Why
data
papers?
Amsterdam
manifesto:
4.
A
data
citaLon
in
a
publicaLon
should
resemble
a
bibliographic
citaLon
and
be
located
in
the
publicaLon’s
reference
list.
• Data
can
(and
should)
be
cited
using
DataCite
DOIs
in
arLcles,
but
this
is
not
enough.
• Researchers
understand
the
value
of
papers
• University
departments
and
the
REF
understand
papers
• Researchers
know
where
to
put
paper
refs,
no
need
for
extra
guidelines
• Publishers
rouLnely
strip
out
anything
else
• Familiar
impact
metrics
can
be
collected
