BioSharing featured in Nature Genetics' editorial on "Standard cooperating procedure"

"Community review of proposed standards is a good strategy to broaden consensus on ways to conduct principled, ethical and efficient research" says the editorial on "Standard cooperating procedure" Nature Genetics' 43, 501 (2011).

"The Data Standards preprint server at Nature Precedings makes funder policies, data plans and standards documents citable for use and comment. Biosharing complements this by indexing and presenting them along with other related initiatives. By working together to maximize the visibility and inter-operability of policies, plans and standards, we will make them easier to develop and submit and improve their usefulness to researchers."

The collaboration between Nature Precedings and BioSharing has resulted in a new Collection, see related blog post.
