Item Type Document for a "dataset"

Hi-
I just checked a DOI, 10.7302/ZCK4-0058, with "add by identifier" in the Zotero desktop application and the "Item Type" shows as "Document" then down below in the "Extra" section it has "Type: Dataset" and "DOI: 10.7302/ZCK4-0058". What is Zotero's source for the DOI metadata? I'm just concerned that our repository's datasets are being "mis-typed" and that the DOI is not listed in the URL field.

We use DataCite to mint our DOIs and indicate to DataCite that the "resourceType" is "Dataset".

We do not currently have a connection setup between our repository, Deep Blue Data, and any citation managers.

Here is the citation as created in our system:
Arbic, B. K., Schindelegger, M. (2021). Long-term Earth-Moon evolution with high-level orbit and ocean tide models [Data set], University of Michigan - Deep Blue Data. https://doi.org/10.7302/zck4-0058

Ideally we can clear this up with whatever system you use as a source for this information.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
susan

    And to reaffirm: what's being picked up is exactly what you want to see. Here's what Zotero outputs out of the box using APA style with that:

    Arbic, B. K., & Schindelegger, M. (2021). Long-term Earth-Moon evolution with high-level orbit and ocean tide models [Data set]. University of Michigan. https://doi.org/10.7302/ZCK4-0058


    "Deep Blue Data" (the only part that's missing) is not in the Datacite metadata: https://api.datacite.org/dois/application/vnd.datacite.datacite+json/10.7302/zck4-0058
  • Thanks, Adam. I was just informed by someone else that Zotero is working to "Dataset" as an item type. If I wanted to add a dataset manually I would have to pick another item type.

    Are you pulling this info from DataCite?

    Yes, I am aware that Deep Blue Data is not in the publisher field. Publishers are looking for [Data set] or [Dataset] in the citation, I just wanted to be sure that it's in there. APA seems to be the only one that includes it.
  • For Zotero import from Deep Blue Data itself, your offer COinS, have some embedded metatags, and then the JSON-LD/schema.org.

    Zotero doesn't yet pick up the schema.org, but that's definitely going to be the best quality metadata.

    I'd honestly disable the COinS if you can, since that's really poor for datasets. To get better import using the standard metatags, check out what various Dataverse installations do. Here's ours, e.g.
    https://data.qdr.syr.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.5064/F6C8276H
    That gets you pretty solid import.
    If you want to talk about setting up something dedicated for DBD, get in touch by email. I owe Jake several favors...

    Yup, using the DataCite JSON.

    Citation manuals have been quite slow to include data citations. If you see one that explicitly prescribes a data citation norm and doesn't include it in Zotero generated citations, you can let us know here and we'll include it (those would in theory also apply to other tools, but as you noticed, many don't include a dataset item type at all).
  • That's interesting about COinS, I've never heard of it. Do you have any resources about it, so we can make the appropriate adjustments.

    In the last year we've really bumped up our headers with Schema.org:

    I really appreciate this info Adam, I'll mention your offer to Jake.

  • Hi again Adam, I just need a bit of clarification on this point:

    "For Zotero import from Deep Blue Data itself, your offer COinS, have some embedded metatags, and then the JSON-LD/schema.org. "

    When you say import from Deep Blue Data, is this if we were using an export to Citation Manager or something else?

    As opposed to DataCite as the source for what shows in your app?

    Sorry, if I'm being dense here.

    Thanks again,
    susan

  • The standard way to import to Zotero is via the "Save to Zotero" icon at the top of the page.
    https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#via_your_web_browser

    If you look at that on Deep Blue Data (e.g. on https://doi.org/10.7302/zck4-0058 ), it defaults to COinS (very bad quality import, would be hard to improve) and you can select the other options (Embedded Metadata -- a better default, can be improved quite a bit or DOI) by right-clicking on the Save to Zotero icon

    (I'm the same person who answer you on Twitter, btw, adamsmith is just a username)
  • The guy from QDR? Nice.

    Thanks for the info! I'll put together a ticket for our developers to remove the COinS nonsense and beef up the metatags to see if we can improve things!

    I'll shoot you an email if I have questions.
