Short Group Status: 

Short Group Status (Scholix)

The working group is in maintenance mode, but continues to meet regularly in monthly calls and in RDA plenaries. The focus of the group’s work continues to be on adoption of the working group recommendations.

 

Short Group Status (Data Usage Metrics)

The working group continues to remain in limbo with RDA with a finished recommendation.

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group(s): 

Data Usage Metrics: The WG has produced a recommendation in consideration with RDA for endorsement. The recommendation is focused on community prioritization of normalizing data usage counts according to the COUNTER Code of Practice for Research Data. 

 

Scholix: The working group has generated a Scholix metadata schema, has helped implement this schema in multiple Scholix hubs and other infrastructure providers, and has built a community that provides Data citation services. The group is in maintenance mode since 2019 and continues to work on Scholix adoption with repositories, publishers and other industry groups.
