Hi sustainables -
This press release is related to our ROI work, and is probably something we
want to follow.

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation <https://sloan.org/> has made a 2-year,
$747K award to DataONE <https://www.dataone.org/>, the California Digital
Library <http://www.cdlib.org/> and DataCite <https://www.datacite.org/> to
support collection of usage and citation metrics for data objects. Building
on pilot work, this award will result in the launch of a new service that
will collate and expose data level metrics.

The impact of research has traditionally been measured by citations to
journal publications: journal articles are the currency of scholarly
research. However, scholarly research is made up of a much larger and
richer set of outputs beyond traditional publications, including research
data. In order to track and report the reach of research data, methods for
collecting metrics on complex research data are needed. In this way, data
can receive the same credit and recognition that is assigned to journal
articles.

*“Recognition of data as valuable output from the research process is
increasing and this project will greatly enhance awareness around the value
of data and enable researchers to gain credit for the creation and
publication of data”* - Ed Pentz, Crossref.

This project will work with the community to create a clear set of
guidelines on how to define data usage. In addition, the project will
develop a central hub for the collection of data level metrics. These
metrics will include data views, downloads, citations, saves, social media
mentions, and will be exposed through customized user interfaces deployed
at partner organizations. Working in an open source environment, and
including extensive user experience testing and community engagement, the
products of this project will be available to data repositories, libraries
and other organizations to deploy within their own environment, serving
their communities of data authors.

*“The ability to highlight data metrics across a range of different use
cases will be a significant enhancement and a great benefit to the user
community”* says Dr Amber Budden, Director for Community Engagement and
Outreach at DataONE and co-investigator on the award. *“Data authors will
be able to track metrics for reporting to funders and institutions and
data repositories will have more comprehensive information on community use
of their holdings.”*

*About the Partners*
*DataONE* (Data Observation Network for Earth) is an NSF DataNet project
which is developing a distributed framework and sustainable
cyberinfrastructure that meets the needs of science and society for open,
persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily
discovered Earth observational data.

*California Digital Library *was founded by the University of California in
1997 to take advantage of emerging technologies that were transforming the
way digital information was being published and accessed. University of
California Curation Center (UC3), one of four main programs within the CDL,
helps researchers and the UC libraries manage, preserve, and provide access
to their important digital assets as well as developing tools and services
that serve the community throughout the research and data life cycles.
*DataCite *is a leading global non-profit organization that provides
persistent identifiers (DOIs) for research data. Our goal is to help the
research community locate, identify, and cite research data with
confidence. Through collaboration, DataCite supports researchers by helping
them to find, identify, and cite research data; data centres by providing
persistent identifiers, workflows and standards; and journal publishers by
enabling research articles to be linked to the underlying data/objects.
