UKDS.Stat: Tracking citation
Back in 2010 the international team at the UK Data Service began making data citation information available for download with international data. This data citation information included Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) minted via DataCite UK at the British Library. and letters which provide a means of persistently identifying an object on china rcs data a digital network – thereby allowing subsequent researchers to find the identical data used in that research. So, for example, if an interested researcher found a chart which cited IMF Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS) with a DOI – ‘10.5257/imf/dots/2015-11’, they would simply use a DOI resolver ) to take them to a web page (aka landing page) which would provide information about how to access the IMF DOTS at the UK Data Service.
Over the last 5 years, many researchers have citied the data using the UK Data Service DOI information and we’re now able to start tracking the usage of the international data we provide access to in a new feature in UKDS.Stat. We’re in the process of embedding a link – ‘See articles on Google Scholar citing this dataset’ into the metadata of each of the datasets made available via UKDS.Stat.
