Barriers to Data and Software Sharing: The Reference Manager Gap

AGU and other publishers have developed guidance for authors to support best practices for data and software sharing and citation, but there remains a significant gap in knowledge and implementation of these practices amongst scientists during the publication process. Reference managers are an important tool to facilitate uptake of data and software citation, but this infrastructure is not yet adequately developed for these applications. In this poster, we compare and contrast dataset and software citation capabilities amongst major reference managers and numerous data repositories to begin a conversation about technical improvements to this critical component of FAIR data infrastructure. This poster was presented during the 2024 January Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Meeting held virtually (Jan. 23-26, 2024).

美国地质学会（AGU）及其他出版机构已制定指导方针，以支持作者在数据与软件共享及引用方面的最佳实践，然而，在出版过程中，科学家们对实施这些最佳实践的知识与能力仍存在显著的差距。参考文献管理器是促进数据与软件引用采纳的重要工具，但这一基础设施尚未充分发展以适应这些应用。在本海报中，我们对比分析了主要参考文献管理器以及众多数据存储库中的数据集与软件引用功能，旨在开启关于改善FAIR数据基础设施关键组成部分的技术改进对话。该海报于2024年1月举办的虚拟地球科学信息合作伙伴（ESIP）会议期间进行展示（2024年1月23日至26日）。
