Intern talk:Publication types

The public simplified version is under Data publication

Dana's notes from previous discussion with Uwe (2021-07)
"Bibliography" and "editorial publication" are collections in which childs are "independent", as opposed to "bundled publication" or "publication series", where childs are dependent on the parent. They are technically lists of references, theoretically citable, but such citations are not really recommended, as opposed to citations of individual datasets or "publication series" and "bundled publication".

"Bibliography" is the lowest category of “publication”, the scientific added value is very limited. Bibliographies are actually not really intended to be “cited” because they are just a loose compilation of other citations. Uwe explains a bibliography as an example: ''You have written a paper and want to add a footnote, for example, that there is a collection (without guarantee) “Musterman at al collected some datasets about something during the MOSAIC project, available here: https: //doi.org/10.1595 / ... ". The DOI is not a quality feature here, just a persistent link.''

An "editorial publication" is a different case: Here the editors are responsible for the compilation of the data sets and it is also assumed that they have carried out quality checks on the compilation (selection of the data sets, the quality control, thoughts on the comparability of the methods, ...). What is quoted, however, is the compilation, not the individual data records behind the collection. Therefore, only the editor gets credit, and not for the content of the data, but only for his work that he has compiled it. If you want to pay attention to the scientific H-Index and want to give credit to all authors of the underlying data sets, you have to cite the individual data sets - there is no way around it.

How acknowledging editorial contributions is actually handled in the case of a citation index is unknown to us (not 100% transparent). We as publisher provide the information: "XY, as an editor, selected data sets from a subject area, checked them, compared them and wrote something about it" (Editorial) vs. "XY collected data XY himself and made these * own * data sets available as a publication series" (Series ). In the latter case, this is certainly something else in the sense of a citation index, because the work and role of the contributors is different.

"Bibliography": is not included in our wiki, mainly because of it's limitations regarding the citability.
