Recent Activity of DOI-minting to Solar-Terrestrial Physics Data in Japan

Data-DOI, data publication, and data citation will promote "Open Science". Recognizing their importance, solar-terrestrial physics (STP) data centers in Japan have been working to mint DOI to their database since August 2013. We participated from October 2014 in a 1-year pilot program for DOI-minting to science data launched by Japan Link Center, which is one of the DOI registration agencies. In the pilot program, a procedure of the DOI-minting for STP data was established. As a result of close collaboration with Japan Link Center, the first case of data-DOI in Japan (doi:10.17591/55838dbd6c0ad) was created in June 2015. The first case of data citation in Japan was also made. As of March 2018, there are 18 data-DOIs for the STP data. The effort of the DOI-minting to scientific data will be continued for database in our data centers and those in other fields of Earth Science.
