  1. NOAA Data Citation Procedural Directive 8 November 2012 DAARWG

  2. Outline • Background and Rationale for Citation • Scope of PD • Dataset Identifiers • Dataset Citation Guidelines • Implementation

  3. Background and Rationale • Data citation involves: • assigning unique, persistent identifiers to datasets and • citing datasets when they are used • Growing support and use: • Professional societies (AGU, AMS), • Research institutions (WHOI), • Distributed communities (ESIP) and • Federal entities (NSIDC, ORNL) • Leveraging existing guidelines and efforts • ESIP, ORNL, NCAR / UCP

  4. Background and Rationale • Uses of Data Citation • Provide credit to data creators, authors, and stewards • Ensure transparency accountability • Aid in tracking the impact of data • Help data authors understand how their data are being used • Aid scientific reproducibility

  5. Scope • Applicable Datasets • All publicly-accessible NOAA datasets • Initial focus initially on new, frequently-used, or highly significant • Intended to gradually extend to all of NOAA's public archival datasets • Personnel Roles and Responsibilities for • NOAA data producers • NOAA National Data Centers • Other NOAA data stewards • NOAA and non-NOAA users of NOAA data • NOAA users of non-NOAA data • EDMC

  6. Dataset Identifiers • Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) • Persistent and resolvable • Common in peer-reviewed literature, increasing use in datasets • Obtaining a DOI • NOAA obtains authority to issue DOIs • Either through Calif. Digital Library or DOE • Both are members of DataCite (http://datacite.org/) • NOAA National Data Centerissues DOIs for datasets submitted • and maintains associated "landing page"

  7. Dataset Identifiers • Landing Page • Information about and a direct link to the dataset • Metadata (machine and human readable formats) • Dataset citation recommendation .   • Resources  closely associated with the dataset (collection –level information, funding agencies, publications) • Granularity • Application Specific • Will the granularity support a reasonably accurate starting point for subsequent research? • What do you want users to cite? • What do you want to get citation metrics on? • How do you manage resources internally?

  8. Dataset Citation Guidelines • Mandatory Content • Author • Release Date • Title • Archive and/or Distributor • Version / Most-recent Update • Distribution Medium, Locator or  Identifier • Access Date • Suggested Content • Subset Used • Editor, Compiler, or other important role • Archive or Distributor Place • Distributor, Associate Archive, or other Institutional Role • Data Within a Larger Work Provide data provider vetted example on landing page

  9. Implementation Roles and Responsibilities • NOAA data producers: • assign identifiers, help develop landing page • NOAA National Data Centers: • distribute identifiers; ensure long-term availability of landing page • Other NOAA data stewards: • assign identifiers to data they steward, direct data to NOAA archival Data Centers, help develop landing page • NOAA users of NOAA data: • cite datasets in used in projects and results. Inform stewards of datasets without identifiers about this PD • Non-NOAA users of NOAA data (recommended): • cite NOAA data as described in this PD. Inform stewards of NOAA datasets without identifiers about this PD • NOAA users of non-NOAA data (to the extent possible): • cite external datasets in a manner similar to NOAA datasets, including identifier if available • EDMC: • support implementation, tracking and maintenance of this PD • DOIs assigned upon public release, can be 'reserved' to track pre-release datasets

  10. Summary • Data citation: • is increasing • will play an important role in assessing the impact of research • will elevate awareness for the value of data stewardship • This PD directs NOAA's: • roles and responsibilities • application of DOIs • citation recommendations • builds upon current data citation guidelines
