Publishing and Citing – and the role of persistent identifiersThe impact of ODIN

Sünje Dallmeier-TiessenAmsterdam, September 2014

Publishing

Good news

Since the beginning of ODIN data publishing developed:• New data repositories, data journals, data articles and

data reviews emerge• Many initiatives tackling the article-data link• Standards for data publishing emerge• Principles for data citation are endorsed

Roles and responsibilities

of persistent identifiers are

central

It is interesting to see the DOI development: 1.5 years ago we could not find a DOI for our not so conventional dataset, now

we have several offers

BUT THERE ARE CHALLENGES AHEAD OF US:

A concrete example from a HEP researcher

Who benefited from the ODIN Project

A collaborative discovery: Higgs

Research data on our community plattform

Counting reuse: citations to data

Challenges

• Difficult to track what is out there across disciplinary boundaries• Researchers miss out what has been done with their

objects• Others cannot discover what has been shared easily• Difficult to incentivize Open Science practices

We need better discoverability tools for data, i.e. trained for PIDs

We need to track research objects and their reuse

Research objects: Citable code snippets

More and more examples

Who gets the credit for sharing data?

ODIN – result:

Push your publications from community portal to ORCID

Display your “external” publications in community portal

Challenges

• No way to attribute a

research object to a researcher

unambiguously in most communities• Need to make data publishing and data citation count• We can revise assessment and metrics if we better

integrate cross disciplinary services

However, we need• better interoperability with community IDs• more ORCID integrations in funders/CRIS systems• support for integrators to overcome technical or admin

hurdles, enable 3rd party services to build upon• train users/researchers how to do data citation…

Persistent Identifier for Open Access and Open Data

To make Open Science “a reality” it needs the tools to incentivize it:

Make data a “first class citizen” • As a citable object• Attributable to the right person

Considerations must include the new diversity of the data publishing landscape
