  1. OECD’s approach to publishing datasets ALCTS: Webinar: Datasets for Publication, Standards and issues 7 December 2011 Terri Mitton Data Products Project Manager OECD Publishing terri.mitton@oecd.org

  2. Data is hard to find • Scopus content (July 2011): • 19,000 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers • 18,500 journals • 425 trade publications • 325 book series • 250 conference proceeding. • 375 million scientific web pages • 24.8 million patent records …data is missing

  3. You need to know where to look Source: OECD database. Which one? Source: IMF Staff Papers (2007) 54, 191–219. doi:10.1057/palgrave.imfsp.9450013 Current Account Deficits in Rich Countries

  4. What we set out to achieve • Citations to datasets and tables will make dataas easy to discover as other works • Authors will be able to cite dataset and tables as they do with publications • Librarians will be able to catalogue datasets and tables like other published outputs • Publishers can link to datasets and tables • Discovery systems can find datasets and tables

  5. OECD’s publishing approach • Bibliographic standards definition • Cataloguing datasets and data tables • Online publishing and citing • Making data available via other discovery channels

  6. Bibliographic standards definition • In 2007-2008, Development of standards for bibliographic management and citing of datasets and data tables based on existing standards for e-journals. • Green, T (2009), “We Need Publishing Standards for Datasets and Tables”, OECD Publishing White Paper, OECD publishing. doi: 10.1787/603233448430

  7. Publishing metadata for datasets and data tables Collection of Datasets Stand-alone Dataset Collections of key tables ISSN DOI ISSN DOI ISSN DOI Sub-collection of datasets Key tables DOI dataset DOI DOI Key table editions DOI

  8. Cataloguing datasets and data tables • In 2009, cataloguing of datasets and data tables in a central bibliographic database according to the new standardstogether with OECD books, journals and papers. • Hired statistical editors in Publishing unit • Developed editorial quality standards for datasets • Worked with authors to improve content • Hired a librarian to help catalogue

  9. Online publishing Collection of datasets Book Datasets Data tables

  10. Publishing datasets

  11. Publishing key tables

  12. Publishing tables in books

  13. Citation is at the dataset level

  14. Key tables are cited as part of a table collection

  15. Links between data and publications

  16. Links with other publications • Each dataset and table is assigned a unique and persistent DOI referenced in CrossRef database, allowing linking between datasets and published articles, books, chapters, etc. Source: www.crossref.org on 2 December 2011

  17. MARC records for datasets and key tables

  18. Future work • Standards and citation to be enhanced to manage dynamic and frequently updated datasets, static dataset editions and archives • Export the publishing metadata to various channels, library catalogues, specialists portals such as www.repec.org, to increase discovery.
