Research data can be published on the internet through:
4 2 Steve Welburn
* generic web archives (e.g. "archive.org":http://archive.org)
5 2 Steve Welburn
* research data sites (e.g. "figshare":http://figshare.com/)
6 8 Steve Welburn
* more general open access research hosts (e.g. "f1000 Research":http://f1000research.com/about/)
7 4 Steve Welburn
* thematic repositories dedicated to a specific discipline / subject area - sadly there is no sign of an appropriate repository for digital music and audio research
8 9 Steve Welburn
* institutional repositories dedicated to research from a specific organisation (e.g. QMUL have "a repository":https://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/jspui/ through which "Green open access":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access copies of papers by QM research staff can be published).

Within the Centre for Digital Music, we now have a "research data repository":http://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/rdr/ for publishing reserach data outputs from the group.

h2. Journals
13 6 Steve Welburn
14 15 Steve Welburn
Of the journals most commonly asssociated with C4DM outputs, three allow the addition of supplemental materials when publishing a paper:
15 17 Steve Welburn
* The online "Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA)":http://asadl.org/jasa/ is published through the "American Institute of Physics":http://www.aip.org and allows authors to submit "supplementary materials":http://www.aip.org/pubservs/epaps.html 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.

16 16 Steve Welburn
* "Computer Music Journal (CMJ)":http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/comj is published by MIT Press. Again, "supplementary materials":http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/sub/comj can be published with journal articles. 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":http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/policies/authorposting (6 months at the time of writing this). ??But are supplements published online?? ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/0148-9267/]
17 18 Steve Welburn
* The "IEEE Signal Processing Society":http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org publish the "IEEE Transactions on Audio Speech and Language Processing":http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=10376 and will publish "??multimedia files (audio, images, video) and Matlab code??":http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/publications/periodicals/taslp/taslp-author-information/ ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/1558-7916/]
