What Our Customers Say

The coverage within the data sharing chapter is excellent. Commercial and society abstracting and indexing services offer a good start to facilitate discovery and reuse of your work. However, this data sharing chapter will allow you as an author to become fully responsible for the metadata and data associated with your work, greatly increasing its discovery and reuse within the community.”
