Donovan, G.C., and Langseth, M.L., 2024, U.S. Geological Survey Data Citation Analysis, 2016-2022: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9CPC9M2.

Summary

In 2022, publication and data linkages were evaluated using two methods in an effort to understand how a data citation workflow has been implemented by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) since the 2016 USGS instructional memorandum, Public Access to Results of Federally Funded Research at the U.S. Geological Survey: Scholarly Publications and Digital Data (USGS OSQI, 2016), went into effect, requiring USGS data be assigned a DOI, be accompanied by a citation, and be referenced from the associated publication (USGS OSQI, 2017). This data release includes data and publication structural metadata results retrieved from the USGS DOI Tool and Crossref APIs and Jupyter notebooks used to process and analyze the results.

Purpose

These data were compiled to analyze how a data citation workflow has been implemented by the U.S. Geological Survey by evaluating data and related primary publication linkages between 2016 and 2022 following the enactment of the 2016 USGS instructional memorandum, requiring USGS researchers to publicly release data associated with their scholarly publications (USGS OSQI, 2017). These data demonstrate how two different methods can be used to track publication and data linkages in an effort to advance data citation efforts.

Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness and approved for release by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.
