Showing that articles with links to data get higher citation rates might increase the willingness of scientists to take the extra steps of linking data sources to their publications. In this presentation we will show this is indeed the case: articles with links to data result in higher citation rates than articles without such links.

Elsevier Enriches Articles With Research Data Sets Elsevier and PANGAEA (Publishing Network for Geoscientific & Environmental Data) announced their next step in interconnecting the diverse elements of scientific research. Elsevier articles at ScienceDirect are now enriched with graphical information linking to associated research data sets that are deposited at PANGAEA.

In this paper we make the case for a scientific data publication model on top of linked data and introduce the notion of Research Objects as first class citizens for sharing and publishing.

"Contributed articles illustrate both challenges and innovations in implementing linked data"

From Elsevier, S&T Journals, Content Innovation. Offers models of dataset linking and application-based dataset linking to scientific journal articles

Description: "The focus of this project was on computer-mediated or computational scientific knowledge discovery, taken broadly as any research processes enabled by digital computing technologies. Such technologies may include data mining, information retrieval and extraction, artificial intelligence, distributed grid computing, and others. These technological capabilities support computer-mediated knowledge discovery, which some believe is a new paradigm in the conduct of research. The emphasis was primarily on digitally networked data, rather than on the scientific, technical, and medical literature. The meeting also focused mostly on the advantages of knowledge discovery in open networked environments, although some of the disadvantages were raised as well."

Enables uploading of datasets with research articles - connection between scholarly pub repositories and data repositories

new ways of publishing with linked data and metadata

Study of Open Access Publishing (SOAP) project highlights, culling some 40,000 answers reflecting positive views of open access while reflecting concerns with funding and journal quality. An introduction to the survey is presented with links to survey data.
