More bang for your byte

Scientific Data was developed in close collaboration with the scientific community, including researchers who are actively working to promote data standardization and sharing within their own fields, as well as librarians, funders and others interested in wider data sharing. Many have joined our advisory panel or editorial board, and we thank them for their support in bringing Scientific Data to fruition. Over the coming months we will be publishing a series of interviews on our blog (http://blogs.nature.com/ scientificdata), where they will expand on the challenges in their own communities and how they expect Scientific Data to help.
