In October, BMC Research Notes launched 'data notes'.
The BMC describes data notes as "data descriptors that aim to increase data availability and support the reuse of valuable research data." Data notes are restricted to a limit of 1000 words, and comprise three sections: Objective, Data description and Limitations.
They still come at a price, with a APC of €600 per article, but the goal is to provide a visible platform to make better use of valuable data that may otherwise go unused.
For more information about data notes, and BMC Research Notes, read a blog post by BMC editor Dirk Krüger, here.
