. . . and where do you start searching? 11 different starting points Specialist bibliographic databases beat Google

>95% of the time

Discovery web

Discovery web Therefore can we conclude that data objects get this much discoverability?

Equal opportunities for data! Equal rights for data! NOW!

What does it take to make data equal?  Dataset home page with DOI  Datasets in aggregation platforms  Alerts when new data is released  More data from us!  Links from statistician’s home page  Datasets listed on sites like arXiv?  MARC records for OPACs  Datasets in A&I services  Links from statistical societies And this is a lot of work!

ScienceDirect OPACs Networked ebooks and ejournals Periodicals Books Working Papers Datasets Data Tables Grey Stuff And this was a lot of work too!

Networked ebooks and ejournals

And every single one with equal bibliographic status to books, journals and working papers. 710 Datasets 10,081 Tables

And because we’re using the same bibliographic systems . . .  Dataset home page with DOI  Datasets in IngentaConnect  Alerts when new data is released  More data from us!  Links from statistician’s home page  Datasets on Repec  MARC records for datasets  Datasets in EconLit  Links from statistical societies         

And finally . . . http://statlinks.oecdcode.org/ In case, you think we’ve wasted our time and readers still can’t find our data
