Mendeley unveiled a new feature today which shows citation snippets. See here for more on the release. Heather and I thought this could be a great tool to use instead of finding the full text of each article and searching within that to find the citations to the Data Citation Continue reading June 9, 2011 – New Mendeley Tool not ready for this study
After my flight from Chicago to Madison was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms, I was reschedule for a flight that left at 7:25am but without accommodations provided. I therefore opted to take a bus that left at 11pm and I am now back home 16 hours after I started traveling Continue reading 2AM, June 9, 2011 – Traveling Complete
I’m currently sitting at the Seattle SEATAC airport after spending a very productive 2 days with Heather in Bellingham, WA. I’m hoping that the forecast thunderstorms in Madison don’t prevent me from getting in tonight at 10:30.
Yesterday evening, I searched Google Scholar for the DOIs of the Pangaea datasets. The results and search terms for this can be found in the Google Spreadsheet. I found that 6.8 percent of datsets in Pangea had a hit on Google Scholar based on its DOI. We decided that Mendeley Continue reading June 7, 2011 – Morning update
We are calling articles that are reusing data “Data Reuse Articles.” What should we call articles that cite the Data Collection Article but do not reuse the data? In my preliminary searches I referred to these as “Doesn’t Reuse Data.” Some of our other suggestions: Only Cited By Reuse Candidate Continue reading Seeking Nomenclature Feedback 2
What should we call the journal article which describes the collection of the data in a dataset and most likely the first article for which the data was used. A few suggestions follow: Article of Reference Data Collection Paper Original Data Article Data Submission Paper We are currently using “Data Continue reading Seeking Nomenclature Feedback 1
This morning Heather and I met in sunny Bellingham, WA to hack out the details of this research project. A running document can be found here. We are starting with 3 repositories: Pangaea, TreeBase and GEO in order to put a poster abstract together for the ASIS&T conference poster submission Continue reading June 6, 2011 – Planning Meeting
This afternoon, I’m continuing my preliminary search with PANGAEA Dataset 59. Below are my search methods and results: Dataset: Pangaea 59: Supplement to: Teichert, Barbara MA; Torres, Marta E; Bohrmann, Gerhard; Eisenhauer, Anton (2005): Fluid sources, fluid pathways and diagenetic reactions across an accretionary prism revealed by Sr and B Continue reading June 3, 2011 – Prelim Searching PANGAEA 59
This morning, I’m continuing my preliminary search with PANGAEA Dataset 49. Below are my search methods and results: Dataset: Pangaea 49: Supplement to: Mohtadi, Mahyar; Hebbeln, Dierk; Marchant, Margarita (2005): Upwelling and productivity along the Peru-Chile current derived from faunal and isotopic compositions of planktic foraminifera in surface sediments. Marine Continue reading June 3, 2011 – Prelim searching PANGAEA 49
Next I’m working with the PANGAEA dataset #21, whose article reference was found to be cited by 9 articles in ISI WoS. During the process of searching, I’ve also been dealing with a couple technical issues. For some reason I keep getting redirected away from Science Direct full text articles Continue reading June 2, 2011 – Prelim Searching PANGAEA 21
