Abstract
Open access, free access, and the public domain are different concepts. The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) permanently guarantees free and unrestricted access to nucleotide sequence data for all researchers, irrespective of nationality or affiliation. However, recent virus information is primarily distributed via the restricted-access repository known as the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Flu Data (GISAID) supported by the World Health Organization. As compensation for the restriction, GISAID needs to meet its initial goal of benefit-sharing among countries and to curb ongoing vaccine diplomacy campaigns.
期刊介绍:
The Data Science Journal is a peer-reviewed electronic journal publishing papers on the management of data and databases in Science and Technology. Details can be found in the prospectus. The scope of the journal includes descriptions of data systems, their publication on the internet, applications and legal issues. All of the Sciences are covered, including the Physical Sciences, Engineering, the Geosciences and the Biosciences, along with Agriculture and the Medical Science. The journal publishes papers about data and data systems; it does not publish data or data compilations. However it may publish papers about methods of data compilation or analysis.
