Publishing Data Through Journals¶

When a paper is published, some journals will accept "supplementary materials" with the article for publication on the journal web-site. This puts the data with the article online, but it is worth checking the publisher's terms and conditions for supplementary materials - e.g. JASA request a transfer of copyright on the materials. In addition, the publisher may not give any guarantees regarding how long they will provide the supplementary materials for.

The Sherpa/Romeo site collates open access policies from journals to indicate which forms of Open Access for papers are supported by each journal. Some journals only support "Gold" Open Access (in which you need to pay a fee for your paper to be freely available via the journal web-site), other journals also support "Green" Open Access allowing self-archiving of papers on your own web-site. The details of policies below were collated in September 2012, and may have changed since.

Journals Accepting Supplementary Data¶

Of the journals most commonly asssociated with C4DM outputs, six allow the addition of supplemental materials when publishing a paper:

• The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America is published through the American Institute of Physics and allows authors to submit supplementary materials with journal papers. However, note that the JASA transfer of copyright includes all material to be published. More positively, the author can immediately publish the article on their own web-site (with a citation, link to the ASA version, and description of any differences) and, 6 months after ASA publication, the author's institution can republish the article as published with appropriate citations. [Sherpa/Romeo]
• The IEEE Signal Processing Society publish the IEEE Transactions on Audio Speech and Language Processing and will publish multimedia files (audio, images, video) and Matlab code. IEEE allow the author's final version of the paper to be archived on their own / their institution's web-site, but not the final IEEE published copy. [Sherpa/Romeo]
• The Journal of Mathematics and Music is published by Taylor and Francis and supports supplementary materials. Pre-print copies of articles can be hosted on authors/institutional/pre-press web-sites, final authors versions can be republished on arxiv.org 12 months after publication and Gold Open Access is supported, giving free access to the article in exchange for a publication fee. [Sherpa/Romeo]
• The Journal Of New Music Research is published by Routledge (part of the Taylor & Francis Group) and largely has the same policies as the Journal of Mathematics and Music. [Sherpa/Romeo]
• Computer Music Journal is published by MIT Press. Again, supplementary materials can be published with journal articles, with a non-exclusive license granted to MIT for that publication. Non-commercial publication of the article is allowed on both the author's and the author's institution's web-sites after the appropriate embargo period (6 months at the time of writing this). [Sherpa/Romeo]
• Organised Sound is published by Cambridge University Press and allows supplementary sound and video files. The copyright assignment form for this journal grants copyright in the article and the supplementary materials to CUP, but allows the author to publish under certain circumstances. Articles can be published under an open access license by the journal (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5). [Sherpa/Romeo]

Journals not Accepting Supplementary Data¶

The Journal of the Audio Engineering Society doesn't currently support data attachments for papers. [Sherpa/Romeo]
