number of citations working?

[Data CUHK]

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if your dataverse is showing the number of citations for datasets in the repository. We have that for our datasets, but the number of citation counts is always 0 for all datasets.. I wonder what the counting mechanism behind the scenes are and if the metrics is actually working. Or it could be that our datasets haven't been cited at all. 

Thanks!

Best regards,

Qinqin

Hi Qinqin,

Hmm, can you please verify your citations outside of Dataverse, by querying the DataCite API directly, using the technique described in the "top 25 cited datasets in your Dataverse installation" thread? Please see https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/Q2PbdEaZjaA/m/vWSiGBtaBQAJ

Thanks!

Phil

Hi Qinqin,

The counting mechanism is described at https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/make-data-count.html. That Make Data Count project generates the views, downloads, and citations counts, and Dataverse gets and displays those metrics on some regular basis.

On dataset pages on the CUHK Research Data Repository at https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk, I see view and download counts, so I'm assuming the repository is getting these Make Data Count metrics.

Whether or not DataCite records citations for datasets depends on how others are citing them and how different systems are describing those "citations" in the metadata they send to DataCite. It's definitely not perfect but groups are working on different ways of detecting citations, to improve citation counts.

Some folks have written about datasets or other research objects that they knew were "cited" in other published research objects, but DataCite wasn't aware of it, so it didn't appear in the Make Data Count database. So they tried to work out why that was, sometimes tracing the problem back to how the system, like another repository, was or wasn't sending that citation metadata to DataCite, or differences among research disciplines about what "cited" means.

Do you know that datasets in CUHK Research Data Repository have been cited? It might be helpful to look into cases like that.

All best,

Julian

From https://api.datacite.org/prefixes/10.48668 I can tell that your client id is "wklx.uftoeh".

Let's run the following:

curl 'https://api.datacite.org/dois/?client-id=wklx.uftoeh&sort=-citation-count' | jq '.data[].attributes | "\(.citationCount) \(.url)"' -r

It claims that you have 5 datasets with 1 citation each:

1 https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk/citation?persistentId=doi:10.48668/E6JEKD
1 https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk/citation?persistentId=doi:10.48668/SK0HF6
1 https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk/citation?persistentId=doi:10.48668/UVVXJH
1 https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk/citation?persistentId=doi:10.48668/0NPBOK
1 https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk/citation?persistentId=doi:10.48668/9AKTCT

However, I just visited each link above all 5 show 0 citations. I'm not sure why. Is Make Data Count set up properly? Or is my curl command wrong? Hmm.

Here's an example of a dataset in Dataverse that has 2 citations: https://data.qdr.syr.edu/citation?persistentId=doi:10.5064/F6NEGI7I

Exciting, right? This is what it's all about! Citing data!

I hope this helps!

I think your curl command is right, Phil. In the JSON at https://api.datacite.org/dois/10.48668/E6JEKD, I see that 1 citation count.

But those viewCounts and downloadCounts are very different than what's on the repository's dataset page at https://researchdata.cuhk.edu.hk/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.48668/E6JEKD, so I'm a bit confused, now 😅

FWIW: The MDC processes to count views/downloads is ~separate from the process to get Citations from MDC, so just seeing MDC downloads doesn’t mean everything is configured. You need to periodically run the updateCitationsForDataset API (i.e. via the counter_weekly.sh script) to see the citations in Dataverse: see https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/make-data-count.html#configuring-your-dataverse-installation-for-make-data-count-citations.

Hi Phil, Julian and Jim,

Thank you so much for your insights! This is really helpful.

I will look into our  updateCitationsForDataset API and see if there is anything that needs to be fixed.. 

Thanks again!

Hi all,

We also have have an issue with citations counts in our DV.  

We know that some datasets do have citations, as per Datasite.  For example, the Datacite API returns that doi:10.60895/redata/JFXCLA has "citationCount": 6

However, when I try to get that figure to our DV, I get an error that does not make sense to me (Datacite IS our DOI provider) 

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/makeDataCount/:persistentId/updateCitationsForDataset?persistentId=doi:10.60895/redata/JFXCLA"
{"status":"ERROR","message":"Only DataCite DOI providers are supported"}

I am double checking the configuration related to Datacite.  In the meantime, any help / suggestion will be appreciated.

