Subject: Community progress on tools for tracking citations to datasets
Hi Simon,
In case you haven't seen this already, I want to make sure you and JISC are aware of the just-launched open document: A Community Hub<https://docs2.google.com/document/d/1mHYlu3IU3q6RaJfkxyNZQcykYMB-iak4N2Gd3fNgd2Q/edit?hl=en#> for improving tool support for tracking citations to nontraditional products.
As you know, it is not currently possible<http://researchremix.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/tracking-dataset-citations-using-common-citation-tracking-tools-doesnt-work/> to track citations to datasets through Scopus and ISI Web of Science, even if the datasets have DOIs or other recognized identifiers. The purpose of this hub is to provide:
* a central meeting ground for the many individuals and organizations interested in this issue
* a living document that captures current unmet needs
* an area to inventory and develop initiatives to encourage vendors to address these issues as soon as possible
The document would certainly benefit from JISC input, since you and your projects are looking at this issue from many angles.
Please check it out<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mHYlu3IU3q6RaJfkxyNZQcykYMB-iak4N2Gd3fNgd2Q/edit?hl=en>, add what you know, suggest some ideas, and send the link around to others who care about this issue so that we can achieve data citation tracking through Scopus and Web of Science ASAP. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Heather
