Rewards are real … but few (yet)

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.

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.

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 a number of institutions working with us as “early adopters” with the aim of having a BAU service in place Q2 2014.
• 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!)

….. people tweeting or sharing articles are not necessarily broadcasting the relevance of the articles to ongoing research, as citations are thought to do.
“That's the point of collecting altmetrics; the hope that they provide some insight beyond the things we usually look at. It's interesting to look at top-tweeted articles because that's evidence that there was something about them worth sharing,” ….

Do tweets count?

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’!

Be ready for 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 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
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?
