ANDS Purpose:
To make Australia’s research data assets more valuable for its researchers, research institutions and the nation.
ANDS enables transformation of:Data that are:
UnmanagedDisconnectedInvisibleSingle use
To Structured Collections that are:ManagedConnected FindableReusable
so that Australian researchers can easily publish, discover, access and use/re-use research data.

Data Journals
About Scientific Data http://www.nature.com/sdata/about
“Scientific Data is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication for descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets.”
Scientific Data primarily publishes: “Data Descriptors, a new type of scientific
publication designed to promote an in-depth understanding of research datasets”.

DOIs for data: how to cite

Digital Object Identifiers – the basics
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

Who cares about data citation?

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
31
What to do next?
the rewards…Ensure data is discoverable, reusable, citable and trackable
“readiness checklist”
• Describe data (more=>better)
• Add licence to data (eg CC-BY)
• Identify data (eg a DOI)
• Publish data (with descriptions)
• Cite data (inc. authors)
• Reuse data (cite and publish)
• Count data (eg altmetrics)
DOI FAQ/checklist at: http://ands.org.au/cite-data/doi-q-and-a.html
Do we have a data description (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?
