Data Citation Index

Data Citation Index includes bibliographic metadata from research data in Data Studies and Data Sets from a wide range of international data repositories. Source records include three document types: Repository, Data Study, and Data Set.

Generally, the hierarchy of a repository is represented in the product database by linking Data Sets to a Data Study and the Data Study to a repository.

Each record in the product contains standard bibliographic metadata such as author, abstract, keywords, descriptor terms, and more. Records may include cited references and citing article counts.

Coverage

Coverage includes research areas in the social sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, and humanities. Two citation index editions are available and include:

• Science (DCI-S) - 1900-present
• Social Sciences & Humanities (DCI-SSH) -1900-present

Some data sets may predate 1900. The product will retrieve these records if you select 1900-present as the timespan.
