Thomson Reuters Unveils Data Citation Index for Discovering Global Data Sets
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
First of Its Kind Data Citation Index Connects Researchers to Data Repositories
around the World
Philadelphia, PA, June 22, 2012 - The Intellectual Property & Science division
of Thomson Reuters announced today that it will preview at the American Library
Association Conference (ALA) the Data Citation Index(TM), an upcoming research
resource within the Web of Knowledge(SM) to facilitate the discovery, use and
attribution of data sets and data studies, and link those data to peer-reviewed
literature.
This new research resource from Thomson Reuters creates a single source of
discovery for scientific, social sciences and arts and humanities information by
connecting foundational research within data repositories around the world to
related peer-reviewed literature in journals, books, and conference proceedings
already indexed in the Web of Knowledge.
The Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index, scheduled for release later this year,
makes research within the digital universe discoverable, citable and seamlessly
linked to the article detailing the outputs from the original investigation.
Thomson Reuters has partnered with data repositories such as the Inter-
University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) to capture
bibliographic records and cited references for digital research, facilitating
visibility, author attribution, and ultimately the measurement of impact of this
growing body of scholarship.
"We are excited to partner with Thomson Reuters in the building of the Data
Citation Index," said Mary Vardigan, assistant director of the ICPSR. "By
linking publications in the Web of Science to the datasets on which they are
based and enhancing the discoverability of data through the Data Citation Index,
Thomson Reuters is highlighting the importance of research data in the
scientific process."
"The Data Citation Index will revolutionize the way data sets are discovered and
utilized," said Keith MacGregor, executive vice president of Thomson Reuters.
"It will enable researchers, institutions and funders to gain a comprehensive
view into the origins of research projects and influence the future paths they
take, while also eliminating the duplication of work and speeding the scientific
research process."

#1200, at the American Library Association Conference in Anaheim, California,
June 22-26.
