BMC Research Notes and BioSharing – collaboration changes everything

Through the series on "Data standardization, sharing and publication", BMC Research Notes is building a growing network of experts on data standards from different communities – from genomics and proteomics, through to metabolomics and medical informatics.

BioSharing’s standards catalogue and BMC Research Notes’ series complement one another – standards groups can contribute educational data notes to the series which helps raise awareness of a specific standard, and which then can be linked to the BioSharing catalogue. Presenting an open dataset formatted in a standardized way (along with the corresponding preparation guidelines), each data note offers a great example of best practice in data standardization.

This partnership between BMC Research Notes and BioSharing will help both groups to reach a wider community and achieve our common goal more efficiently for a greater benefit to the scientific community. Read the full announcement on the BioMed Central Blog.
