Data Citation: Who Cares?

Heather Piwowar, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate, NESCent


ABSTRACT:
Standardized attribution upon reuse of research data is necessary to
reward the original data-producing investigators, reconstruct
provenance, and inform data sharing policies, tool requirements, and
funding decisions. Unfortunately, norms for data attribution are
varied and often weak. In this talk, Dr. Piwowar will discuss the
stakeholders in data citation, how researchers attribute data reuse
now, what best-practices are emerging for citing data, and what you
can do about it as someone who creates, reuses, and preserves
datasets.


SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY:
Dr. Piwowar is a postdoctoral research associate with DataONE and the
Dryad data repository at NESCent, Dr. Piwowar studies the patterns
with which scientists share and reuse research datasets, working to
inform efficient and effective use of data resources. She has measured
the citation benefit of publicly sharing research data, studied
patterns in public deposition of datasets, and is currently
investigation patterns of data reuse and the impact of journal data
sharing policies. Dr. Piwowar has a bachelor's and master's degree
from MIT in electrical engineering, 10 years of experience as a
software engineer, and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Informatics from the
