Data infrastructure & citation roadmap
We are working toward:
 Embedding DOIs into automated
data collection workflows
 Minting DOIs for grey literature:
theses, reports, discussion papers
etc.
 Improving links between research
publications and underlying data
 Reviewing DOI guidelines, rules
and workflows at future points in
time
 Embedding types of metadata,
such as COINS, into the landing
pages to assist import into citation
tools
“Cite this collection”
feature in the
Griffith Research
Hub.
Supporting cut-and-paste
into word processors and
notes.

Outreach and communications – what we did
 Spoke with librarians about citation practices in different
disciplines
 Included data citation benefits as part of standard
consultations (on demand)
 Notification workflows
 Reviewed existing information
and workflows
 Included data citation in new
Best practice guidelines for
researchers: managing research
data and primary materials

Lessons learned
 Citation cultures vary across
disciplines
 Early career researchers
seemed more open to data
citation possibilities
 Try to find ‘hooks’
 Evidence base for benefits is
still small
 Bigger picture - many things
are outside our control
