Description

This dataset describes how datasets published in the research data repository RADAR are referenced, combining references extracted from Google Scholar, DataCite Event Data and the Data Citation Corpus.

DOIs assigned to RADAR datasets were retrieved from the RADAR API 2025-01-27. References in the three data sources were then identified using these DOIs. Each research output referencing a RADAR dataset was accessed to determine where the reference occurred in the full text. Author names and publication dates for datasets and referencing objects were added from OpenAlex and DataCite on 2025-02-10. Author names of datasets and referencing objects were compared to determine if data reuse occurred.

Columns

• from: DOI of the referencing object
• to: DOI of the RADAR dataset
• from_date: publication date of the referencing object
• to_date: publication date of the RADAR dataset
• source_gs: boolean indicating if the reference was found in Google Scholar
• source_dcc: boolean indicating if the reference was found in the Data Citation Corpus
• source_ded: boolean indicating if the reference was found in DataCite Event Data
• method_rl: boolean indicating if the dataset was referenced in the reference list
• method_das: boolean indicating if the dataset was referenced in the data availability statement
• method_fn: boolean indicating if the dataset was referenced in a footnote
• method_ft: boolean indicating if the dataset was referenced in other parts of the full text, for example in the methods section
• reuse_author: variable indicating if the reference is indicating data (overlap in the author names of dataset and referencing object) use or data reuse (no overlap)
