Re: Draft - Declaration of Data Citation Principles

Hi Bert,

Claims in this context mean scientific assertions. 

To take a real example, this is a scientific claim citing a table (Table S1) in supplemental material. 
"We find that neurons in the granular layer of the DG devel- oped tau pathology several months after lesions appeared in the MEC, with Alz50-positive and PHF1-positive soma appear- ing in the DG at 18 months and Gallyas- and Thioflavin S-positivesoma appearing at 24 months (Table S1; Figure S2)." 

 (quoted from de Calignon A, Polydoro M, Suárez-Calvet M, et al. Propagation of Tau Pathology in a Model of Early Alzheimer's Disease. Neuron. 2012;73(4):685-697. )

The actual table is a graphic and cannot be interrogated.  

Principle 3 recommends that this "supplementary" data  be cited along with the claim - which is done already here. 
Principle 4 recommends that it be cited with a DOI or other unique identifier - this could be for the whole set of supplementary data, or for subdivisions of the set.  

Best
