What is data citation & why do we care? Whats been happening here and overseas? How ready are you for data citation? 1 Welcome! Image: WHATS NEW? 2 ands.org.au 3 researchdata.ands.org.au 4 5 Data Citation why we care Benefits for academia and the nation global access to research data legitimately citable contribution to the scientific record results can be verified and re-purposed for future study cross disciplinary studies never previously possible 6 Benefits for research funders Australia invests over $30B p/a in R&D Australia has approximately 100K researchers Data capture costs up to half of a research project Enabling data reuse will reduce that cost Data citation is key to enabling data reuse Expanded publishing opportunities Data Citation why we care 7 Benefits for individuals and institutions acknowledge and reward data outputs data citation metrics - reuse can be tracked increases the citation rate of linked publications data publications acceptable for CVs and biosketches (NSF) journals require citations for supplemental material Data Citation why we care 8 20th century data citation 9 JohnG; Jen.

This is done in what is called a "biosketch" - basically a summary of your work, an a key part of the granting process.Funders come on board 14 Early indications 15 And elsewhere The Code What will the next revision say about data? Publishers come on board HUG 17 Integrated access to publications data 18 Integrated access to publications data 19 Data Journals 20nature. com/scientificdata / Scientific Data now calling for submissions for launch in May 2014. 21 Standards and conventions DOIs : an ISO Standard 22 DataCite unique identifiers for datasetsORCID unique identifiers for peopleODIN builds on these initiatives to address identifier awareness23 ORCID, DataCite & ODIN 24 Researchers come on board 25Citation tracking 26 Altmetrics Source: impactstory.org ANDS & Data Citation 27 28 To summarise Data citation is becoming accepted scholarly practice Traditional journals are embracing data citation, Many new journals assume data citation Research funding will have more emphasis on data access + reuse = citation Scholarly metrics will eventually include citations to data altmetrics will become more important: reach and impact & early identification of seminal datasets DOIs best practice for persistent access to data products A number of institutions in Australia are building a culture of data citation within their organisations: Some are dipping their toes Some have it in their data management roadmap For some, its a blip on their radar Where are you? Next steps? 29 Are we there yet? Do we have a metadata catalogue? Do we have a store of publicly available data? Do our researchers regularly archive data? Are our researchers interested in data citation? Do our policy makers support data citation? Are our datasets stable? Do we have access to a developer to implement the tools?
