[Annotation] [Biocurator] Journal Submission Form

[Shimoyama, Mary]

It would also be true for RGD that directly submitted data is
prioritized for curation - this tends to be QTLs and strains rather than
genes, though.

Subject: [Biocurator] Journal Submission Form

Hello,
I needed to leave the meeting (it's quite late here in the UK!), but I 
have a couple of thoughts.

The policy in which authors are required to have an ISND accession 
number before acceptance of their paper is called the mandatory 
submission policy. I am not sure how many journals have this policy but 
it might be a good place to tie in the form we are discussing with this 
requirement. However, based on my understanding of the reluctance of 
some journals to accept the mandatory submission policy, any form we 
have would I think need to be capturing only the very basic but 
essential information.

Someone mentioned that it would be useful to mention that any paper 
including this essential information would be prioritised for curation. 
 From my (WormBase) point of view, this is certainly not the case. Data 
which is submitted using our in-house submission forms (crude as some of

them are) gets the highest priority.

Thanks,

Mary Ann