Regards

[Philip Durbin]

Hi Federico,

Hmm, https://doi.org/10.60895/redata/JFXCLA does seem to resolve fine as a proper DataCite DOI. And here it is in DataCite Commons: https://commons.datacite.org/doi.org/10.60895/redata/jfxcla

At least for Dataverse 6.8 (I'm not sure what version you're on), here's where the error is thrown: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v6.8/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/MakeDataCountApi.java#L151

Do you have the ability to recompile the war file with some extra logging so we can see what pidProvider.getProviderType() is?

Thanks,

Phil

FWIW: My guess is that you’re seeing a bug in handling lower case shoulders that was fixed in Dataverse 6.5. I don’t know of any work-around for versions <= v6.4.

Hi,

This is Dataverse 6.4.

First, I found the the JVM option dataverse.pid.datacite.type was not set.  I added it with the value "datacite" following the definition of the constant TYPE in 

edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.pidproviders.doi.datacite.DataCiteDOIProvider.java 

public static final String TYPE = "datacite";

It was not enough to avoid the condition in edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.api.MakedataCountAPI.java that return the error

            if(!DataCiteDOIProvider.TYPE.equals(pidProvider.getProviderType())) {
                return error(Status.BAD_REQUEST, "Only DataCite DOI providers are supported");
            }

dataverse@ip-10-0-2-41:~/glassfish$ bin/asadmin list-jvm-options | grep datacite
-Ddataverse.pid.datacite.password=${ALIAS=doi_password_alias}
-Ddataverse.pid.datacite.username=ANII.ANII
-Ddataverse.pid.datacite.mds-api-url=https://mds.datacite.org
-Ddataverse.pid.datacite.rest-api-url=https://api.datacite.org
-Ddataverse.pid.datacite.type=datacite
dataverse@ip-10-0-2-41:~/glassfish$

fyemurenko@ip-10-0-2-41:~$ curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/makeDataCount/:persistentId/updateCitationsForDataset?persistentId=doi:10.60895/redata/JFXCLA"

{"status":"ERROR","message":"Only DataCite DOI providers are supported"}

Then, there is the issue with dataverse software being case sensitive.  

https://redata.anii.org.uy/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.60895/redata/JFXCLA

Returns the required dataset

https://redata.anii.org.uy/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.60895/redata/jfxcla

Returns a 404 Not found page

The same with the API: 

fyemurenko@ip-10-0-2-41:~$ curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/makeDataCount/:persistentId/updateCitationsForDataset?persistentId=doi:10.60895/redata/jfxcla"
{"status":"ERROR","message":"Cuando se accede a un conjunto de datos mediante su ID persistente, debe indicarse un parámetro persistentId."}

fyemurenko@ip-10-0-2-41:~$ curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/makeDataCount/:persistentId/updateCitationsForDataset?persistentId=doi:10.60895/REDATA/JFXCLA"
{"status":"ERROR","message":"Cuando se accede a un conjunto de datos mediante su ID persistente, debe indicarse un parámetro persistentId."}

fyemurenko@ip-10-0-2-41:~$ curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/makeDataCount/:persistentId/updateCitationsForDataset?persistentId=doi:10.60895/redata/JFXCLA"

{"status":"ERROR","message":"Only DataCite DOI providers are supported"}

I undestand that DOIs should not be case sensitive since they are used un URLs

And have a look at this.  When I call datacite API with DOI 10.60895/redata/JFXCLA

https://api.datacite.org/dois/10.60895/redata/JFXCLA

I get the json but with ID in lowercase !!!!!!!!  May be, this is why Dataverse don´t know what to do with this response; this DOI in lowercase don´t belong to this repository

{ "data": { "id": "10.60895/redata/jfxcla", "type": "dois", "attributes": { "doi": "10.60895/redata/jfxcla", "prefix": "10.60895", "suffix": "redata/jfxcla", "identifiers": [], "alternateIdentifiers": [], "creators": [ .............. }

I can also call Datacite API with the DOI in lowercases, to get the same response.  As it should be.

We have at least two issues here, I think.  I will start by upgrading to 6.5 

If it doesn´t work, I will add the traces suggested by Phil

I ´ll let you know then

Regards
