Citing Data to Facilitate Multidisciplinary Research

Date and time: Wednesday, 5 November: 9.45-11.15

Conveners:

Ms. Bonnie Carroll (bcarroll@iiaweb.com), Mr. Paul Uhlir

Session type: Invited talks and contributed papers

Summary:

Data Citation is a key building block in the future of scientific communications.  It has implications to scientific integrity, reproducibility, culture, and the reward structure for scientists.  The CODATA-ICSTI Task Group on Data Citation Standards and Practices published two major reports on data citation during the past two years.  The first explored issues in data citation and the second was a major survey of the current landscape of data citation. One outcome of the second report was an international cooperative group of organizations developing and promoting Data Citation Principles. This session will focus on the results of these and other activities in data citation by organizations and groups involved in promoting the data citation agenda.

Please note that this session is linked to another proposed session:  Publishing data to facilitate multidisciplinary research and to the Roundtable on Future Initiatives in Data Citation and Data Publishing.
