The repository we use is one I have built on Drupal for our field station:<br>

<br>
Thanks to work done by the LTER, I am able to provide metadata in an EML compliant format and, at some point in the future, I will leverage this to facilitate data contribution to a third party. I am aware of several such options but have not begun the process of evaluating them.<br>
<br>
This means that I cannot offer a formal persistent identifier which is hardly ideal and one of the reasons I hesitate to tell students to place citations on their CV's.<br>

Are your students archiving these in repositories that will issue a doi for<br>
the citation information? (Merritt, Dryad if they correspond to already<br>
published work, etc)?<br>
<br>
<br>
Here's a few more refs that have argued for this, some quite extensively.<br>
<br>
This whole piece is essentially an argument for data citation:<br>

10.1038/461168a.<br>
"another would be to track the usage and citation of data sets using<br>
electronic systems similar to those used for traditional publications"<br>
..<br>
who cite this in support:<br>

"Providing a secure but flexible cyberinfrastructure while promulgating<br>
best practices such as data citation and metadata reuse, will help build<br>
confidence in data sharing"<br>
<br>
<br>
Rod discusses data citation quite a bit here:<br>
?Page, R. D. M. (2010). Enhanced display of scientific articles using<br>
extended metadata. Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World<br>
Wide Web, 8(2-3), 190-195. doi: 10.1016/j.websem.2010.03.004.<br>

"By ensuring that data remain curated at the source, and by showing the<br>
importance of data sharing to promote data citation and usage, we have grown<br>
past our original technology implementation and are ready to move into a<br>
long-term production environment that departs from the original model."<br>
<br>
<br>
These three make mention of data citation, mostly in reference to increased<br>
citation rates of papers.<br>

At the ORNL DAAC we have been providing recommended citations for our<br>
published data sets since the early 2000s. These citations are appearing in<br>
papers that use the data publication. Citing data products gives the<br>
authors credit for the intellectual effort in generating the data set.<br>
<br>
Please refer to the attached note for additional information.<br>
<br>
When we publish these data products, I send a note to each author<br>
congratulating them on their publication and encouraging them to place the<br>
citation data pub on their cv.<br>
<br>
Many journals will allow data product citations to appear in the references<br>
section of papers.<br>
<br>
We are working with the Web of Knowledge to place these data pubs into<br>
their indexing service, so that authors can view both their publications and<br>
their data products. Plus they can readily see who has used their data in<br>
subsequent publications.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

Subject: [ecoinfo] Citation norms for datasets<br>
<br>
Hello Colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am working with graduate students this summer to archive their work<br>
at our field station. I want to tell them to cite their datasets on<br>
their CV's but I know this is not yet the norm.<br>
<br>
Any general thoughts on how close we are to including datasets on<br>
CV's? Can you suggest recent papers that argue (decisively) for this<br>
practice? Here are two relevant but slightly tangential examples:<br>
<br>
Reichman, O. J., M. B. Jones, and M. P. Schildhauer. 2011. "Challenges<br>
and Opportunities of Open Data in Ecology." Science 331 (6018)<br>
(February): 703-705. doi:10.1126/science.1197962.<br>
<br>
Vision, Todd J. 2010. "Open Data and the Social Contract of Scientific<br>
Publishing." BioScience 60 (5) (May): 330-331.<br>
doi:10.1525/bio.2010.60.5.2.<br>

Best,<br>
