Subject: [jats-list] Using JATS to cite research data. From: "Ian Mulvany i.mulvany@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 13:10:10 -0000 |
I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom of this group in preparation for a workshop that I am co-organising in June on data citation. # Introduction and Question How can we best use JATS to cite research data? Does this group have specific examples of data citation that they could share with me, and does anyone have strong opinions about the straw man options that I list at the bottom of this message? # Need Citations to research data is currently coded almost arbitrarily across different publishers, making it hard to machine read data contributions in the literature. # Background We are running a workshop in June at the British Library to propose some best practices for citing research data. This is being done under the umbrella of the FORCE11 Data Citation Implementation group ( - https://www.force11.org/datacitationimplementation), and it will involve a selection of invited participants, mostly representing production departments of STM publishers. Ahead of that meeting I'd like to start this thread as a background discussion to the viability of some of the options the organisers of the meeting are thinking about. Below I list three straw man options that we have been discussing, along with basic pros and cons. # Straw man Options 1 get people to agree on best practice using the existing tag set pros: - nothing new needs to be introduced to JATS cons: - probably makes adoption harder, and the creation of tooling to identify data citations harder, as these tools as overloading existing tags will likely not produce a tag syntax unique to research data 2 extend the JATS tag set to support specific citation of research data pros: - clean start, produces a standard that everyone can move towards, good for creation of downstream tools cons: - extending JATS can take some time, owing to the standardisation process 3 produce an extension to JATS for data citation, along the same lines as http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK47081/ pros: - does not need to wait for extension of JATS to be usable cons: - highly specific extension may face a difficulty in gaining adoption in publishing workflows
