What Makes a Dataset Citable?
Before assigning a DOI to a dataset, certain criteria must be met, namely that the cited dataset has to be:
Stable: not subject to modificaton.
Complete: not subject to updates.
Permanent: by assigning a DOI, data centres are committing themselves to making the dataset available for the foreseeable future.
Of good (technical) quality: by assigning a DOI, data centres are giving it a ‘stamp of approval’, stating it is complete with all metadata made available.

18 days ago
Thanks to Twitter, I have been sent copies of obsure articles much faster than I would have received them from an interlibrary loan. I just need to tweet "Does anyone have access to the Journal of X, 1972?" and within an hour someone will have e-mailed me the PDF. It's tremendously useful.
