Make Data Count: Measuring Data Use and Reach (NSF), April 14, 9:00 AM Pacific Registration is now open for the third event in the DataONE Webinar Series (www.dataone.org/webinars) focused on open science, the role of the data lifecycle, and achieving innovative science through shared data and ground-breaking tools. There will be a panel presentation by Jennifer Lin, Martin Fenner, Matt Jones & John Kratz from the Public Library of Science, DataONE and the California Digital Library.  The webinar is focused on the outcome of a recent collaborative NSF grant and is titled: “Make Data Count: Measuring Data Use and Reach”. Register at: www.dataone.org/upcoming-webinar.  (Free.) Abstract:  California Digital Libraries, PLOS, and DataONE are partners in Make Data Count (http://articlemetrics.github.io/MDC/), an NSF-funded project to design and develop metrics that track and measure data use, i.e. “data-level metrics” (DLMs). DLMs are a multi-dimensional suite of indicators, measuring the broad range of activity surrounding the reach and use of data as a research output. In the webinar, we will discuss the findings from Phase 1 in which we gathered information about the needs of researchers– how do they want to get credit for the data they produce? What do they want to know about how their data is used? What do they want to know about others’ data to evaluate quality? We connected with the community to determine requirements and understand use case...
