    Reference Manager Data Citation
    support is Many-to-Many Problem
    Thousands of data repositories and multiple reference
    managers
    Possible Solutions
    • central data citation index(es)
    • common framework for importing dataset metadata
    (similar to what Citation-Style Language has done for
    formatting citations)

    Pitfalls/Questions
    • dumbing down the metadata back into text
    • separate reference list section for data citations?
    • indexing services not picking up data citations
    14
    Problem solved once dataset
    is in the reference manager?
