Start where discovery begins.
The Data Citation Index supports data discovery, reuse and interpretation that benefits everyone involved in the research lifecycle.
Researchers can:
- Maximize your research efforts with access to the most influential repositories, data sets and studies from a single destination
- Speed the time to discovery by building upon previous, quality digital research
- Understand data in context through summary information connected to the work it informed
- Track the use and importance of research data across multiple disciplines
- Get a complete view of scholarly research output
- Support proper attribution to data research through standard citation format
Librarians can:
- Provide your researchers with a single resource for a complete view of scholarly output
- Be confident that researchers have easy access to relevant data to enhance and expedite research
- Expose the total impact of research output at your institution, beyond published content
- As data citation practices becomes standardized, provide your researchers with a more consistent and visible means of gaining attribution to their work
- Help your researchers build data management plans by pointing to repositories that will expose their work
Funding Organizations can:
- Increase the visibility of the important research your funding dollars enabled
- Ensure the data you supported is discoverable to other researchers around the world
- Search current available data and what research it has informed to prevent “double funding” and support iterative analysis
