Has anyone taken the #DataCitation Principles of #FORCE11 and set out how to apply them to LLMs?
I'm not talking about a citation that positions AI-generated material as a primary source. Rather, I'm talking about how to describe AI use in the methods section.
How to cite datasets in Wikipedia articles?
The DRI Labs team shares advice in this blog post on mapping descriptive information from Repository metadata records to Wikipedia templates. This would make a great classroom activity teaching #DataCitation!

Digging deeper into data citations: recognizing and rewarding data work

We evaluate science mostly through papers. But researchers report that up to 75% of project effort is data work โ collecting, cleaning, documenting, and preparing datasets. A reminder that research outputs โ research work.

Most research evaluation still rewards papers, not the work that makes them possible. Yet researchers say up to 75% of a project can be data work: collecting, cleaning, curating, documenting.

Maybe it's time to stop pretending that publications alone represent research.

New paper in Research Evaluation explores how researchers actually cite data. Key insight: data citations are far more complex than simple indicators of data reuse.

They reflect scientific practice, community norms, attribution, and even reputation-building. A timely reminder: metrics alone cannot capture the real value of data work.

New research highlights barriers to proper dataset citation.
A study in the Data Science Journal finds that many commonly used reference managers do not adequately support data citation workflows, slowing recognition and reuse.

CESSDA's Monitoring Report 2024โ2025 on Data Citation Practices highlights an increasing trend among its Service Providers to promote dataset citation. Repositories like DANS are now providing recommended citations on dataset pages, simplifying user referencing and boosting data visibility in scholarly work. As a CESSDA partner, DANS supports clear citation practices and shared its policy for the study. Read more: https://edu.nl/xyyee
