It would be nice if we can link references to a study. When people write
papers, they can include the snapid in the paper, but it would be nice if we
can add the reference to the paper in the portal. This way, we can track how
many times a study was used to generate papers.
See below for emails send by Bill Stacey:
I've been thinking about the attribution.
I suggest a database line for each study that lists the papers that used it.
You ask everyone citing a work to somehow add their citation to the list. It
would be on the same tab as all the metadata. You could also have a counter
and put another more prominent "this study has been cited by --- manuscripts"
line on that same page. That way it would be a simple thing for Greg to look
through his studies and just count how many hundred times his work ha been
cited. If Brian wants to call that the s index that's fine, but it's a real
number that can be placed on cv and promotion docs quite easily. Plus the sum
of all would be a list of times the portal has been used.
A simpler way is to have it "manuscript based". The data is linked to a
manuscript, rather than a person. Because the manuscript already has a vetted
format for attribution, and can be verified through normal channels.
Keep in mind that some surgeons believe they are the real owners of all the
data, because they "did the work."
In this example, we cite the two Blanco et al. papers, then all who are on them
can use whatever methods they wish on their CV to say "and I made the data
public, and it has been used in 8 other publications through the Portal". I
think that would go over really well at NIH and tenure review.
