The Library currently has the Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index on trial, to provide access to research datasets for UQ staff and researchers. This new index connects researchers to quality data and data sets, across a range of disciplines, from around the world by providing links to data repositories. This makes data more discoverable and accessible by UQ researchers, and can potentially 'speed up the research process'.

Data Citation Index fully indexes a significant number of the world's leading data repositories of critical interest to the research community, including over two million data studies and datasets. The records for the datasets, which include authors, institutions, keywords, citations and other metadata, are connected to related peer-reviewed literature indexed in the Web of KnowledgeSM. Watch the video to find out more.

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the Index and we are seeking feedback from researchers around UQ on the Data Citation Index. We encourage you to explore this new tool and send your feedback to data@library.uq.edu.au
