Overview and update ANDS-Intersect Workshop, Sydney, 26Nov 2013
Welcome! What is data citation & why do we care? What’s been happening here and overseas? How ready are you for data citation? Image: http://andrew-johnson.org
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
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 image: http://riverbankoftruth.com
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. <http://datapub.cdlib.org/?p=1343>
And in Australia … “The Code” What will the next revision say about data?
Publishers come on board http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/22/idUS109861+22-Jun-2012+HUG20120622

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?
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
