[Esip-citationguidelines] open data metrics book

[Matt Jones]

*Book Announcement*

Given the broad interest here in data citation at ESIP, I thought you might
be interested in our new book on open data metrics (
http://opendatametrics.org). My co-authors and I collaborate on how to
measure the reach and impact of research data.  While busy in these
projects, we tend to focus on building out the technical infrastructure
and/or community engagement. But found that we hadn’t clearly articulated
where we’re at as a community in terms of high-level challenges
surrounding “Data Metrics”.  And that we still needed to write down where
we need to go.

To clarify our opinions and approaches, we wrote a book: *Open Data
Metrics: Lighting the Fire* (it's free and CC-BY).  We hope it will jump
start a community conversation.  We would love to hear your feedback and
look forward to engaging with you on the topic.

*Open Data Metrics: Lighting the Fire*

Jones

Research data is at the center of science, and to date it has been
difficult to understand its impact. To assess the reach of open data, and
to advance data-driven discovery, the research and research supporting
communities need open, trusted data metrics. In Open Data Metrics: Lighting
the Fire, the authors propose a path forward for the development of data
metrics. They acknowledge historic players and milestones in the process
and demonstrate the need for standardized, transparent, community-led
approaches to establish open data metrics as the new normal.
