Happy New Year Pangeo people.

This is possibly off topic as not directly related to Pangeo but wondering peoples experience and thoughts / advice on journals to publish papers that document new geoscience datasets. In this case it’s related to in-situ ocean measurements.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

One option is the Geoscience Data Journal [https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/20496060](https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/20496060) -Doug

Hey Doug, thanks for this reply. Much appreciated.

There is also [Earth System Science Data](https://earth-system-science-data.net) (EGU, Open Access journal) and [Scientific Data](https://www.nature.com/sdata/). For full disclosure: I am an editor at the latter and think it’s pretty great.

@CommonClimate Julien, thanks for those great options. If it’s OK I might DM you about Scientific Data?

DM or email, yes. SD tends to favor submissions of broad interest to the community, though that is of course a subjective call.
