Data notation and DOIs Conversation at F2F meeting: In the conversation during the face-to-face meeting we looked at examples of each author's wiki posts. Ibrahim had posted data for his article and included the QR code with the entry. We discussed whether or not a QR code was appropriate to include in the actual journal articles to improve accessibility.
