Reference
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) |
doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.954232 |
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 |
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 |
References | References | References from Abstract, Methods or Comments relating to methodology (e.g., calculated after …, the measurement setup was described in …, the calibration equation was taken from …) | |
Related code / software | References | Code published elsewhere (e.g., Zenodo) | |
Data processing report | IsDocumentedBy | Data processing reports published at EPIC, Zenodo, sensor.awi.de or elsewhere or attached directly as pdf-file |
doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.954531 |
Standard operating procedure | IsDocumentedBy | Standard operating procedures (SOP) published at EPIC, Zenodo, sensor.awi.de or elsewhere or attached directly as pdf-file | doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.953085 |
Additional metadata | HasMetadata | Metadata details and descriptions. Typical uses:
• External: Sensor reference (laboratory or sensor record at sensor.awi.de, incl. hdl) |
doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.954014 (Sensor.awi.de) |
Documentation | IsDocumentedBy | Additional documentation. Typical uses: • More detailed (and formatted) description of the dataset as pdf-file • Readme file |
|
Further details | IsDocumentedBy | Typical uses: • Quicklooks, overview maps and all kinds of content that doesn’t fit into any other “IsDocumentedBy” category • Station lists |
doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.954531 (station list, trackline) |
