Replication Data for

[Leif Longva]

Hi, I would like to hear what is common in various Dataverse archives, for datasets that are basis for publications. Do you use the dataverse default prefix of 'Replication Data for:' in the dataset title, followed by the title of the actual publication? Or do you use something else as a suggested title prefix?

And what do submitting users choose - 'Replication Data for' or something else (like 'Supporting Data for', 'Background Data for' ...)?

(And in my understanding, using the same data to rerun an analysis is to 'reproduce' an analysis, not to 'replicate' it (?) )

And then: What if the dataset is basis for more than one article? Or what if a publication is based on two or more datasets - two datasets cannot have identical titles.

Do we at all need such a prefix? 'Related publication' metadata is where the link to publications should be stated.

Thanks you for comments on this.

Yours,

We have changed 'Replication Data for...' to 'Supporting Data for...', since that seems much more general.

To my understanding, replication is a very specific and rather uncommon undertaking (maybe with some exceptions in certain disciplines).

And then: What if the dataset is basis for more than one article?

Good question, I've never thought about that. I think I'd leave it up to the researcher - whatever they would find most relevant.

Or what if a publication is based on two or more datasets - two datasets cannot have identical titles.

I think I'd maybe extend the titles to indicate what the individual datasets are about (e.g. "Supporting Data for My Paper - Images" and " "Supporting Data for My Paper - Spreadsheets").

But I don't think that titles have to be unique? Then I would use the subtitle field.

Do we at all need such a prefix?

It seems very intuitive to researchers - articles are still regarded as the main research output and the possibility to publish supporting data is probably the main motivation for many researchers to use repositories.
