Description

This webinar was the third in a series examining persistent identifiers and their use in research. It provides an introduction and overview of the Scholix (SCHOlarly LInk eXchange) initiative: a high-level interoperability framework aimed at increasing and facilitating exchange of information about the links between data and scholarly literature, as well as between data.

The framework is a global community and multi-stakeholder driven effort involving journal publishers, data centers, and global service providers. Questions Scholix is addressing include:

• When a CSIRO dataset is mentioned in a journal article by a third party, how can CSIRO find out?
• How can the CSIRO scientist find out?
• When several journal articles have already been published using a dataset from the University of Melbourne, how can a prospective new user of that dataset find them?
• When a research facility’s data archive knows that one of its datasets underpins the conclusions of a journal article, how can the journal publisher’s site link to that dataset?

Speaker

• Adrian Burton, Director of Services, ANDS
