  2. Life or death?

  3. Speed counts in 2011 May: Outbreak of antibiotic-resistant E. coli in Germany Subsequent race to sequence and analyse the genome 2 June: BGI released the sequence into the public domain on GIGAScience with a DataCite DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/100001 28 June: Rolf Daniel lab publish first analysis of genome in the Archives of Microbiology: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00203-011-0725-6

  4. “On top of the good feeling and positive coverage obtained … these novel forms of pre-publication data release did not prevent the acquisition of more traditional forms of scientific credit – publication in prestigious scientific and medical journals.” BGI blog: lessons from E.coli DOI

  9. What is citation? • A source quoted in an essay, report, or book to clarify, illustrate, or substantiate a point.

  10. Motivations for citing • Garfield identified • Paying homage • Giving credit • Identifying methodology • Background reading • Correcting own work • Correcting other’s work • Criticising previous work • Alerting re: forthcoming work • Providing leads • Authenticating data • Identifying the original paper • Arguing with others • Disputing the work of others • +more… Garfield, E. (1996) When to cite. Library Quarterly, 66 (4): 449-458

  11. Motivations for citing cont’d • Small gave a smaller list • Refuted (negative) • Noted only (perfunctory) • Reviewed (compared) • Applied (used) • Supported (substantiated) Small, H.G. (1982) Citation context and citation analysis. In Dervin, B., Voight, M. (Eds), Progress in Communication Sciences. Norwood, NJ.

  12. The benefits of citing data • Check facts • Obtain easier access to data • Enable re-use of data • Provide acknowledgement to a wider group – the data centre, curators etc. • Support openness and transparency Reich NG, Perl TM, Cummings DAT, Lessler J (2011) Visualizing Clinical Evidence: Citation Networks for the Incubation Periods of Respiratory Viral Infections. PLoS ONE 6(4): e19496. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0019496

  13. Data(Cite) to the rescue?
