摘要：Many institutions across academic disciplines are investigating and
promoting data citations. A data citation, as the term suggests, is
a citation included in the reference list of a published article that
formally cites data that led to a given research result. Formal data citations
are becoming more common, but are still more the exception than the rule
across disciplines. Authors of research papers typically refer to their source
data in other ways, such as free-text mentions in the methods section of a
paper or a mention in the acknowledgements section of a paper. Data
citations, on the other hand, appeal to many data producers, repositories and
research funders because of their potential to become an accountable part of
the scholarly communication process. If researchers begin to cite their
source data through the formal citation mechanism, data sets can potentially
be better assessed for their impact on the scientific community through the
compilation of data citation indices.
