description

This presentation sets out some of the challenges around citing and identifying datasets and introduces DataCite, the international data citation initiative. DataCite was founded on 1-December 2009 to support researchers byproviding methods for them to locate, identify, and citeresearch datasets with confidence.This presentation was given by Adam Farquhar at the STM Publishers Association Innovation Conference on 4-Dec-2009.

2. Widening gapA widening gap in the scientific record between published research and the data that underlies itPublished work held by librariesDatasets held by data centresNo effective way to link betweendatasets and articlesNo widely used method toidentify datasetsNo widely used method to citedatasets As a result, datasets are Difficult to discover Difficult to access Second-class citizens in the scientific record 2 3. Datasets first class citizens?DatasetsPublished articlesData is difficult to manage after Libraries ensure long-term storage project funding ceasesand managementInformal networks provide the Established funded services provide primary means of sharingthe primary means of accessOnly 21% use a national orNearly all published articles are held international facilityin multiple national librariesDatasets are not included in impact Articles and citations form the analysisbackbone of impact analysisGood luck finding it or getting Catalogues and full-text search permission to use it (your discipline support discovery may vary)Source: UKRDS Study3 4.
