Intern:Citable

The word Publishing in the name of Pangaea points to the intention that the system can be used as a Publisher for data. A publication requires a well defined citation which is used by other to reference a dataset and which also clearly identifies where to find the publication (in this case the data). The citation should be part of library catalogs. Keep in mind, that citable data can not be changed.

Checking the citable box on the data sets Basics card will direct the data sets citation (plus some additional metainfo) to the TIBORDER library catalogue. At first usage is restricted to the Pangaea editor and data librarian 15:05, 11 July 2006 (MEST).

Prerequisites to make a data set (child or parent) citable
 * define how many single sets (childs) belong to the entity which should be made citable: if >1 the data sets need to be grouped first using the parent functionality
 * all data sets affected must have the status published
 * all data sets are proof-read and the quality is confirmed by the author/PI
 * metadata are complete
 * if a reference is given, it must be linked to the full text via DOI or pdf-file
 * if no reference is available, the source field must be filled
 * an abstract is available in the abstract field of the data set. The abstract might be copied from the reference or extended describing the set in more detail (methods, quality, source)
