Primer

Process for writing curation papers (draft)

1. Identify the lead author (role defined below).

2. Create an author group. The author group will be based on individuals who have expressed interest in the given nanocuration subtopic, ideally through posting relevant content to that Project area of the NCIP Hub.

3. The author group meets and identifies the set of questions to ask the curation stakeholders (role defined below).

4. Release the questions to the stakeholder group, provide a timeline for responses (e.g., 2-3 weeks).

5. Lead author creates the first draft of the paper, based on the standard outline.

*Why the nano curation sub-topic is important and relevant *How does the driving purpose of the resource or goals of the curation effort impact the design and challenges involved with this specific aspect of curation? *What are established handling methods for this sub-topic in mature fields (e.g. biocuration) *What are the key challenges for emerging materials / nanomaterials with regard to this sub-topic? *Are there any specific use cases to illustrate these issues and make them tangible? *Recommendations: i. Are there opportunities to leverage existing nanoinformatics resources (e.g. ISA-TAB Nano) in addressing integration for this sub-topics, or reasons not to do so? ii. What are some practical next steps for individual stakeholders or the community as a whole?

6. Contributing authors provide content, edits.

7. Iterate
