Abstract

Data publication is increasingly regarded as important scientific achievement and data publications are now fully citable in journal articles. This paper focuses on improving the reusability of data publications by providing comprehensive data descriptions complementary to standardized metadata. In this context, data reports proved to be a helpful tool to fill the gap between restricted ’README’ information on one hand and preparing an extended peer-reviewed data article on the other hand.
