Who's sharing with us on 6 Feb?  Focus: bibliographic software and data citation

• Dave Connell (Aust'n Antarctic Div) is our chair
• Anne Stevenson (CSIRO) will be talking about how she is hoping to use this blog
• Dom Hogan (CSIRO) is our focus speaker: an update on how well (or badly) various bibliographic software packages can manage data citations
• Everyone welcome to ask, share, suggest, network....

 Note: there are only 25 connections for this catchup: if there are several people from your institution who want to come along, please book at meeting room and all join in together.

If it is your first time using GoToMeeting you might have to download an app - only takes a couple of minutes.  Headphones are best but not essential.

How do I contribute to this blog?

You want to contribute?

Fantastic - the more the merrier as we work together to build a resource that is useful for all.

You can contribute in 3 ways:

1. Spread the word - tell others about this blog. Tweet it, post about it on your own site, email interesting posts to your friends and colleagues.
2. Comment - if you think of something while reading a post tell others by posting a comment
3. Write a post - is your idea or information too big for a comment then how about writing a stand alone post? 

Step by step instructions on how to do 2 & 3 can be found here.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Hi! Let's cite ...

Anne Stevenson here, a member of CSIRO's Research Data Support team, and new blogger to the new Data Citers blog in a new year (tip: having a Google account is useful necessary for posting; if you don't have one and don't want one, you can post a comment). I have alerts set up in a few different tools to notify me about data citation publications; I'm a happy-to-share librarian, and this blog provides a great way to do that, so you'll likely hear from me from time to time, as I share what I find.

I'll kick off with this recent paper by three members of our Australian data managing/sharing/publishing/citing community: all hail Natasha, Karen and Sam for sharing their knowledge and experience.
