Many datasets belong to the long tail. Though less standardized, they can be rich in information content and have unique value

data formats.

• The End To make data archiving and reuse a standard part of scholarly communication.
• The Means Integrate data archiving with the process of publication. Make archiving easy and low burden for both authors and journals. Give researchers incentives to archive their data. Promote responsible data reuse. Empower journals, societies & publishers in shared governance. Ensure sustainability and long-term preservation. Work with and support trusted, specialized disciplinary repositories.
• The Scope Research data in sciences and medicine. (Early focus on evolution and ecology). Content must be complementary to existing disciplinary repositories. Data must be associated with a vetted publication (article, thesis, book chapter, etc.) Associated non-data content (e.g. software scripts, figures) where appropriate

Lessons learnt
• Different priorities on deposit versus metadata richness may void benefits
• Advantages of one-stop deposition and when to use it are not obvious to users
• Custom-building handshaking protocols is not robust, doesn’t scale
![Page 23: The blessing and the curse: handshaking between general and specialist data repositories](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/54876f8fb4af9f6e0d8b5456/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How to promote
• Minimum metadata reporting standards?
• Uptake of community specialist repositories?
• Archival of all long-tail data?
• Linking between repositories?
