DOI (Document Object Identifier)

The following description is taken from https://www.std-doi.de/ DOIs aim at making primary scientific data citeable as publications. A data set would be attributed to its investigators as authors like it would be done for a work in the conventional scientific literature. Thus, scientific primary data should not exclusively understood as part of a scientific publication, but may have its own identity. To make primary scientific data citeable as publications, several organizational and technical pre-conditions have to be met:
  • Quality control of the primary data set by the author and by the data publishing agency,
  • Quality control of the descriptive metadata set by the author and by the data publishing agency
  • Long-term availability of the published data in an online repository
  • Search function for data publications in library catalogues
  • Access to the primary data with assignment of a persistent identifier and resolver system (DOI resolver)
Data intended for publication must meet the criteria stated above. Published data must be openly accessible and cannot be modified, like articles in scientific literature.

The size of the data sets used in a scientific publication often prohibits their publication as data tables and, as a result, data used as the basis of a publication are rarely published anymore. The lack of access to scientific data is an obstacle to interdisciplinary and international research. DOIs together with their bibliographical information provide the opportunity to find and to cite primary data in scientific publications. A citation of a data set follows the classical citation rules in scientific literature, e.g. author(s), publication year, data set name, persistent identifier. An example: Nozawa, Toru (2004): IPCC-DDC_CCSRNIES_SRES_B2: 211 YEARS MONTHLY MEANS, National Institute for Environmental Studies and Center for Climate System Research Japan, WDCC. doi:10.1594/WDCC/CCSRNIES_SRES_B2.
