Data Policyo PLOS journals require authors to make all data underlying the
findings described in their manuscript fully available without restriction, with rare exception.
o Authors are required to include a data availability statement in all research articles published by PLOS journals
o Refusal to share data and related metadata and methods in accordance with this policy will be grounds for rejection.

PLOS Acceptable data-sharing methods
• All data and meta data underlying reported findings should be deposited in an appropriate public repository
• Repositories may be either subject-specific and accept specific types of structured data, or generalist repositories that accept multiple data types, such as Dryad or Figshare

Publishing Data Experiences at HIE
Gerard Devine, UWS
The Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment:
• Investigates the impacts of Environmental change on terrestrial ecosystems and ecosystem function.
• Specializing in Plant Biology, Forestry Science, Ecology and Soil Science
Data sources:
• Large scale sensor networks continuously generating data
• Researcher-produced analysis data
HIEv:
Application that helps HIE manage its research data end-to-end from initial collection at field-based automatic data collection points through to dataset packaging, cataloging in UWS' research data catalogue/RedBox and advertising on the Research Data Australia website.
Handle IDs:
• For publishing routine data (that may be of use publicly)

• The need to publish a dataset associated with a journal publication. This needed a DOI as opposed to a handle
• Our HIEv -> Library system does not currently mint DOIs.
• Necessary to use a domain specific data repository or more communal data/digital repository, e.g. Figshare, Dryad etc
DOIs:
• HIEv used to package data files together into a coherent dataset for publication
• Files uploaded to Scientist’s FigShare account.
• Some additional metadata given on the Figshare upload page
• Datasets can be temporarily held in a ‘private’ state (for journal submission stage etc)
• Once published Dataset is minted with a DOI and made fully public (under the CC-BY license)
• The figshare page itself acts as the landing page/destination of the DOI
