ORNL Review
Story Tip
This is a story idea from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. To arrange for an interview with a researcher,
please contact the Communications and External Relations staff
member identified at the end of the tip.
DATA — Straight to the source . .
.
Data archived at Oak Ridge National Laboratory can now be more
effectively discovered, used and tracked through a new research
resource from Thompson Reuters. The data citation index allows
researchers to better gauge the impact of their data by readily
tracking the number of times those data are used in papers. In
addition, the new index will facilitate the sharing of researchers’
results in the scientific community. Similar to traditional
citation indices that credit papers in scientific journals, the new
index will attribute the originally published datasets. ORNL’s
Distributed Active Archive Center, Carbon Dioxide Information
Analysis Center and Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Data Archive
will be part of the index, which is scheduled for release later
this year.
