Kyle,<br><br>Are your students archiving these in repositories that will issue a doi for the citation information? (Merritt, Dryad if they correspond to already 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>Mons, B., Haagen, H. van, Chichester, C., Hoen, P.-B. ’T, Dunnen, J. T. den, Ommen, G. van, et al. (2011). The value of data. Nature genetics, 43(4), 281-3. Nature Publishing Group. doi: 10.1038/ng0411-281.<br>

At the ORNL DAAC we have been providing recommended citations for our published data sets since the early 2000s. These citations are appearing in papers that use the data publication. Citing data products gives the 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 congratulating them on their publication and encouraging them to place the citation data pub on their cv.<br>
<br>
Many journals will allow data product citations to appear in the references section of papers.<br>
<br>
We are working with the Web of Knowledge to place these data pubs into their indexing service, so that authors can view both their publications and their data products. Plus they can readily see who has used their data in 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>
<br>
Best,<br>
