Many university and polytechnic students in New Zealand are asked to use APA citation style in theirwriting assignments. However, a literature review on major works published in the last 10 years foundno studies examining how well New Zealand students handle APA style. Moreover, in my daily work inan academic library, I have noticed many of our students have difficulties in formatting papers usingAPA style.Taking a different approach, this research used a specifically designed test to probe for the mostcommon problems students face with formatting APA reference list and in-text citation. This approachwas based on the following considerations: (a) to facilitate a quantitative comparison and analysis ofeach APA element; (2) to verify this research approach, which was hardly used before. Special attentionwas paid to digital resources (e.g., blog post, video stream, etc.) to reflect a growing digital academicand research environment. Furthermore, this test has a strong focus on information resourcesrelevant to New Zealand.The research findings show that students’ APA style skills remained at the basic level. They had someideas about the rules, but did not comply with many of them. One significant finding is that theylacked the skills to judge the nature of information sources. Students generally performed well withthose information resources with which they are familiar. The research findings provide a snapshot onhow a sample of international students performed regarding APA style, and may inform the design ofa future APA style training session.

This data set describes the pre and post test scores of students who took part in a classroom game to improve knowledge of APA style citation.

OBJECTIVE: Disparities in how nursing faculty teach APA Style can confuse students and the librarians who help them. To clarify faculty expectations of and approaches to APA Style, this study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) What do nursing faculty perceive as the impact or value of APA Style? (2) How do nursing faculty teach and grade APA Style? By revealing the unspoken assumptions about APA Style and the value it adds to nursing education, it is hoped that health sciences librarians can more intentionally and effectively support this aspect of the nursing curriculum. METHODS: A mixed-methods study was designed to investigate potential gaps between nursing instructors' expectations for APA and their teaching/grading practices. The study incorporated an online survey of 75 nursing faculty at 14 Carnegie institutions with nursing programs, as well as qualitative interviews with 12 faculty at those institutions. A grounded theory approach was used to uncover salient themes. RESULTS: Nursing instructors consistently emphasized the importance of APA for referencing/in-text citations in both the survey and the interviews. When discussing the value of APA Style in nursing education, interviewees stressed APA Style as essential in developing professional nursing communication skills and evidence-based practice. However, faculty expectations for students' APA skills were not in line with their teaching and grading practices. CONCLUSION: Given the wide range of reporting teaching and grading practices for APA Style, nursing programs should work to clarify expectations for APA Style, and standardize how it is taught.

This dataset contains data collected during a study "Understanding the development of public data ecosystems: from a conceptual model to a six-generation model of the evolution of public data ecosystems" conducted by Martin Lnenicka (University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republic), Anastasija Nikiforova (University of Tartu, Estonia), Mariusz Luterek (University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland), Petar Milic (University of Pristina - Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia), Daniel Rudmark (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, Sweden), Sebastian Neumaier (St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences, Austria), Karlo Kević (University of Zagreb, Croatia), Anneke Zuiderwijk (Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands), Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar (University of Granada, Granada, Spain).

As there is a lack of understanding of the elements that constitute different types of value-adding public data ecosystems and how these elements form and shape the development of these ecosystems over time, which can lead to misguided efforts to develop future public data ecosystems, the aim of the study is: (1) to explore how public data ecosystems have developed over time and (2) to identify the value-adding elements and formative characteristics of public data ecosystems. Using an exploratory retrospective analysis and a deductive approach, we systematically review 148 studies published between 1994 and 2023. Based on the results, this study presents a typology of public data ecosystems and develops a conceptual model of elements and formative characteristics that contribute most to value-adding public data ecosystems, and develops a conceptual model of the evolutionary generation of public data ecosystems represented by six generations called Evolutionary Model of Public Data Ecosystems (EMPDE). Finally, three avenues for a future research agenda are proposed.

This dataset is being made public both to act as supplementary data for "Understanding the development of public data ecosystems: from a conceptual model to a six-generation model of the evolution of public data ecosystems ", Telematics and Informatics*, and its Systematic Literature Review component that informs the study.

The datacitation extension for CKAN aims to facilitate proper data citation practices within the CKAN data catalog ecosystem. By providing tools and features to create and manage citations for datasets, the extension promotes discoverability and acknowledgment of data sources, enhancing the reproducibility and transparency of research and analysis based on these datasets. The available information is limited, but based on the name, the extension likely focuses on generating, displaying, and potentially exporting citation information. Key Features (Assumed based on Extension Name): * Dataset Citation Generation: Likely provides functionality to automatically generate citation strings for datasets based on metadata fields, adhering to common citation formats (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). * Citation Metadata Management: Potentially offers tools to manage citation-related metadata within datasets, such as author names, publication dates, and version numbers, which are essential elements for creating accurate citations. * Citation Display on Dataset Pages: It's reasonable to expect that the extension displays the generated citation information prominently on the dataset's display page, facilitating easy access for users. * Citation Export Options: May provide options to export citations in various formats (e.g., BibTeX, RIS) to integrate with reference management software popular among researchers. * Citation Style Customization: Possibly provides configuration options to customize the citation style used for generation, accommodating different disciplinary requirements. Use Cases (Inferred): 1. Research Data Repositories: Data repositories can utilize datacitation to ensure that researchers cite datasets correctly, which is crucial for tracking the impact of data and recognizing the contributions of data creators. 2. Government Data Portals: Government agencies can implement the extension to promote the proper use and attribution of open government datasets, fostering transparency and accountability. Technical Integration: Due to limited information, the integration details are speculative. However, it can be assumed that the datacitation extension likely integrates with CKAN by: * Adding a new plugin or module to CKAN that handles citation generation and display. * Extending the CKAN dataset schema to include citation-related metadata fields. * Potentially providing API endpoints for programmatic access to citation information. Benefits & Impact: The anticipated benefits of the datacitation extension include: * Improved data discoverability and reusability through proper citation practices. * Enhanced research reproducibility and transparency by ensuring that data sources are properly acknowledged. * Increased recognition of data creators and contributors. * Simplified citation management for users of CKAN-based data catalogs. Disclaimer: The above information is largely based on assumptions derived from the extension's name and common data citation practices. The actual features and capabilities of the datacitation extension may vary due to the unavailability of a README file.
