<p class="MsoNormal">We have a couple of ways in which we are tracking citations associated with the collection. If an object is referenced in a publication specifically by catalog number, then we are entering that citation into our Specify CMS to link it
to the record in question. We are doing the same for Genbank sequences mentioned in publications that utilize tissue samples from our tissue collection. The Genbank sequence is entered into the DNA sequence table with a link to Genbank and the citation is
entered into the citation table associated with the tissue record. An example of this can be found here -
<a href="https://ichthyology.specify.ku.edu/specify/bycatalog/KUIT/5085/">https://ichthyology.specify.ku.edu/specify/bycatalog/KUIT/5085/</a><b>.
</b>There is a citation and DNA sequence link at the bottom of the page<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, now with open access to our data through our own web portal and through the major aggregators, we are finding much more use of data through downloads for niche modelling and the like as you mention. GBIF does a great job of tracking
this use from the GBIF platform through listing citations associated with downloads -
<a href="https://www.gbif.org/dataset/8f79c802-a58c-447f-99aa-1d6a0790825a">https://www.gbif.org/dataset/8f79c802-a58c-447f-99aa-1d6a0790825a</a> – see the citations link top right (although these need to be taken with a grain of salt given that a lot of them
are not fish related and probably represent download of a larger dataset that as subsequently parsed or cleaned before use). We are tracking these citations both within the CMS (without linking them to individual records) but also in a Google scholar profile
for the collection - <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=FdXNWeMAAAAJ&hl=en&authuser=1">
https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=FdXNWeMAAAAJ&hl=en&authuser=1</a>. The advantage of this is that you can get additional metrics associated with collection attribution and advocacy like H-index (although slightly skewed it still represents a relative
idea of citations).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question for you: how do you record whether a specimen has been cited in the literature, and what do you consider a citation of a specimen to be?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At OSUM, I’ve been taking a very liberal approach to specimen citations – that is, even if the specimen is not cited by number in the body of a text, if data from that occurrence/record was used in a paper, the specimen record has the citation
added, with info on the page, graph, or plate where the specimen is used/figured/, if possible. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I store all this info in one field, a standardized citation string that includes the doi and the page and figure number where applicable. For papers in BHL or other sites with stable URLs, I include the link to the page in the paper itself.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious how in-depth others on this list go when recording citation data for specimens. My goal is ‘extending the specimens’ for users of the collection, and also tracking citations for impact reasons.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
