The draft Terms of Use and the Community Best Practices documents (iMB5) refer to citation mechanisms to ensure proper acknowledgement of all published content. The proposal for the Business Metadata is envisaged also to allow automatic generation of citations.
Examples of Citations
Here follows examples of citation templates which are under consideration for building the citation mechanism within the iMarine web infrastructure.
OBIS
The Ocean Biogeographic Information System provides guidelines on citations for the database, for general citation of the OBIS website and for its webpages.
See full text of guidelines and examples at http://www.iobis.org/about/citation
Example (for database):
OBIS (YEAR). Global biodiversity indices from the Ocean Biogeographic Information System. Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. Web. http://www.iobis.org (consulted on YYYY/MM/DD)
GBIF
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) provides a downloadable document "Recommended practices for citation of data published through the GBIF network" at http://imsgbif.gbif.org/CMS_ORC/?doc_id=4659&download=1 accessed through http://www.gbif.org/resources/2381
FAO Data
FAO data http://data.fao.org/ provides the following citation standards:
- FAO style
- APA (6th ed.)
- Chicago (Author-Date, 15th ed.)
- Harvard (18th ed.)
- MLA (7th ed.)
with download facilities as "EndNote" and "Export as Mendeley".
Example based on FAO style:
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. FISHSTAT. Global Capture Production (Dataset). (Latest update: 10 Jan 2014) Accessed (23 Jun 2014). URI: http://data.fao.org/ref/af556541-1c8e-4e98-8510-1b2cafba5935.html?version=1.0
ASFA
The Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) is following the Anglo-American Cataloguing rules AACR2 http://www.aacr2.org
Example of ASFA bibliographic reference: ftp://ftp.fao.org/FI/asfa/faq/faq11_e.pdf
FAO FI Department
The citation mechanism for the FI web pages is based on metadata driven by the FiMES schema which includes FI proprietary and Dublin Core elements.
Example:
© FAO 2006-2014. Fisheries and Aquaculture Department. Capture fisheries. In: FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department [online]. Rome. Updated 9 June 2014. [Cited 23 June 2014]. http://www.fao.org/fishery/capture/en
Citations for derivative products
Principles
- A derivative product is made of multiple contents from different sources with different owners.
- As per current iMarine Terms of Use - in case of datasets constituting the derivative product - citations are expected to be referred at dataset level, not a record level.
- Citations, beyond other information, give the way to understand the sources as well as the data owners and the copyright holders.
- Citation can be also utilized to acknowledge iMarine.
