h1. Publishing research data

Research data can be published on the internet through:

* generic web archives (e.g. "archive.org":http://archive.org)

* research data sites (e.g. "figshare":http://figshare.com/)

* more general open access research hosts (e.g. "f1000 Research":http://f1000research.com/about/)

* thematic repositories dedicated to a specific discipline / subject area - sadly there is no sign of an appropriate repository for digital music and audio research

* 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.

Pre-press e-Prints of articles can be published through http://arxiv.org/ and the related "Computing Research Repository":http://arxiv.org/corr/home

h2. Journals

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

* The "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. ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/0001-4966/]

* 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/. IEEE "allow":http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/index.html 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":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/1558-7916/]

* The "Journal of Mathematics and Music":http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tmam20/current is published by "Taylor and Francis":http://www.tandfonline.com and "supports supplementary materials":http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/multimedia.asp. 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":http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=tmam20&page=instructions  and Gold Open Access is supported, giving free access to the article in exchange for a publication fee. ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/1745-9737/]

* The "Journal Of New Music Research":http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/nnmr20/current is published by "Routledge":http://www.routledge.com/ (part of the Taylor & Francis Group) and largely has the same policies as the Journal of Mathematics and Music. ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/0929-8215/]

* "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, 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":http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/policies/authorposting (6 months at the time of writing this). ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/0148-9267/]

* "Organised Sound":http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=OSO is published by "Cambridge University Press":http://journals.cambridge.org 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":http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo?jid=OSO&type=tcr. Articles can be published under an open access license by the journal (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5). ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/1355-7718/]

The "Journal of the Audio Engineering Society":http://www.aes.org/journal/ doesn't currently support data attachments for papers. ["Sherpa/Romeo":http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/issn/1549-4950/]

h2. Misc. Other Repositories

The "Digital Curation Centre (DCC)":http://www.dcc.ac.uk/ have a (very short) "list of repositories":http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/external/repositories .

Repositories using DSpace can be registered on the DSpace web-site, for inclusion in the list of "Who's using DSpace ?":http://www.dspace.org/whos-using-dspace .

Within the University of London, the "School of Advanced Study":http://sas.ac.uk/ has a "repository":http://sas-space.sas.ac.uk/ of humanities-related items.

"University of the Arts London":http://arts.ac.uk/ have an online "repository":http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/

"Edina":http://edina.ac.uk/ provides a national data centre

bq. EDINA is a UK national academic data centre, designated by JISC on behalf of UK funding bodies to support the activity of universities, colleges and research institutes in the UK, by delivering access to a range of online data services through a UK academic infrastructure, as well as supporting knowledge exchange and ICT capacity building, nationally and internationally.

Services hosted at EDINA include:

* JISC "Mediahub":http://www.jiscmediahub.ac.uk

* "OpenDepot":http://opendepot.org/ open access to journal papers

* Mapping data
