5. Citing Data
Wiley endorses the FORCE11 Joint Declaration of Data Citation
Principles [23], a set of guiding principles for data within
scholarly literature, another dataset, or any other research object. We
recommend the format for data citation proposed in this Joint
Declaration, and that data held within institutional, subject-focused,
or more general data repositories should be cited. At the same time, we
do not intend to replace community standards such as in-line citation of
GenBank accession codes, instead we hope to supplement those with formal
data citations. This is one way to begin to enable researchers who share
data to be recognized in the same way that researchers are recognized
when they collect citations to their research articles. Data citation
like this is not new to Wiley policies. But the emphasis on data citation within the new Wiley data
sharing policies is new and is in-line with industry standards and
initiatives to recognize data as a primary research object.
