I would like to see data citation as one of the outputs included under
Assessment Metrics:
Question 18:
Do you agree with the proposal for using quantitative data to inform the
assessment of outputs, where considered appropriate for the discipline?
If you agree, have you any suggestions for data that could be provided
to
the panels at output and aggregate level?
i.e. rewarding those that make data that is re-used, rather than merely
re-usable.
Cheers
Neil
