Data Citation Workshop
ANDS ran a half day workshop at eResearch Australasia 2011
Building a culture of research data citation
Jan Brase, Stuart Hungerford, Karen Visser
The Australian research community has for many years valued the consistent and persistent citation of research publications. A parallel mechanism for the citation of Australian research data sets is now enabled by Cite My Data, a service provided by the Australian National Data Service.
The service is based on the international DataCite initiative which uses the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) standard to support communities to use data citation in the same way that the Crossref initiative supports publication citation. Cite My Data allows Australian researchers to uniquely identify datasets, cite them in research publications and cross-cite from other datasets.
The DOI system is a key enabler of automated citation tracking and indexing, which, if applied to data citations, would provide incentive to, and acknowledgement for, "publishing" data.
This workshop was designed for all those with an interest in data citation and how it can be supported by their institutions. The workshop included:
- An overview of data citation in scholarly communication
- A practical demonstration of how to use the ANDS DOI service, "Cite My Data" and integrate it into eresearch systems
- A discussion of the value of being part of the international DataCite consortium and DOI system
- Examples of emerging practice internationally
- Opportunities to learn from the experience of early implementers in Australia
- Strategies for policy implementation at research organisations and data archives
Presenters included Jan Brase from DataCite, early adopters of the Cite My Data service and ANDS staff.
