Data Citation Resources - IASSIST Special Interest Group on Data Citation (SIGDC)

This list of resources on data citation includes meetings, articles, current practices and research, and other developments of interest. It was assembled by the IASSIST Special Interest Group on Data Citation (SIGDC) in the spring of 2012. Be sure to look for the SIGDC’s session, Data Citations: Linking Literature to Data and Measuring Impact, at IASSIST 2013 in Cologne.
