Supporting Scientific Discovery through Norms and Practices for Software and Data Citation and Attribution

Dear Colleague Letter - Supporting Scientific Discovery through Norms and Practices for Software and Data Citation and Attribution
This is interesting - NSF fundining research into data citation and impact metrics. This is a particularly interesting angle that they suggest research into:

"

• Citation patterns that include a role for citations (e.g. to value activities such as “data provider/curator” and/or “software tool provider” alongside “data analyzer” or “computational modeler”), which can help create a credit market for data and software sharing "

 Thanks Natasha Simons for passing this on.
