  1. Mandates and Narrative: Including data in your AAS Journal article Greg Schwarz AAS Journals Data Editor Hot-wiring the Transient Universe V Villanova October 13, 2016

  2. The mission of the American Astronomical Society is to enhance and share humanity’s scientific understanding of the Universe.

  3. Data Mandates NSF: “Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants. Grantees are expected to encourage and facilitate such sharing.” https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp NASA (Astrophysics Division): “At a minimum the Science Mission Directorate expects that a data management plan for Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences must promise to release the data needed to reproduce figures, tables and other representations in publications. We expect this to be made available at the time of publication. Supplementary materials (or the like) is one really easy way to do this and it has the advantage that the data and the figures are linked together in perpetuity without any ongoing effort on your part.” https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/dmp-faq-roses

  4. TL;DR • Share the data derived from the grant. • Do it as soon as possible. • Minimize the costs.

  5. Addressing the mandates in the AAS Journals • Machine readable tables (2000) • Animations (2000, embedded 2016) • Figure sets (2005) • Data behind the Figure (2010) • Interactive figures (2014) • External repository support (2015) • Two data editors • myself (2000) and Gus Muench (2014)

  6. Machine readable tables “MAIN BELT ASTEROIDS WITH WISE/NEOWISE. I. PRELIMINARY ALBEDOS AND DIAMETERS” Masiero et al. 2011 ApJ, 741, 68

  7. AAS Journal tables in CDS/VizieR

  8. Streaming video and Figure sets

  9. Data behind the Figure (DbF) “STANDARD STARS AND EMPIRICAL CALIBRATIONS FOR Hα AND Hβ PHOTOMETRY” Joner & Hintz 2015, AJ, 150, 6

  10. Interactive Figures “ADVANCED DATA VISUALIZATION IN ASTROPHYSICS: THE X3D PATHWAY” Vogt et al. 2016, ApJ, 818, 2

  11. External Repository Support • Use DOI-issuing, external repositories for data that can not be held with the article, e.g. • very large files, • complex data sets, • I/O from software, and • Scripts or static “frozen” software packages. • Recommended repositories are: • Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomical Research (CANFAR) • Zenodo, • Figshare, • Harvard Dataverse • Astrolabe, a joint AAS-University of Arizona project. https://github.com/AASJournals/Tutorials/tree/master/Repositories

  12. What is the cost? $30 per item!

  13. Data support • Data review of new submission • AASTeX upgrade • Highlighting data linking in the HTML • MAST data identifying and linking project

  14. AASTeX upgrade New AASTeX v6.0 released in Jan. 2016. V6.1 coming soon! • Now based on emulateapj. • Front end changes • watermarking, • author/affiliation/collaboration updates. • Two new author revision mark up types. • New mark up for figures consisting of multiple files. • New table features including: • automatic column numbering, • hide columns, and • decimal alignment. • Improved software citation/highlighting via \software command. • New .bst file. http://journals.aas.org/authors/aastex.html

  15. Data Highlighting

  16. MAST project (IDing)

  17. MAST project (DOI minting)

  18. Why provide data? • Mandated by funding agencies. • Easy to do and cost effective. • Facilitates reproducibility and additional research. • More citations!
