Many datasets belong to the long tail. Though less standardized, they can be rich in information content and have unique value

A variety of ways to participate in Dryad

•  Be a member of Dryad –  For governance and stakeholder support

•  Some revenue •  For an impactful and financially secure membership program, you

need to offer benefits and features which can erode the return on membership dollars. It is a balance.

•  Integrate your journal with Dryad’s system – currently no fee –  Automatically link the article and data –  Make it easier for authors to submit –  Encouraging compliance to your policy –  Slight increase in data deposits often with individuals paying for DPCs

•  Sponsor data publication charges (DPC) – our main model for sustainability

Price increase

•  New prices were announced in December 2015 and were implemented January 2016 –  ~50% increase for all plans –  Larger discount for members (member fees did not

increase) –  Increased data size allowance before overage fees kick in –  Removed slight difference for integrated journals as the

price structure was confusing and didn’t incentivize integrations
