  1. Connecting the DOIs Reward eResearch Australasia 2013 24 Oct 2013

  2. Rewards are real … but few (yet)

  3. Citations for related publications “…we find a robust citation benefit from open data…” [and] conclude there is a direct effect of third-party data reuse that persists for years beyond the time when researchers have published most of the papers reusing their own data” Piwowar HA, Vision TJ. (2013) Data reuse and the open data citation advantage. PeerJ 1:e175 http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.175

  4. Enabling rewards • More rewards for data citation are on the horizon, but … • We (and our funders) can’t reward what we don’t know about. • Like publications, citation metrics can provide ‘evidence’ of impact and reach. • Citation tracking products are in their infancy, but maturing quickly among commercial and not-for-profit organisations.

  5. Measuring data citation Metrics Alt-metrics Alt-metrics Alternative metrics = reach, influence Social media Fast Metrics Traditional = impact H Index Citation indices Formal citations Slow Image: http://commons.wikimedia.org

  6. Altmetrics

  8. Data Citation Tracking – Scopus (not yet) http://www.info.sciverse.com/scopus/scopus-in-detail/tools

  9. Released 2012 http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/multidisciplinary/dci/ http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/multidisciplinary/dci/

  10. Thomson Reuters recommends citing this resource as: Global Soil Data Task (2000): GLOBAL GRIDDED SURFACES OF SELECTED SOIL CHARACTERISTICS (IGBP-DIS). Version 9.0. Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center for Biogeochemical Dynamics. http://dx.doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/569

  11. Self Citation

  12. Cited by others

  13. RDA records to Data Citation Index • ANDS is currently working closely with Thomson Reuters to enable a feed of RDA records to the Data Citation Index. • We have 12 institutions working with us as “early adopters” • We aim to have a BAU service in place by the end of this year. • ANDS has also been talking with Elsevier as they develop their ‘Scopus’ data citation tracking capability. • ANDS will provide this as a service (so you don’t need to!) • Learn more at: http://ands.org.au/cite-data/dci.html

  14. Where are we up to? • Products that track data citation metrics are rapidly evolving, but (more) authors need to cite data. • While metrics are an enabler, our institutions and funding bodies also need to recognise and reward data sharing and reuse through policy and practice. • This will further encourage good data citation practice. • The wheel is turning and gaining momentum. • Be on the ‘front foot’!

  15. Be ready for the rewards… • Ensure data is discoverable, reusable, citable and trackable • Describe data (well) • Assign open licensing where possible (eg CC-BY) • Preferably, assign a DOI to data • Publish data (with descriptions) • Encourage researcher to cite their own data in their publications • Encourage researchers to cite data from other sources they’ve reused • Track reuse through altmetrics and indexing products • Contact ANDS about the RDA to DCI project

  17. Discussion points 1. What needs to happen for data citation to be better recognised and rewarded? in the policy arena in the institutional arena in the research community ie. your researchers and their colleagues 2. What can you do now to help position your institution and researchers to take advantage of tracking and reward mechanisms as they evolve? What existing services and infrastructure can you tap into? 3. What are the key messages to take back to your researchers? Your institution?
