Nordic Workshop on Data Citation Policies and Practices: How to Make it Happen? ATT Forum Workshop 23.11.2016 Pekka Orponen Finnish Committee on Research Data 23.11.2016

The Finnish Committee for Research Data (1/2) Background: The Council of Finnish Academies (suom. Tiedeakatemiain neuvottelukunta, TANK) hosts a network of 35 national committees, which represent their respective fields of science in international scientific organisations The national committees in particular provide the Finnish representation of their areas in the context of the International Council for Science (ICSU) The Finnish Committee for Research Data (suom. Data-asiain kansalliskomitea) was established by TANK in June 2015 Within ICSU, research data issues are coordinated by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA), and FCRD represents Finland at CODATA 23.11.2016 Nordic Data Citation Workshop

The Finnish Committee for Research Data (2/2) FCRD purpose: "to promote the principles of open data and open science in Finland, and to advance the effective use of research data and good practices in its management" FCRD members: Pekka Orponen (Professor, Aalto University), chair 2015-2017 Kirsi Vainio-Korhonen (Professor, University of Turku), vice-chair Leif Laaksonen (Director, CSC – IT Center for Science) Petri Myllymäki (Professor, University of Helsinki, and Director, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT) Jussi Nuorteva (Director General, National Archives of Finland) Sanna Sorvari (Research Manager, Finnish Meteorological Institute) FCRD secretary: Heidi Laine (M.Soc.Sc., Economic and Social History) 23.11.2016 Nordic Data Citation Workshop

Purpose of the Present Event To increase awareness about the concept of data citation and the emerging ecosystems supporting it, and discuss the concrete actions needed to make data citations a part of everyday research practice in Finland and the other Nordic countries 23.11.2016 Nordic Data Citation Workshop

What is Data Citation and Why is it Important? To make the application of open research data an integral part of everyday research practice, data sets must be citable, similarly as research publications are now A data citation is simply “a reference to data for the purpose of credit attribution and facilitation of access to the data”1 Data citations are important, because they: facilitate the reuse of open research data provide mechanisms of credit and attribution for contributors to data enhance the verifiability and reproducibility of data-intensive research promote good data management practices 1CODATA/ITSCI Task Force on Data Citation, 2013. “Out of cite, out of mind: The Current State of Practice, Policy and Technology for Data Citation”. Data Science Journal 12: 1-75 23.11.2016 Nordic Data Citation Workshop

What are the challenges? Developing a well-functioning data citation culture requires a significant amount of development, coordination and training in e.g.: Data infrastructures (well-established and easy to use repositories, persistent storage, version control) Access mechanisms (persistent identifiers, PID resolution) Metadata standards Data publication opportunities Data quality metrics and academic reward systems Academic research data management and citation culture Instituting the requisite changes involves a large number of stakeholders: infrastructure providers, libraries, publishers, funding agencies, policy-makers, researchers,… 23.11.2016 Nordic Data Citation Workshop

Objectives of the Present Event To become familiar with the concept of data citation, its significance for open science, and the technical, political and cultural developments needed to make data citations an everyday research practice To be informed of the international state of the art in the development of data citation policies and practices Assess the Finnish and Nordic level of preparedness in the international context Discuss the actions needed by different stakeholders to advance the Finnish and Nordic competences in this area 23.11.2016 Nordic Data Citation Workshop
