WHAT’S NEW?

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
Data Citation – why we care
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

Where are we up to?
(Some) recent developments:
•Funders & Government(s)
•Publishers
•Researchers
•Standards
•Citation tracking
• ANDS and Australian institutions

Funders come on board
the NSF now allows for citable data (ie with a DOI) to be
listed as an outcome of research, like a journal article. This is
done in what is called a "biosketch" - basically a summary of
your work, an a key part of the granting process.

And in Australia …
“The Code”
What will the
next revision
say about
data?

Publishers come on board

Integrated access to publications and data
14
Data Journals
15
Scientific Data now calling for submissions for
launch in May 2014.

Standards and conventions
17
DOIs : an ISO Standard
http://datacite.org
18
ORCID, DataCite & ODIN
DataCite – unique identifiers for datasets
http:dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000164
ORCID – unique identifiers for people
http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5109-3700
ODIN – builds on these initiatives to address
“identifier awareness”
19
Researchers come on board …

Are we there yet? Institutional readiness
A number of institutions in Australia are minting DOIs and
building a culture of data citation within their
organisations;
Some are “dipping their toes”;
Some have it in their data management roadmap;
For some, it’s a “blip” on their radar;
Where are you? Next steps?
26
Is my organisation ready for data citation?
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?

Any questions before we move into
the discussion session?
Thank you!

Why do we care?
•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
