"International Journal of Economic Micro Data" (IJEMD) - an innovative Information Infrastructure for the Publication of Peer Reviewed Research Data in Economics

该项目旨在开发和实施一个可互操作的信息基础设施，以发布经济研究数据。将设计一个同行评审的经济微数据开放获取数据期刊（“国际经济微数据期刊”（IJEMD））作为用例。将创建一个用于复制和验证研究结果的开源环境，以支持研究数据同行评审过程的特定要求。该期刊将发表三种不同类型的文章：(1)描述：对微数据的规范和获取这些数据的方法的描述；这类文章的目的是使这些数据更加可见，并鼓励使用这些数据。(2)重复性研究：关于研究论文重复性的短文章。(3)研究性文章：基于经济微观数据的科学文章；通常经济微观数据是非常敏感的，不能与他人共享。为了促进这些作品的复制，语法/代码和程序将在数据存档中发布。特别是在今天的经济学中，纯复制研究的发表是非常罕见的。《国际经济学微观数据杂志》将是第一本发表这类研究的杂志，因此能够缩小这一差距。此外，期刊的格式创造了进行更多复制研究的动机。技术平台的实施和数据期刊的发展为经济研究数据的出版创造了一个诱人的机会，因为作者可以得到适当形式的引用和声誉。可重复研究的同行评审出版平台将补充现有的研究数据存储库景观。

The project aims to develop and implement an interoperable Information Infrastructure for the publication of economic research data. A peer reviewed open access data journal for economic microdata (The "International Journal of Economic Microdata" (IJEMD)) will be designed as a use case. An open source environment for the reproduction and validation of research results that supports the specific requirements for the peer review process of research data will be created. The journal will publish three different kinds of articles:(1) Descriptions: Specifications of micro-data and descriptions of ways to access these data; Aim of this type of article is to make this data more visible and to stimulate the use of this data.(2) Replication studies: Short articles about replications of research articles.(3) Research articles: Scientific articles based on the use of economic micro-data; Usually economic micro data are very sensitive and can not be shared with others. To foster the replication of these works the syntax/code and programs will be published in a data archive.Especially the publication of pure replication studies are very rare in economics today. The "International Journal of Economics Micro Data" will be the first journal for the publication of this kind of studies and will therefore be able to close this gap. Moreover the journal format creates an incentive to execute more replication studies.The implementation of the technical platform and the development of the data journal creates an attractive publication opportunity for economic research data, because the authors can be honored in due form of citations and reputation. The peer review publication platform for reproducible research will complement the existing repository landscape for research data.
