This document discusses citation and publication of data from various marine research organizations. It provides links to sites hosting Irish marine data and research on data infrastructure. It addresses issues like making data openly accessible, ensuring catalogue entries are citable, and having organizational policies for persistent storage. The document asks for questions and lists upcoming workshops to further discuss working with marine research data.
9. • Openly accessible landing pages
• Specific fields in the catalogue entries
• Catalogue entries themselves are not citable
• Organisational policy on persistence of data
• Who do we have authority to issue DOIs for?
10. “Well managed high quality Irish marine data
from the Marine Institute and partner organisations
will underpin the sustainable development
of Ireland’s marine resource”
11. Any Questions?

Focus of next month’s seminar
Probably something you’ll recognise if you’ve ever used Wikipedia!
How do we track data use?
How do we ensure our research is reproducible?
How do we / you gain (academic) credit for creating and releasing datasets?
In order to have a citation, there needs to be a publication – so how do we publish data
IODE Manual and Guide 64
Result of multiyear project
Coordination between SCOR / IODE / MBL-WHOI Library
All the technical info we require
Recommends the use of DOIs (as per journal articles); Click for DOI example
What is a DOI? Re-point a DOI – Preservation. Theoretically permanent; reality 10+ years…
openly available catalogue entries describing the data, which the DOI points to; data formats for download
What’s different to what we’re doing now?
We’re currently “serving” data, through (e.g.) ERDDAP
Data Publication is about reproducibility – snapshots of data or other guarantees that the data can be rebuilt as at citation time
Not in the DOI spec – but is in the social expectation which has grown up around that spec – wouldn’t expect a journal paper to change after citation
CSO model – growing data is OK, altering any of the “historic data” requires a new publication
DOI connects your publications (not just data papers) to your data
Mandate from publishers (e.g. PLoS; Nature)
Reproducibility is dealt with
But what about other researchers connecting to your data?
They can cite the DOI and the reference, as they can with your publications
But what about credit?
Thomson-Reuters citation index – adds normal citation metrics (number citations, h-index, i10-index etc…)
Best way of ensuring it matches is to use an ORCiD in papers - & then MI can use your ORCiD in data publication
Other considerations:
H2020 research data pilot – open access to data – you need credit
DPER’s Open Data policy – also needs mechanisms for our researchers to give credit
MI OA mandate/policy – and possible forthcoming publications policy…
Technical requirements for data publication within the MI
Fields: Title, Creator / Author, DOI, Publication Year, Publisher (MI), Resource type
Records in Datacite (DOI provider) are CC-By-0 – i.e. the metadata in DataCite are not citable
Organisational policy on persistence of data needs to be put in place – data strategy TWG etc…
DOIs with authority – i.e. we shouldn’t be issuing DOIs for third-parties
Data strategy…
Thanks – questions and dates for the diary
Adverts for these will be out soon (including confirmation of the dates…)
