A Practical Approach to Data Citation: The Special Interest Group on Data Citation and Development of the Quick Guide to Data Citation

Analyzing data citation practices according to the Data Citation Index

We present an analysis on data citation practices based on the Data Citation Index from Thomson Reuters. This database launched in 2012 aims to link data sets and data studies with citations received from the rest of their citation indexes. Funding bodies and research organizations are increasingly demanding the need of researchers to make their scientific data available in a reusable and repro...

"Data Citation is Coming". Introduction to the Special Issue on Data Citation

This is the introduction to the special issue on data citation of the Bulletin of IEEE Technical Committee on Digital Libraries. In this introduction we state the “lay of the land” of research on data citation, we discuss some open issues and possible research directions and present the main contributions provided by the papers of the special issue.

Valuing Indirect Citations in Citation Networks using Data Fusion

Any scientific activity requires awareness of previous related activities. Citation networks are the networks in which each document is compared as a link of a chain with its previous and next documents, and the documents with the highest number of citations are considered as the most effective ones in a domain. Most of the introduced methods use direct citations for valuing the documents. One ...

Fitting a graph to vector data Citation

We introduce a measure of how well a combinatorial graph fits a collection of vectors. The optimal graphs under this measure may be computed by solving convex quadratic programs and have many interesting properties. For vectors in d dimensional space, the graphs always have average degree at most 2(d+1), and for vectors in 2 dimensions they are always planar. We compute these graphs for many st...
