Be aware that until the end of last year it was still that citation counts of Data Citation Index were based upon citations gathered by data repositories itself where available and not upon citations from the literature! I'm not sure about the current state of affairs but I do not expect this to be changed. See for example this paper: “Analyzing data citation practices using the Data Citation Index” by Nicolas Robinson-Garcia et al (published in Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 67(2016), p. 2964–2975, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.23529<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__dx.doi.org_10.1002_asi.23529&d=CwMFAg&c=4ZIZThykDLcoWk-GVjSLm9hvvvzvGv0FLoWSRuCSs5Q&r=G5ACETGf-i_erQzH7w3JMZSz400RteY0MpoiqkFMlupyxwLFUxzDAF8tEHf4Uopi&m=fyFIASTXBMkZxY2QO7P91cCj2C8ZXZz80-9OlsGXi5w&s=Kf6uh276Wb9DiZNX_KiC8xIiWPlo8-mh56tk6lzzoKQ&e=>). On p. 2966-2967 it’s said: “Currently, the DCI relies on the information provided by the data repository regarding publications in which the data set or data study was cited. In Figure 1 we show an example of how this link is performed. As observed, the citing paper does not “cite” the data study but mentions it. The citation is included in the record extracted from the repository where the data study is deposited. Hence, the citations are provided by the repositories themselves.” Kind regards, Leon Osinski From: Research Data Management discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nick Sheppard Sent: maandag 24 april 2017 16:33 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Citations from published research data? Hi Hardy I’ve also been wondering about tracking citations; this dataset in Dryad* - http://datadryad.org/resource/doi:10.5061/dryad.234 - is heavily downloaded and I’ve found it cited by doi in ≈ 10 papers in the White Rose Research Archive…but when I put it into WoS Data Citation Index<http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/multidisciplinary/dci/> it came up with just a single citation from the original paper - http://doi.org/10.1111/j.1461-0248.2009.01285.x (which according to Scopus has itself been cited by 695 documents<https://www.scopus.com/results/citedbyresults.uri?sort=plf-f&cite=2-s2.0-62149108514&src=s&imp=t&sid=7CF49F81A4FC7BD1480D57336C66DA34.wsnAw8kcdt7IPYLO0V48gA%3a140&sot=cite&sdt=a&sl=0&origin=recordpage&editSaveSearch=&txGid=7CF49F81A4FC7BD1480D57336C66DA34.wsnAw8kcdt7IPYLO0V48gA%3a14> – up from 676 when I last looked on 22/03/2017!). I’ve also started looking at altmetric scores for data sets (see https://blog.library.leeds.ac.uk/blog/roadmap/post/509) sourcing dois from IRUSdata to run against the altmetric api. Haven’t got very far yet but if you input some dois into the Lancaster tab on the Google sheet below (currently with just the dryad doi above) and drag the formula in column B it should generate scores for you (if there are any!) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H9tpR_4qvNK0m5-_3RDF-O4ZRCy9LRecWQquqQPMYXA/edit?usp=sharing Instructions how this works at http://ukcorr.org/2015/06/12/ranking-altmetrics-diy/ N.B. If you have records with a score, in order to generate the donut you can to use the code here https://api.altmetric.com/embeds.html * This is the altmetric (twitter) page for the Dryad dataset above - https://www.altmetric.com/details/839739/twitter Nick From: Research Data Management discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Schwamm, Hardy Sent: 24 April 2017 15:03 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Citations from published research data? Thanks David! That makes searching a bit quicker! The problem with this is that they seem to be all the papers that are written using our Lancaster DOIs (so by Lancaster authors who put the DOI in their Acknowledgments or References) and not by other papers citing our DOIs. But there is no quick way of establishing that I suppose. The same I think applies to the Scopus hits (Thanks Stephen!). They are “self-referencing” citations by the original authors. I suspect Scopus picks them up if they are in the Reference section (and not from Acknowledgments or Data Availability Statements).

Hi Hardy If you wanted to search Google Scholar for citations of material in your data repository by DOI, you could do it like this: https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=dx.doi.org%2F10.17635%2Flancaster%2Fresearchdata%2F&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 (to search anything that looks like an url you need to remove the protocol string from the front) The usual caveats apply to such searches, but I’m seeing about 48 papers that include text containing the string dx.doi.org/10.17635/lancaster/researchdata/ David - David Kernohan Jisc From: Research Data Management discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Schwamm, Hardy Sent: 24 April 2017 14:15 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Citations from published research data? Dear all, Here at Lancaster University, we have currently 145 datasets in our Research Directory<http://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/datasets/search.html>. A few months ago we tried to find out if any of our datasets were being cited by others. We did this manually by searching for the DOI in Google Scholar (the method was recommended by Rachel from the BL). At the time, none of our datasets seemed to get any citations. • We wonder if any of you have done a similar exercise? • If so, could you let us know what method you used to find out about the citations? We are interested in data citations in the context of “carrots” for research data sharing. While we know of studies that prove a citation advantage of papers where the underlying data is available we are unsure about actual citations for datasets.
