Digital Discovery data reviewers
The Royal Society of Chemistry believes that, where possible, all data associated with the research in a manuscript should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR), enabling other researchers to replicate and build on that research.
As such, Digital Discovery expect that authors submit both their code and data to community-recognized data repositories or a general repository if no community resource is available, and submit a Data Availability Statement upon their article submission. Referees have to be able to access code and data during the peer-review process, and public release should be coordinated with the publication of the manuscript.
During the peer review of Digital Discovery manuscripts, the Associate Editor solicits the expertise of at least two reviewers to assess the article and submit a report. A third data reviewer may also be consulted to assess and comment on the data provided. By becoming a data reviewer, you will be included in our data reviewer pool as a possible assessor of data and the submitted Data Availability Statements.
