#1Few policies request or require data citation

We reviewed policies of various stakeholders within the environmental sciences, looking for evidence of data citation policies and attribution suggestions. Policies in our sample that mention data citation:Journal policies rarely included useful best practices. Nicholas Weber, Data citation in the wild IDCC 2010 poster. Policy links can be found at: http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Valerie_Enriquez/Notebook/DataONE_Web_resources

#2No consistent practice

We reviewed 500 articles in six major evolution and ecologyjournals for evidence of data citation: Sarah Judson, Data citation in the wild IDCC 2010 poster.

#3Huge manual effort required to track

In 2009, there were 116 articles citing ORNL DAAC data.Finding these articles took 70-80 hours of workacross at least 12 search engines, abstract servers, cita3on databases, and full-‐text archives, all chosen from a deep understanding of this speciﬁc research domainthen the full text of the hits were manually reviewed.

#4Lack of tool support!

#5Our best practices don’t scale to mega-reuse

#6Adoption of best practices erode incentives in the short term
