Panel discussion on Peer Review of Scientific Data

Wiki Markup"Data centers have few established practices for peer review of data. Indeed there is no clear definition of what peer review of data really means. Is it a review of data accuracy or validity, or is it a review of data documentation to ensure complete description of uncertainty and context? Despite these challenges, scientists and data managers have a professional and ethical responsibility to do their best to meet the data publication goals asserted by AGU."    \    [Parsons, M. A., R. Duerr, and J.-B. Minster (2010),Data Citation and Peer Review, _ Eos Trans. AGU_,91(34), 297, doi:10.1029/2010EO340001.\]
