Today

Review of  Data citation landscape  The ANDS Cite My Data Service FAQ’s  Most commonly asked questions I’m assuming  You understand need for data citation  You understand what a DOI is  You do or will access ANDS services (M-2-M)

  

The data citation landscape

DataCite  International consortium for data citation  Uses familiar DOI infrastructure ANDS  Australian registration agent for DataCite  Provides “Cite My Data” service Citation metrics  Journal companies  CrossCite  Domain portals

How to use the “Cite My Data” service?

0: Registration 1: Request DOI 2: Update DataCite Research Data Australia

5

Data Owner 3: Update ANDS 4: Return DOI 5: Use DOI in harvest

 

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]

 [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/*
