Publishing Data and Data Citations: Meeting Disparate Needs of Researchers, Repositories and Publishers
Publishing Data and Data Citations: Meeting Disparate Needs of Researchers, Repositories and Publishers
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session Description:
Recent national and international policies on open data and research results and the increase of similar policies from research funders and publishers have motivated the Earth Science community to enable data publishing through unique identifiers. In response, data repositories are minting unique identifiers such as a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) as part of their preservation services to enable data citations. However, publishers are keenly focused on uniquely identifying the data used to create the tables and figures within the publication, not necessarily the entire data record in its original form. These divergent needs lead to the question, “What does it mean to publish data?”. This session solicits presentations from Academia, Funders, Data Repositories and Data Publishing organizations to understand their perspectives on the ambiguous definition of “data publishing” and how they are meeting this new requirement for unique identifiers and data citations.
