Study about Research Data Citation Based on DCI (Data Citation Index)

Analyzing data citation practices according to the Data Citation Index

We present an analysis on data citation practices based on the Data Citation Index from Thomson Reuters. This database launched in 2012 aims to link data sets and data studies with citations received from the rest of their citation indexes. Funding bodies and research organizations are increasingly demanding the need of researchers to make their scientific data available in a reusable and repro...

Valuing Indirect Citations in Citation Networks using Data Fusion

Any scientific activity requires awareness of previous related activities. Citation networks are the networks in which each document is compared as a link of a chain with its previous and next documents, and the documents with the highest number of citations are considered as the most effective ones in a domain. Most of the introduced methods use direct citations for valuing the documents. One ...

Citation data analysis on hydrogeology

This article explores the status of research in hydrogeol-ogy using data mining techniques. First we try to explain what citation analysis is and review some of the previous work on citation analysis. The main idea in this article is to address some common issues about citation numbers and the use of these data. To validate the use of citation numbers, we compare the citation patterns for Water...

Dynamic Data Citation

Being able to reliably and efficiently cite entire or subsets of data in large and dynamically growing or changing datasets constitutes a significant challenge for a range of research domains. Current approaches rely on pointers to entire data collections or on explicit copies of data. They do not scale with large quantities of data. Hence a new method is required that enables to create, refere...
