Making supplemental data a two way street: Taylor & Francis continue developing support

Report this content

It’s easy for authors to make their research more discoverable with the latest partnership development from Taylor & Francis and DataCite. Increasingly, authors are opting to include supplemental material with their research, and in many cases, are required to as a condition of funding. Taylor & Francis are able to support this by working with DataCite to ensure effective inclusion of the research behind an article’s creation.

DataCite is an online repository that helps researchers find, access, and reuse data. Through partnership with DataCite, authors with Taylor & Francis can deposit their research data into one of DataCite’s member data centres. A reciprocal link is then generated between this material and the article using the article’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI). If someone gets to the research first, they can click through to read the article, and if they get to the article first, they can link through to discover the data. This way, supplemental data becomes a two way street.

“On Taylor & Francis Online, getting users to content quickly and easily is at the heart of what we do. In partnering with DataCite we are helping researchers get to more than just the article, but also to research material behind the article that could be fundamental to future research,” says Julie Sutton, Senior eProduct Manager at Taylor & Francis.

The Taylor & Francis partnership with DataCite offers readers new and multiple ways to engage, understand, and develop ideas, and benefits authors by creating new pathways to reach their work. This makes it more discoverable and potentially increases its impact.
