Re: [dddwg] The science is in the data

A new article, "The Science is in the Data", has been posted as an
early-view article in IUCrJ, with DOI

  https://doi.org/10.1107/S2052252517013690

The article, by John R. Helliwell, Brian McMahon, J. Mitchell Guss
and Loes M. J. Kroon-Batenburg, is based in part on John Helliwell's
Keynote Lecture at the 2017 IUCr Congress in Hyderabad, and has
the following abstract:

Understanding published research results should be through
one's own eyes and include the opportunity to work with raw
diffraction data to check the various decisions made in the
analyses by the original authors. Today, preserving raw
diffraction data is technically and organizationally viable
at a growing number of data archives, both centralized and
distributed, which are empowered to register data sets and
obtain a preservation descriptor, typically a `digital object
identifier'. This introduces an important role of preserving
raw data, namely understanding where we fail in or could
improve our analyses. Individual science area case studies
in crystallography are provided.

Regards
Brian
