4. Why data citation with DOI’s
is important
• Recognisable id in science
• Authoritave data claim
• Persistent link to data
• Makes data discoverable

5. Data citation: example 1

6. Data citation: example 2
Yang, S., Lui, K., Mayo, S., Tullon,
A. (2012) CIPS Sandstone
Microstructure. CSIRO Data
Collection.

7. Data citation: example 3

9. What is a DOI ?
• What you see: alphanumeric string (never
changes)
• Associated with: location (such as URL)
• Accompanied with: who, what, when…
(metadata)

10. • Stable linking
– Data can move, without breaking the link
Benefits of a DOI

11. Example DOI
• String: 10.4121/uuid:57acdc8d-5c86-478a-9ada-
8c075cc30b0a
• Html version: http://dx.doi.org/10.4121/uuid:57acdc8d-
5c86-478a-9ada-8c075cc30b0a
• Location: http://data.3tu.nl/repository/uuid:57acdc8d-
5c86-478a-9ada-8c075cc30b0a
• Metadata
– Creator: Westhoff, M.C.(Martijn)
– Title: High resolution temperature observations to identify
different runoff processes
– Publisher: TU Delft
– Publication year: 2011

12. DataCite
• Growing demand to make data citable.
• DataCite is an international consortium whose aims
are:
– to establish easier access to research data on the internet
– to increase acceptance of research data as legitimate,
citable contributions to the scholarly record
– to support data archiving that will permit results to be
verified and re-purposed for future study.
• Development of standards, workflows, and best
practices.
• 2013: 18 members from 13 countries, 9 associated
members, ~2.2 Million DOIs

13. What is the value of a data
set with a DOI?
• Datasets with a DOI have to be:
• Stable (i.e. not going to be modified)
• Complete (i.e. not going to be updated)
• Permanent – by assigning a DOI we’re
committing to make the dataset available
for posterity
• Good quality – by assigning a DOI we’re
giving it our data centre stamp of approval,
saying that it’s complete and all the
metadata is available

14. Assignment:
Find a paper using its DOI
• doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(08)61345-8

15. Resolving DOI’s
• Open the following DOI site in your browser:
http://dx.doi.org
• Enter the entire DOI citation in the text box
provided, and then click Go.
• The document that matches the DOI citation will
display in your browser window.

16. How to get a DOI
• Deposit your datasets with a DOI
enabled data repository, e.g.
3TU.Datacentrum
• Deposit your article/paper or thesis
at a DOI enabled journal publisher or
institutional repository

17. Link your datasets to your
publications

18. How to use DOIs in your
publication for citing your data
• To enhance the visibility and sharing of
your datasets, we strongly recommend you
to include in your article or dissertation the
DOIs you have applied for your datasets.
– Example 1: (at imprint section of the thesis)

19. Data citation usage: Example 2
in References section of the publication

20. Data citation Example 3:
Copy-paste ready in data archive
Copy and paste into your publication

21. Link your dataset to your ORCID
• ORCID and DataCite Interoperability
Network
– http://odin-project.eu/
– http://datacite.labs.orcid-eu.org/
• Link datasets to your ORCID profile
