Data Citation Index

The Data Citation Index on the Web of Science provides a single point of access to quality research data from repositories across disciplines and around the world. Through linked content and summary information, this data is displayed within the broader context of the scholarly research, enabling users to gain perspective that is lost when data sets or repositories are viewed in isolation. These connections allow researchers to efficiently access to an array of data across subjects and regions, providing a comprehensive picture of research output, to maximize research efforts and accurately assess importance.

In the following interview, Matsudaira addresses a few of the issues she will explore in her session, including the changing roles and required skill sets for today’s developers and engineers. How are operations and engineering jobs changing? Kate Matsudaira: Technology has been advancing rapidly — it wasn’t more than a decade ago when most software involved shrink-wrapped boxes. Things have evolved, though, and with open source, web, and mobile, the landscape has changed. All of the advances in languages, tools, and computing have created a plethora of options to build and create solutions and products.

In the past, engineering roles were specific, and people tended to specialize in one platform or technology. What are the most important soft skills developers and engineers need to cultivate?
