BIELSKAS, Amanda, Geology/Geosciences Librarian, Columbia University, 601 Schermerhorn, 1190 Ansterdam Ave, New York, NY 10027, asb2154@columbia.edu

This poster will explore data citation and metrics in the geosciences. The history, current status as well as insight into the future on data citation will be thoroughly reviewed. Additionally, I will illustrate important data citation tools such as the Data Citation index, DataCite project, and Altmetrics. These tools can be used to help measure the contribution of digital research in the discipline and to get a different view of scholarly research output through the data lens.
