Data Paper

A scholarly publication describing s particular dataset or collection of datasets and usually published in the form of a peer-reviewed article in a scholarly journal. The main purpose of a data paper is to provide facts about the data (metadata, such as data collection, access, features etc.) rather than analysis and research in support of the data, as found in a conventional research article. A Data Paper will have a dual document type: Article; Data Paper.

Prior to 2016, a Data Paper was processed as an Article only.

Contribution to journal

Database Review

A critical appraisal of a database, often reflecting a reviewer's personal opinion or recommendation. Refers to a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system.

Contribution to journal

Early Access

An article that has been electronically published by a journal before it has been assigned to a specific volume and issue. An Early Access article will have a dual document type that will include the document type assigned and Early Access: Article; Early Access. When the article is later indexed from the issue, it is updated with the volume, issue, date, page information and the Early Access document type is removed. The processing of Early Access articles began in December 2017. Only journals that have been onboarded for early access contain Early Access articles.

To qualify as Early Access, content must:

be the version of record that will not change, aside from the final assignment in a volume/issue

include a DOI that will not change

include an Early Access publication date

include the cited references if present in the version of record

not include volume, issue, page range, final publication date

be published in a journal with a volume/issue model

Because the content is not expected to change between the Early Access version and the version assigned to a specific volume and issue, the Early Access year is considered fully published as they can begin to accrue citations in this early access state.

If the amount of time between the Early Access publication and publication in a specific volume and issue spans multiple years, then the Early Access date and the Publication Date may differ. Both dates are provided to facilitate easy discovery. If desired for analytics purposes, you may refine by a single year to eliminate double counting.
