项目摘要

Research organizations, data repositories, and universities are beginning to assign persistent web-accessible identifiers to scientific resources. Assigning these persistent identifiers serves two crucial purposes. First, they are assumed to increase the traceability and reusability of scientific resources by allowing data sets, software, and other resources to be cited within the scientific literature. Second, without such traceability, it is difficult, if not impossible, to develop tools to measure the impact such resources have within the communities they belong to, or to understand the spread of that impact. Significant progress has been made in the past few years in the development of recommendations, policies, and procedures for creating and promoting these citable identifiers. While these efforts have raised the awareness of citation principles, which primarily address solutions to this issue moving forward, little progress has been made in tracking how data sets and other digital resources have actually been identified and cited in the past. This project focuses on developing efficient and extensible computational approaches to such attribution tracking. This effort will inform broader efforts to understand how scientific communities benefit from the use of scientific resources, facilities, and services. Using a multifaceted experimental design, the project examines whether resources with persistent identifiers receive more attribution (through citations or acknowledgements) than those that do not. The research questions focus on the benefits of assigning persistent identifiers to scientific resources, namely, whether the overall citations of such resources increase, and whether the traceability of such citations of resources increased with resource persistent identifiers. The outcomes and contribution of this project center on providing insight into 1) whether human or computational approaches compare favorably in terms of their accuracy and efficiency in finding relevant references to scientific resources, 2) whether persistent identifiers provide quantifiable benefit in terms of increasing the amount a resource is referenced by users, and 3) whether persistent identifiers are being included in significant numbers in references to scientific resources.

研究组织，数据存储库和大学开始为科学资源分配持久的Web访问标识符。分配这些持久标识符可实现两个至关重要的目的。首先，假定它们通过允许在科学文献中引用数据集，软件和其他资源来提高科学资源的可追溯性和可重复使用性。其次，没有这种可追溯性，很难（即使不是不可能）开发工具来衡量这些资源在其所属社区中产生的影响，或者了解这种影响的传播。在过去的几年中，在制定和促进这些可唤起标识符的建议，政策和程序的制定方面取得了重大进展。尽管这些努力提高了人们对引文原则的认识，这主要解决了该问题前进的解决方案，但在跟踪过去实际上已经确定和引用了如何确定和引用其他数字资源方面的进展很少。该项目着重于开发有效且可扩展的计算方法来进行此类归因跟踪。这项工作将为了解科学社区如何从使用科学资源，设施和服务的使用中受益。使用多方面的实验设计，该项目检查了具有持久标识符的资源是否比没有获得的资源（通过引用或确认）更多。研究问题的重点是将持久标识符分配给科学资源的好处，即，这种资源的总体引用是否增加，以及这种资源引用的可追溯性是否随资源持续标识符而增加。该项目中心对提供深入了解的结果和贡献是1）人类或计算方法是根据其准确性和效率相比，在找到对科学资源的相关参考方面的准确性和效率相比，2）持续的标识符是否在增加资源的数量中提供了可量化的福利，以及用户是否参考了持续的标识符，以及3）是否包含了大量的科学资源中的参考文献中的资源。
