Fwd: Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles

[Robin Rice]

Dear SIG DC,

I'm considering asking the admin committee to have IASSIST endorse these
principles and get our logo on their list (to help with our own
exposure). Any objections or discussion before I do?
cheers,
Robin

Dear All,

(Apologies for any cross-posting!)

A “Synthesis Group” of experts and organizations organized in mid-2013
has developed a common set of high-level principles on data citation,
which we collectively recognize is a key missing element of the research
data infrastructure. As one of the leaders in the global research
enterprise, you know that there are many improvements that can and
should be made to make communicating research data more efficient and
effective so that the work developing and sharing research data is
better recognized and rewarded. This is why I am reaching out to you; to
gain your support of these agreed-upon principles.

You will find the “Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles” here:
http://www.force11.org/datacitation, including other background
information. As the preamble to those eight short consensus principles
states, they are not meant as a blueprint for implementation of data
citation policies and practices, but as high-level guidance for your
organization and sector to develop and then implement a data citation
protocol. These principles integrate the emerging consensus of several
different international groups working in the data citation arena. The
principles were broadly reviewed and discussed over the past several
months. The full record of review comments and other supporting
information may also be found at the link above.

If you agree, we strongly encourage you to: (a) add your organization’s
name as a signatory as soon as possible to the principles on the
endorsement page: http://www.force11.org/datacitation/endorsement, and
(b) disseminate them broadly within your circle of contacts, and (c)
begin formulating a formal data citation protocol for use within your
discipline area on an international basis, if that has not yet been
initiated. A Data Citation Implementation Group has been formed to help
with operationalizing the Principles and their activities may be found
here: https://www.force11.org/datacitationimplementation.

Of course, we would be pleased to answer any questions you may have once
you have examined this document. We hope that your research community
will take action in the near term to develop and implement a data
citation protocol that is consistent with the “Joint Declaration on Data
Citation Principles.”

Best wishes,
Sarah

Hi Robin...

Not sure if anyone answered - but I agree and support this!

Good, thanks. I’ve asked for it to be added to the next admin virtual meeting agenda.

Hi everyone,

I just added the CRDCN's endorsement (as well as my own personal endorsement), and look forward to working with StatCan's RDC Program to introduce the idea of data citation (and how it can be done) to every new RDC researcher in their orientation materials.

I think it would be a great idea for IASSIST to add their own endorsement, as well!

Cheers,

Dave.
