Intern:Citable

Checking the citable box on the data sets Basics card will direct the data sets citation (plus some additional metainfo) to the GetInfo and further library catalogues. The usage of the citable check box is restricted to the Pangaea editors. The web service functionality for citables is similar to supplements.

Prerequisites to make a data set citable (child or parent)

 * 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 set functionality
 * data sets affected must have the status published
 * data sets are proofread and the quality is approved by the author/PI
 * metadata are complete
 * if reference(s) are listed, its full text should be accessible
 * in the source field the institute is given where the research was coordinated/done
 * an extended abstract is available

Steps to a data publication

 * 1) define all required metadata in 4D
 * 2) import data with 4D
 * 3) assure that ORCID (or email/personal homepage) is linked to PI (see related fields in staff)
 * 4) set relation in the source field to the Intern:institution
 * 5) if several data sets belong to the publication define a parent set
 * 6) add (extended) abstract to the abstract field of the parent set
 * 7) optional add link to file in Further details of parent set
 * 8) proofread by editor: check availability and correctness in web view; spell checking, validity of links/DOIs
 * 9) proofread by author: send request to PI/author(s)
 * 10) iterate corrections with PI/author until approval
 * 11) change status to published & citable  -> citation and DOI will be valid 4 weeks after the last edit

Final quality check

 * read metaheader and text in data and check for errors
 * compare precision of numeric values with original file, i.e. number of digits after the decimal point
 * compare parameter/unit with original data
 * validate functionality of all links
 * extended abstract included?

Citation examples

 * a citable parent set consisting of 191 datasets with a source; the given references are related reports only
 * a citable binary object (geological map) using PANGAEA as a publication system
 * paper refers on page 41 to the supplementary data
 * paper cites in reference 37. N.J. Shackleton, Pangaea, http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.58229 (2001)}} (which is a child of a supplement, but the paper of the supplement should be cited!)
 * paper has a supplement with text and data, stored in the archive of the publisher and in addition in reference 7. the citation Our detailed Oligocene Pacific data set is available in electronic form at a designated data repository (www.pangaea.de). Accession codes are http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA...
