This DataONE OpenWetWare site contains informal notes for several research projects funded through DataONE. DataONE is a collaboration among many partner organizations, and is funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) under a Cooperative Agreement.

Research Questions and Research Plans

Let's start brainstorming formal research questions, then you can flush out the scope and add your research plans for a June 30th mini-deliverable.

Data citation practice inventory within journals

Owner: Sarah.

  1. What are various practices for data citation within academic papers? How prevalent is each variety?
  2. How do these practices vary across discipline, journal, data type, data source?
  3. How have these practices varied across time?

Scope and Plan

  • which journals?
    • I'll add a link with some info --Heather
  • which time periods?
  • what data will you extract?
  • how many datapoints do you expect?
  • what stats will you run? what is your statistical power?
  • what do you plan to have complete by June 30th?
  • plans for integration with other intern work?

Data sharing and citation policies

Owner: Nic

  1. What are the data sharing and citation policies applicable to authors, from funders, journals, institutions, and repositories?
  2. How are the collages of applicable policies different by discipline, journal, data type, data source?
  3. How have the collages of applicable policies changed across time?
  4. How do the applicable policies correlate with data sharing behaviour

Comment: this may need narrowing down...

Scope and Plan

  • where to focus the research. Specific issues of specific journals? Same as Sarah's?
  • what data will you extract?
  • how many datapoints do you expect?
  • what stats will you run? what is your statistical power?
  • what do you plan to have complete by June 30th?
  • plans for integration with other intern work?

Data citation practice inventory for repositories

Owner: Valerie

  1. What are all the ways that data housed in given repositories are cited or attributed?
  2. How do these practices vary across discipline, journal, data type, data source?
  3. How have these practices varied across time?

(Very similar to Sarah's project, above)

Scope and Plan

  • which repositories? TreeBASE, Pangaea, the ORNL DAAC archive ?
  • how will you bound the problem? a subset of repository entries? a subset of journals for citation and attribution links?
  • what methods will be used to search for citation and attributions? using which search resources?
  • what is the estimated coverage of these methods? Could come from Sarah's project results.
  • how many datapoints do you expect?
  • what stats will you run? what is your statistical power?
  • what do you plan to have complete by June 30th?
  • plans for integration with other intern work?
  • plans for integration/parallel analysis with Heather's NCBI GEO work?
    • I'll flush out some background info and this and provide links... feel free to ask in the meantime
