Seeking informal reaction panel members at IASSIST 2013
Mooney, Hailey
Hello IASSIST SIGDCers,
The IASSIST SIGDC is pleased to be sponsoring a session in Cologne of invited speakers. We are looking for 3-4 members of SIGDC to join the session as an “informal reaction panel.” By information reaction panel, we mean that you would commit to attending the session and contributing your comments/questions to the discussion after the speakers have presented. You will be able to review a working draft of the panelists’ presentations one week prior to the conference in order to provide plenty of time to contemplate thought-provoking comments/questions.
If you are interested in being a part of the informal reaction panel please reply directly to moo...@msu.edu by March 29th.
Here is some information about the session:
IASSIST 2013, Cologne, Germany
Session A-4: "(Proof of Concept) Data Citations: Linking Literature to Data and Measuring Impact"
Wednesday, May 29, 2013, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
Abstract: This session addresses data citations within the context of promoting accessibility and tracking re-use. The ability of data citations to measure
re-use by identifying the related literature promises to increase the accessibility and visibility of research data outputs. Citation standards continue to evolve as the scholarly research community moves toward greater levels of data sharing. How are we moving
forward to a goal of linking literature to data and measuring impact in the current environment?
Nigel Robinson from Thomson Reuters will discuss the Data Citation Index (DCI), including the philosophical motivation for its development and the role of the DCI in promoting metadata
and citation standardization, as well as challenges involved in harmonizing metadata from source repositories across the sciences and social sciences.
Katarina Boland and Brigitte Mathiak from Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (GESIS) will share their efforts to create an algorithm to identify dataset references in the published
literature in the current environment where such references lack standardization.
Marion Wittenberg and Maarten Hoogerwerf from Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) will discuss work on the NARCIS portal which links publications, research information, and
data together as part of the Enhanced Publications projects."
Thank you,
