About this video
Researchers are increasingly encouraged, or even mandated, to make their research data available, accessible, discoverable and usable.
By citing data within an article, early career researchers will receive credit for openly sharing their research data, which can help to build their reputation within their academic community. And, because the research data is featured in the published article, it becomes an official part of the scholarly record, increasing transparency.
In this webinar recording, we hear from Dr. Timothy Clark, who started the Data Citation Implementation Pilot within Force11 (a community of scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers and research funders focused on supporting improved knowledge creation and sharing). He explains why data citation is important, how data can be made citable and shares best practice examples. Elsevier’s Helena Cousijn then outlines how you can get citing today!
You’ll come away with a clear understanding of the growing importance of data citation and useful information such as how and when to cite.
