Chenyue is a second-year doctoral student in School of Information Sciences at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on the knowledge infrastructures that support data sharing and reuse. She will present her research with her advisor, Dr. Peter T. Darch, on the role of the data paper in scholarly communication. Data papers, published as peer-reviewed articles that provide descriptive information about specific datasets, are a potential solution to facilitate data sharing and reuse by providing citation credit for data producers and providing contextual information to support reuse. Data papers have often been cited. However, does citation of a data paper really mean reuse of the underlying dataset? Chenyue will present their preliminary findings from a content-based citation analysis of data papers.
