DOIs for data

Woodrow, Ross Laughren, Patrick ( 2011 ): Queensland Films 1930-1960: from Talkies to Television. Griffith Film School, Griffith University. http://dx.doi.org/10.4225/01/4F8E1426244BD

10

Digital Object Identifiers 101

Globally unique identifier;

Easy and persistent access to research data (and other resource types);

DOIs are “minted” and are “resolvable”;

Minting implies a long term commitment to maintain the resource;

DOIs support automated tracking of reuse aka data citation metrics.

DOIs and ANDS

DOI Styles• doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.745927• 10.4225/13/50BBFCFE08A12• http://dx.doi.org/10.4225/13/50BBFCFE08A12• http://doi.org/10.4225/13/50BBFCFE08A12

ANDS Cite My Data Service -> DataCite registration agency

Minimum set of metadata required to mint a DOIIdentifier, Creator, Title, Publisher, Publication Year

ANDS DOIs are for research data, software, workflows

Who cares about data citation?

13

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>

Researchers care

19

The citation benefit intensified over time... ...with publications from 2004 and 2005 cited 30

per cent more often if their data was freely available.

Every 100 papers with open data prompted 150 "data reuse papers" within five years

Original authors tended to use their data for only two years, but others re-used it for up to six years.

To summarise …

» Data citation is becoming accepted scholarly practice

» Traditional journals are embracing data citation; Many new journals assume data citation

» Research funding will have more emphasis on data access + reuse = citation

» Scholarly metrics will eventually include citations to data

» altmetrics will become more important: reach and impact & early identification of seminal datasets » DOIs – best practice for persistent access to data products

26

What to do?

the rewards…Ensure data is discoverable, reusable, citable and trackable

• Refer to the “readiness checklist”

• Describe data (well)

• Assign open licensing where possible (eg CC-BY)

• Preferably, assign a DOI to data

• Publish data (with descriptions)

• Encourage researchers 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

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?
