Abstract:
As part of society-wide efforts to promote open access in science, the American Society for Microbiology journals are piloting the publication of companion articles highlighting rigorous data resources. The simultaneous publication of original research and data resource articles will increase awareness of, and access to, verified data sets that are critical to scientific progress. Companion articles in Microbiology Resource Announcements and two research journals, mSystems and Applied and Environmental Microbiology, will serve as an initial experiment to promote open and reproducible science.
