Data Editor
Historical Biology is seeking a Data Editor
Historical Biology is dedicated to principles of Open and FAIR Science and is requiring that authors ensure that, at the point of submission, all data and/or code must be publicly available in an online repository that mints a DOI.
This vision is supported by our team of Data Editors. As part of this role, you will be part of a team of three Data Editors responsible for helping authors with difficulties or concerns to deposit their data in a way that complies with the journal’s data policy.
This role is a great opportunity for a researcher with a strong background in Open and FAIR data practices within paleontology and who cares passionately about reproducibility and openness in the field.
