| Abstract: |
Is there a difference in citation rates
between articles that were published
with links to data and articles that were not? Besides being interesting from a
purely academic point of view, this question is also highly relevant for the
process of furthering science. Data sharing not only helps the process of
verification of claims, but also the discovery of new findings in archival
data. However, linking to data
still is a far cry away from being a
“practice”, especially where it comes to authors providing these links during
the writing and submission process. You need to have both a willingness and a
publication mechanism in order to create such a practice. 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. |
