This is a review of the activities surrounding automation of credit for data (and software) to include work being done by the PARSEC project (Belmont Forum, 6 countries), ESIP Data Citation and Software and Services Citation Guidance, and FORCE11 Software Implementation Group.

The PARSEC project is an international team of scientists and informatics experts addressing challenges with Data Sharing and Credit and develop leading practices in active collaboration with science-driven use cases across six countries. Part of the grant builds on the work of the Enabling FAIR Data project as well as work by RDA’s Sharing Rewards and Credit (SHARC) Interest Group (IG), Data Usage Metrics IG, and Scholix IG.
