkimusdata

This report summarises the papers and discussions presented at the Scholarly Journals and Research Data Seminar organised by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies and the Finnish Association for Scholarly Publishing in February 2017. Stricter policies on storing research data in repositories and opening it are now being implemented. In fact, 27 per cent of research funders now require data archiving, including the Academy of Finland. The seminar brought together funders, researchers and representatives from journals and data archives to discuss how archiving and opening data should be carried out and the role played by journals. The questions asked included: Should journals require their authors to link their text to research data or should they only encourage such action? Should journals guide their authors to use central national or international data archives or should they establish their own separate data repositories, for example in connection with the Finnish national data service IDA?
