The JDDCP is the outcome of a cross-domain effort to establish core principles around cited data in scholarly publications. It deals with important issues in identification, deposition, description, accessibility, persistence, and evidential status of cited data. Eighty-five scholarly, governmental, and funding institutions have now endorsed the JDDCP. The purpose of this article is to provide the necessary guidance for JDDCP-endorsing organizations to implement these principles and to achieve their widespread adoption. %K data accessibility %K data citation %K machine accessibility %K data archiving %K data accessibility %K data citation %K data archiving %K machine accessibility %U https://peerj.com/preprints/697/
