Will there be other workflows?
Yes—based on your feedback Let us know your requirements Examples: retro-minting for RDA collections self-service webpage
FAQ: What’s different about Cite My Data?
Other ANDS services are: Relationship between ANDS and data owners Variable metadata requirements Australian research and government sector Cite My Data is different: Involves international DOI infrastructure Involves DataCite Compulsory metadata requirement
FAQ: What happens when ANDS ends?
Short answer: nothing Longer answer: Data owners are registered directly with DataCite Your DOI’s will persist You will need to find another registration agent
FAQ: How much will this cost me?
The service is free to use Government funded data infrastructure DOI address space is effectively infinite
FAQ: What if something goes wrong?
Let us know: [email protected]
An ANDS Client Liaison officer For service suggestions, improvements [email protected]
FAQ: What if I need 1-1 advice?
Contact your friendly neighborhood CLO http://projects.ands.org.au/getAllProjects.php?start=all&sort=institution Contact Karen Visser: Wide range of community support options Contact me: [email protected]
FAQ: What data granularity to cite?
Firstly consider the data users: What level would they expect to use the data?
Best practices still evolving Consider citing at multiple levels: Parent collection DOI Data item DOIs See optional metadata
FAQ: What if my data changes?
Many datasets change for many reasons No one size fits all answers Consider snapshots approach: New version of existing dataset Consider slices approach: Changes to an existing dataset (delta) Changed datasets can refer to each other See optional metadata Discuss your specific requirements with ANDS
FAQ: How do I do data citation metrics?
How do I track citations to my data?
Infrastructure well established for publications Still developing for data Promising developments: Domain data portals Journal companies CrossCite Electronic journals
Domain data portals
International domain specific portal For example: PANGEA—earth and environmental sciences http://www.pangaea.de/ For example: Dryad—basic and applied biosciences http://datadryad.org/ Blurring meaning of a “publication”
New e-journals
Further blurring meaning of “publication” Deposit data with publication for peer review For example: GigaScience—big data from biosciences http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/ For example: Acta Cryst E—crystallography http://journals.iucr.org/e/
How are others doing data citation?

Thu, 18 October, 12:00pm – 12:50pm
Citation Counts! Heather Piwowar UBC
Heather’s research focuses on studying the patterns, prevalence and impact of data sharing and reuse behaviour of “small science” post-publication datasets.
Wed, 26 September, 10am – 11am
DRYAD, USA Ryan Scherle
Dryad is governed by a consortium of journals.
Ryan will discuss Dryad's data citation practices and then lead a discussion aimed at developing more standard practices for citation worldwide.
Thu, 25 October, 5pm – 6pm UK Data Archive Dr Louise Corti
Dr Louise Corti will discuss the UK Data Archive's chosen Data Citation methodology and what they are doing to consider citing parts (subsets, versions, time slices etc) of data.

Step 1
Self check: Is the data part of the scholarly record?
Can you ensure persistence of the data?
Can you provide mandatory metadata?
Can you access a M-2-M service?
Get in touch: With ANDS Client Liaison Officer Or at [email protected]
Step 2
Provide registration details To [email protected]
We need: DOI account name DOI account contact name DOI account contact email Top level domain IP address range for service clients
Step 3
Registration confirmation An email from ANDS: Confirms use of service test prefix Looks like 10.5072/*
Step 4
Mint test DOIs Using the test prefix from Step 3 Use these for workflow development Use these for integration and system testing
Step 5
Service agreement As per all ANDS M-2-M services Return signed agreement to ANDS Scanned copy to [email protected]
Original to your friendly neighbourhood CLO
Step 6
You will receive email confirming agreement Start minting production DOIs These will look like: 10.4225/*, 10.4226/*, 10.4227/*
