Value

A utils::bibentry object DataCite attributes. as_datacite returns the existing metadata of a dataset object.

Arguments

Title: The name(s) or title(s) by which a resource is known. May be the title of a dataset or the name of a piece of software. Similar to dct:title.
Creator: The main researchers involved in producing the data, or the authors of the publication, in priority order. To supply multiple creators, repeat this property.
Identifier: The Identifier is a unique string that identifies a resource. For software, determine whether the identifier is for a specific version of a piece of software, (per the Force11 Software Citation Principles, or for all versions. Similar to dct:title in dublincore().
Publisher: The name of the entity that holds, archives, publishes prints, distributes, releases, issues, or produces the resource. This property will be used to formulate the citation, so consider the prominence of the role. For software, use Publisher for the code repository. Mandatory in DataCite, and similar to dct:publisher. See publisher().
PublicationYear: The year when the data was or will be made publicly available in YYYY format.See publication_year().
Subject: Recommended for discovery. Subject, keyword, classification code, or key phrase describing the resource. Similar to dct:subject.
Use subject to properly add a key phrase from a controlled vocabulary and create structured Subject objects with subject_create.
Type: Defaults to Dataset. The DataCite resourceType definition refers back to dcm:type. The Type$resourceTypeGeneral is set to "Dataset", while the user can set a more specific Type$resourceType value.
Contributor: Recommended for discovery. The institution or person responsible for collecting, managing, distributing, or otherwise contributing to the development of the resource.
DateList: DataCite 4.4 allows to set multiple dates to a resource, they should be added as a list. See: datacite:Date.
Language: The primary language of the resource. Allowed values are taken from IETF BCP 47, ISO 639-1 language code. See language().
AlternateIdentifier: An identifier or identifiers other than the primary Identifier applied to the resource being registered. This may be any alphanumeric string unique within its domain of issue. It may be used for local identifiers. AlternateIdentifier should be used for another identifier of the same instance (same location, same file).
RelatedIdentifier: Recommended for discovery. Similar to dct:relation.
Format: Technical format of the resource. Similar to dct:format.
Version: Free text. Suggested practice: track major_version.minor_version. See version.
Rights: Any rights information for this resource. The property may be repeated to record complex rights characteristics. Free text. See rights.
Description: Recommended for discovery. All additional information that does not fit in any of the other categories. It may be used for technical information—a free text. Similar to dct:description.
Geolocation: Recommended for discovery. Spatial region or named place where the data was gathered or about which the data is focused. See geolocation().
FundingReference: Information about financial support (funding) for the resource being registered.
x: An object that is tested if it has a class "datacite".
type: A DataCite 4.4 metadata can be returned as a type="list", a type="dataset", or a type="bibentry" (default).
...: Optional parameters to add to a datacite object. author=person("Jane", "Doe") adds an author to the citation object if type="dataset".

Details

DataCite is a leading global non-profit organisation that provides persistent identifiers (DOIs) for research data and other research outputs. Organisations within the research community join DataCite as members to be able to assign DOIs to all their research outputs. This way, their outputs become discoverable, and associated metadata is made available to the community.

The ResourceType property will be by definition "Dataset". The Size attribute (e.g. bytes, pages, inches, etc.) will automatically added to the dataset.

Examples

Run this code

datacite(
   Title = "Iris Dataset",
   Creator = person(family = "Anderson", given = "Edgar", role = "aut"),
   Publisher = "American Iris Society",
   PublicationYear = 1935,
   Geolocation = "US",
   Language = "en")

as_datacite(iris_dataset, type="dataset")
