Dear Colleague:
The U.S. CODATA and the Board on Research Data and Information (BRDI) is pleased to announce the publication of a new report: Out of Cite, Out of Mind: The Current State of Practice, Policy, and Technology for the Citation of Data . The report was authored by the CODATA-ICSTI Task Group on Data Citation Standards and Practices and edited by Yvonne M. Socha. The project was directed by the staff of the US CODATA/BRDI.

practices, its supporting infrastructure, a set of guiding principles

data citation practices, and open research questions. This is the
second report on data citation issues that has been published by the
collaboration of the CODATA-ICSTI Task Group and the US CODATA/BRDI.
