Supplementary Material Authors can upload Supplementary Material with their paper
Pro’s• Coupling of data and article• Peer review• Citation mechanism• Preservation (byte-wise)
Con’s• Limited data type support• Compatibility (format support)• Limited capacity• Data not centrally stored
Connecting with Data Repositories Supplementary material is not a perfect solution Many poor solutions in use: data on PCs, university
websites, personal homepages, ... Data repositories: the community’s answer?
Scientists prefer independent data repositories above publishers Domain-specific coordination Centralized information “hubs”
“Raw data should be freelyaccessible to researchers”
“... believe that, as a general principle, data sets, raw data outputs of research, and sets or subsets of that data should wherever possible be made freely accessible to other scholars ...”(Statement from STM & ALPSP, June 2006)
DB Linking Option 1: Entity Linking
For entities (concepts) mentioned inan article – proteins, genes, standardsplanets, cities, etc. etc.
Author-tagged in manuscript
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.coldregions.2012.03.009
Option 2: Image-based (article) linking
For links between article as a whole and related data sets
No author involvement required on Elsevier side Links managed by data repository

SciVerse Applications Scientific literature: a node that could more efficiently
connect resources Mass of data available to researchers outside the formal
literature is huge and growing Many disconnected nodes - minimal interoperability, even when connections
exist This is inefficient - task switching between multiple interfaces, hard to find
resources... An open platform for publishing can “un-silo” data and literature
Smart apps can facilitate interoperability, bring relevant data into context with papers
Integrated user experience, save researchers from searching in multiple data sources while reading the literature
Introduces researchers to new tools and resources they may never have found otherwise
SciVerse Applications
9
Use information from SciVerse and the web
Support for rich user interfaces
Integrated directly into the online article
Simple to build using Content and Framework APIs
Open standards (Apache Shindig, Open Social)
Features & Benefits
SciVerse Applications & Data
SciVerse Applications enable the community to create the publishing platform they need by building their own applications.
Benefits for data repositories Increase visibility, discoverability, and usage
(ScienceDirect: ~600M page views/year) Provide context: connect data with the formal
literature, avoid misinterpretations and incorrect usage
Enable researchers to interactive explore data
Applications example: NCBI Genome Viewer
11
Scans the article and builds list of sequences based on NCBI accession numbers tagged in the article
View/analyze sequence data from genes in the article using NCBI Sequence Viewer See specific information about each strand; zoom in/out; export data

Applications example: PANGAEA
12
Document identifier sent to PANGAEA data repository for earth sciences PANGAEA returns map plotted with locations where cited data was collected Push-pins open with details of dataset and direct link to data on PANGAEA.de

Putting all together: Article of the Future
Three components of the Article of the Future concept: Presentation: Offering an optimal online browsing and reading experience Content: Support authors to share a wider range of research output –
data, computer code, multimedia files, etc. Context: Connecting the online article to trustworthy scientific resources to
present valuable additional informationin the context of the article
