Make your Data and Software FAIR : AGU Guidance and Requirements

What should be included and cited in your paper? Citing data and software you created for your research may seem odd and a little bit like self-citation. But Alas! This is exactly what is needed to get credit for the data and software you created for your research. Giving credit to not only your research outputs but also others’ software and data that you used in your research are important. These research outputs are valuable contributions to science and increase the possibility of higher numbers of citation for your published paper.

In this session we will provide a checklist of what to cite in your paper as well as data and software management tools and practices that make sharing your data and software at the time of publication easier.
