 September 2014 – February 2016 Project Page http://mdc.lagotto.io Making Data Count
3. Goals What metrics for research data do researchers and data managers want? Do data repositories make these metrics available? Build services to collect these metrics for all datasets in DataONE repository network

6. THE VALUE OF RESEARCH DATA Metrics for datasets from a cultural and technical point of view http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/6205/1/Value_of_Research_Data.pdf
7. Survey
8. How interested would you be to know each of the following about the impact of your data? http://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2015.39 http://www.dx.doi.org/10.5060/D8H59D
9. What metrics/statistics does your repository currently track and expose? http://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2015.39 http://www.dx.doi.org/10.5060/D8H59D

11. Tool Building
12. Rewrote Lagotto open source application to handle research outputs beyond journal articles (API, admin frontend, relations) https://dlm.datacite.org/works/doi/10.5061/dryad.kh886
13. Wrote import pipeline to regularly import new DataONE datasets. Handles persistent identifiers beyond DOIs, including URLs. http://dlm.datacite.org/status
14. Wrote new sources for data metrics, including DataONE usage stats and data citations found in open access content https://dlm.datacite.org/sources/europe_pmc_fulltext
15. Started collecting data from more than 20 sources, including Mendeley, Facebook and Wikipedia https://dlm.datacite.org/works?source_id=mendeley
16. Citations
17. Metadata of dataset
18. Metadata of articles References are part of the metadata deposited to CrossRef Cited-by service aggregates these citations for CrossRef DOIs Work is underway to include Crossref DOI <-> DataCite DOI links
19. Fulltext search https://dlm.datacite.org/works/doi.org/10.5061/dryad.f1cb2
20. Second Order Events https://dlm.datacite.org/sources/pmceurope
21. http://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9212 … For instance, although there are estimated 18,000 butterfly species, there are currently only 6 butterfly genome sequences7, 8, 9, 10, 11… Citations 7-11 are all for journal articles, not datasets. Second Order Events
22. Downloads
23. Usage Stats aggregate DataOne usage log files from DataOne member nodes parse logs, applying COUNTER rules • observe double-click intervals • exclude blacklisted useragents two versions of usage stats • COUNTER-compliant • partial compliant (include some machines)
24. Average % of not filtered since 2005COUNTER 63.57% Partial 63.59% 2015COUNTER 44.88% Partial 47.05% Usage Stats
25. Next Steps Analyze usage statistics in more detail Analyze second order citations Analyze influence of persistent identifier Do similar project with scientific software Turn research project into service
