DesignSafe and the Impact of Data Reuse

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

One way the DesignSafe team measures impact is by tracking research papers
that cite DesignSafe and the data published at DesignSafe.

In a recent article, “The Impact of Data Reuse <https://bit.ly/2VmvUup>,” the
DesignSafe team details useful and creative ways that researchers are
reusing DesignSafe data. Find out how researchers from Rice University and
Tufts University, for instance, employ data from a shake table project to
validate their own models. Learn how researchers from Virginia Tech are
leveraging field characterization datasets in a variety of ways. And
discover how data from a geotechnical centrifuge test is proving valuable
to a group from Hanyang University in South Korea, which does not have the
facilities for conducting large-scale experiments on its own.

These stories highlight the lasting value of datasets that continue to be
used decades after they were published.

The article includes statistics on the increasing number of total citations
referencing the use of DesignSafe and data published on DesignSafe. This
positive trend demonstrates the value of publishing data and the importance
of citing data in the references using DOIs.
