The Global Data Citation Corpus

Abstract

<p>While data sharing has increased over time and citations to those datasets are increasingly created, the disparity of locations where they are stored limits our understanding of data reuse and our ability to assess the impact of open data. To address this challenge, DataCite is developing a Global Data Citation Corpus, a vast, open-access collection of data citations from a variety of sources and disciplines, which will enable the global community to discover and access datasets more easily than ever before. We will outline the technical aspects behind the corpus, our progress to date, and its potential applications in research and beyond. By unlocking the power of data citation, we can promote more open, collaborative and impactful research practices, and facilitate the integration of data into the broader scholarly conversation.</p&gt
