Understanding life sciences data curation practices

What is it about?

Europe PMC with the support of Elixir, has laid the foundation for an annotations infrastructure that facilitates literature-data integration with an aim to support various curation workflows. To ensure the infrastructure is indeed useful and meet the needs of curators, we have recently carried out: 1) Observational study to understand and identify common workflow patterns and practices. 2) Curator community survey to more specifically understand which entity types, sections of a paper and tools are of top priority.
