Reference

From PANGAEA Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Several references can be related to a dataset, but in principle, real primary data should be supplementary to one reference only. For information how to cite a PANGAEA dataset, see Citation.

Definition of a reference

  • Persistent identifier (DOI)
  • Author(s): Full names
  • Title: full title (not abbreviated, lower case for all words but for proper nouns, no full stop at end)
  • Source: this field should be used for monographs, e.g.
    • Books - In: Bleil, U & Thiede, J (eds.), Geological History of the Polar Oceans, NATO ASI Series, Kluwer Academic Publishers, London
    • grey literature like special reports, etc. not published in a series
    • disseration thesis, self published and issued just by the university
  • Journal: full title, not abbreviated
  • Volume: 53(2)
  • Pages: 34-67 or 123 pp for complete books, thesis, reports etc.
  • Year: publication year
  • Status: contains the "prepublication" status of a reference (submitted, accepted, in review, in press).
  • Serial No (optional): proprietary publication number, e.g. AWI publ No 1234 or PKDB56789
  • Type: Publication type (used internally for references formatting)
  • Attachments (optional)

Relations between a datasets and references

This describes relations between a Data set and References, which can be either external references or other datasets in PANGAEA, as well as documentation stored as attachments of references in PANGAEA's database. In the second column the relevant Datacite relation type is listed.

PANGAEA relation type Datacite relation type Usage in PANGAEA Examples
Replaced by IsObsoletedBy The dataset has a new version, for example because there is an error in the previous version (note: only the new version is findable through PANGAEA search, but using the older version DOI the dataset can be still viewed). doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.947986
New version IsPreviousVersionOf The dataset has a new version (note: both versions are findable).
Supplement to IsSupplementTo A paper and the related dataset are published at the same time, and fully referenced in both directions.
The dataset is published for the first time in connection with the paper.
doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.922024
Related to References Related datasets or papers, examples of typical uses:

• Related PANGAEA datasets

• External datasets which are closely related, such as gene sequences (ENA)
• Papers the data was used for, but the dataset was only published later
• Papers the data was used for, but not not for the first time like in supplement to
• Cruise reports (usually don't need to be explicitly cited, if cruise reports exist, they can be found through a pop-up window under Campaign).

Study report IsDocumentedBy Used in social sciences datasets. doi:10.26092/elib/166 (Handreichung) doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.919342
Source IsDerivedFrom Typical uses:

• When a dataset is a compilation of data from different sources, these sources can be listed under Source
• Raw dataset the processed data was derived from
• External databases that PANGAEA transferred the data from

doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.932846
Previous version Automatic opposite relation of New version
Other version IsVariantFormOf Connecting a dataset with a similar dataset in PANGAEA or a different repository. Typical uses:
• datasets with different formats (PANGAEA relational system version and a netCDF version, etc.)

• datasets with different resolutions (master tracks, gridded data, etc.)

doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.947986 (with external reference)

doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.954527 and doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.954531 (both PANGAEA) doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.953085
