[ecoinfo] Citation norms for datasets

[Kyle Kwaiser]

Hello Colleagues,

I am working with graduate students this summer to archive their work  
at our field station.  I want to tell them to cite their datasets on  
their CV's but I know this is not yet the norm.

Any general thoughts on how close we are to including datasets on  
CV's?  Can you suggest recent papers that argue (decisively) for this  
practice?  Here are two relevant but slightly tangential examples:

Reichman, O. J., M. B. Jones, and M. P. Schildhauer. 2011. “Challenges  
and Opportunities of Open Data in Ecology.” Science 331 (6018)  
(February): 703-705. doi:10.1126/science.1197962.

Vision, Todd J. 2010. “Open Data and the Social Contract of Scientific  
Publishing.” BioScience 60 (5) (May): 330-331.  
doi:10.1525/bio.2010.60.5.2.

Best,

Kyle
