An introduction to the coverage of the Data Citation Index (Thomson Reuters): disciplines, document types and repositories

[Alberto Martín Martín]

/In the past years, the movement of data sharing has been enjoying great 
popularity. Within this context, Thomson Reuters launched at the end of 
2012 a new product inside the Web of Knowledge family: the Data Citation 
Index. The aim of this tool is to enable discovery and access, from a 
single place, to data from a variety of data repositories from different 
subject areas and from around the world. At the same time, records in 
the DCI are linked to the publications they inform, thus providing 
citation information for the data sets, and opening the way to data 
citation analysis.

The EC3 Research Group (University of Granada) is launching a new line 
of research to study the DCI. In this Working Paper we will present some 
preliminary results where we address the following issues//: discipline 
coverage, data types present in the database, and repositories that were 
included at the time of the study/.
