Research Data Australia contributors are able to opt-in to make their collection records available for harvest by Clarivate's Data Citation Index on the Web of Science. This page provides information on the metadata transform or cross-walk, from RIF-CS to DCI schema (see Table 1 and associated notes in Appendix 1). For more general information on participating in the Data Citation Index as a contributor, please refer to this overview.
Records that comply with RIF-CS best practice as defined elsewhere in this Guide and incorporate the Data Citation Index specific guidance provided below, should validate against the DCI schema. It is preferred that in the RIF-CS CitationInfo element, the CitationMetadata child element is used. This will ensure the DCI mandatory elements and data citation are accurately represented in the Data Citation Index.
Data Source Administrators (DSAs) can access a simple web service that enables the preview of records in their data source that have been transformed to the DCI metadata format using the mapping. To use the web service in the RDA Registry Production or Demo environment, you need to have DSA permissions.

* indicates the element is required by DCI
# indicates the element will be used to populate the citation element in DCI using the following convention: Author/s (Year): Title. Source. Source URL
Note: where more than one RIF-CS element can be used to populate a DCI element, the options are given in preferred order.

RIF-CS Group
-
Displays in DCI as "Repository Name"
-
Displays in DCI as "Source" where citationInfo:citationMetadata:publisher is not provided
-
"Source" will be used to populate the Publisher element in the DCI citation statement where citationInfo:citationMetadata:publisher is not provided
-
"Repository Name" is used to link all contributor records to the appropriate DCI repository record.
RIF-CS Related Object (Parties)
-
The DCI information model does not provide for separate records for related parties, activities and services. So, where CitationMetadata is not provided in the RIF-CS, related parties of specified types are used to populate the required "Author" element in DCI.
-
As this element is used to form the citation statement in DCI, care should be taken to select the appropriate type for each related party so that only those who should be credited in the citation statement are included.
-
The accepted types are documented in the transform table.
RIF-CS Related Info (type=publication)
-
Displays in DCI as "Citations". Do not confuse with RIF-CS Citation Information.
-
While this element is optional in DCI, it is highly recommended that this information be provided where possible as it allows Clarivate to create bi-directional links between a record in the DCI to records for related publications held elsewhere in the Web of Science suite of products. For users, this enables easy navigation between related resources in the Web of Science.
-
Where possible, provide a PubMedID for a related publication as this is sufficient information for Clarivate to link to a related publication. Otherwise, include a FullCitation for the related publication as a Note in the RelatedInfo element and choose relation type=isCitedBy as per the example below:
-
<relatedInfo type="publication">
-
<identifier type="DOI">10.1016/j.amjmed.2014.06.036</identifier>
-
<title>Acute porphyrias in the USA: features of 108 subjects from Porphyria Consortium</title>
-
<relation type=isCitedBy</relation>
-

RIF-CS Citation Information
-
Displays in DCI as "How to cite this resource". Do not confuse with DCI Citations.
-
Where it is provided, CitationMetadata is the preferred source of content for the DCI citation elements including: Author (Year) Title. Publisher. Identifier.
-
Where CitationMetadata is not provided, the elements making up the citation will be populated according to the transform table. Note that the Publisher will be inferred from RIF-CS Group.
