Dear Colleague:
The U.S. CODATA and the Board on Research Data and Information
(BRDI) is pleased to announce the publication of a new
report: Out of Cite, Out of Mind: The Current State of
Practice, Policy, and Technology for the Citation of Data .
The report was authored by the CODATA-ICSTI Task Group on Data
Citation Standards and Practices and edited by Yvonne M. Socha. The
project was directed by the staff of the US CODATA/BRDI.
The report discusses the current state of data citation policies
and practices, its supporting infrastructure, a set of guiding
principles for implementing data citation, challenges to
implementation of good data citation practices, and open research
questions. This is the second report on data citation issues that has
been published by the collaboration of the CODATA-ICSTI Task Group and
the US CODATA/BRDI. The first report, For Attribution-Developing
Data Attribution and Citation Practices and Standards (2012),
is freely and openly available from the National Academies Press
online at: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13564.
We are especially grateful to the volunteers who participated in the
CODATA-ICSTI Task Group and the reviewers of the report, as well to
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, CODATA, and Microsoft Research for
their financial support of this activity.
Questions or comments about the report and the project are
welcome and may be directed to my attention at puhlir@nas.edu . Please feel free to
pass this information along to others who may be interested.
(Apologies for cross-posting).
Sincerely yours,
Paul F. Uhlir
