The Geoscience Paper of the Future: Best Practices for Documenting and Sharing Research from Data to Software to Provenance

Abstract

Geoscientists live in a world rich with digital data and methods, and their computational research cannot be fully captured in traditional publications. The Geoscience Paper of the Future (GPF) proposes best practices for GPF authors to make data, software, and methods openly accessible, citable, and well documented. Those best practices come from recommendations by both scholars and organizations concerning open science, reproducible publications, and digital scholarship. The publication of digital objects empowers scientists to manage their research products as valuable scientific assets in an open and transparent way that enables broader access by other scientists, students, decision makers, and the public. Improving documentation and dissemination of research will accelerate the pace of scientific discovery by improving the ability of others to build upon published work. This presentation summarizes …
