3 ANDS Purpose: To make Australia’s research data assets more valuable for its researchers, research institutions and the nation.
ANDS enables transformation of: Data that are: Unmanaged Disconnected Invisible Single use To Structured Collections that are: Managed Connected Findable Reusable so that Australian researchers can easily publish, discover, access and use/re-use research data. 4

Data Journals About Scientific Data “ Scientific Data is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication for descriptions of scientifically valuable datasets.” Scientific Data primarily publishes: “Data Descriptors, a new type of scientific publication designed to promote an in-depth understanding of research datasets”. 7

20 DOIs for data: how to cite Woodrow, Ross Laughren, Patrick ( 2011 ): Queensland Films : from Talkies to Television. Griffith Film School, Griffith University.
21 Digital Object Identifiers – the basics Globally unique identifier; Easy and persistent access to research data (and other resource types); DOIs are “minted” and are “resolvable”; Minting implies a long term commitment to maintain the resource; DOIs support automated tracking of reuse aka data citation metrics.
22 DOIs and ANDS DOI Styles doi: /PANGAEA /13/50BBFCFE08A ANDS Cite My Data Service -> DataCite registration agency Minimum set of metadata required to mint a DOI Identifier, Creator, Title, Publisher, Publication Year ANDS DOIs are for research data, software, workflows

25 The citation benefit intensified over time... ...with publications from 2004 and 2005 cited 30 per cent more often if their data was freely available. Every 100 papers with open data prompted 150 "data reuse papers" within five years Original authors tended to use their data for only two years, but others re-used it for up to six years.

30 To summarise … » Data citation is becoming accepted scholarly practice » Traditional journals are embracing data citation; Many new journals assume data citation » Research funding will have more emphasis on data access + reuse = citation » Scholarly metrics will eventually include citations to data » altmetrics will become more important: reach and impact & early identification of seminal datasets » DOIs – best practice for persistent access to data products

5. HOW TO ENHANCE DATA DISCOVERY 32
Do we have a data description (metadata) catalogue? Do we have a store of publicly available data? Do our researchers regularly archive data? Are our researchers interested in data citation? Do our policy makers support data citation? Are our datasets stable? Do we have access to a developer to implement the tools?

Richard is the VU-ANDS Outreach person ANDS works with 40 Institutions rather than 100,000 researchers, so our main VU contacts are: Lyle in the Research Office, Adrian and Julie in the Library. 36
