摘要:Joe Hourclé, from the NASA Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC), moderated the data citation panel and provided the first presentation. Many institutions across academic disciplines are promoting data citations. As this term suggests, a data citation is a citation included in a reference list of a published article that formally cites data that led to a given research result. In his panel introduction, Joe noted that data users who write research papers currently cite data use in a variety of ways, including 1) acknowledging data providers in the body text or in the acknowledgements section of a paper; 2) citing papers that describe the data collection instruments; 3) citing papers that describe the data and provide findings; and 4) citing the actual data themselves. Formal data citations (#4 in the above list) are becoming more common, but are still more the exception than the rule.
