[CODATA-international] Advances in the Make Date Count initiative

[Amber E Budden]

Hello CODATA,

I hope you are well.

I wanted to pass along some updates that came out from the Make Data Count team today as I think they will be of interest to this community. With additional support from the Sloan Foundation, MDC has grown include bibliometrics researchers and Crossref, allowing us to expand our scope and reach. Our goals are to see an increase in repositories standardizing and reporting their data usage, an increased corpus of data citations submitted by publishers, and an increased general awareness of the need for bibliometrics studies before assuming we have data metrics.

We welcome your thoughts and contributions,
Best,
Amber
