Discrepancy: Preliminary citation vs. citation in published metadata record

[timvdstap]

It seems that in metadata records in IYS CKAN, the NPAFC is included in the citation, see e.g. here. In the metadata intake form, the NPAFC is listed as 'Publisher' and not included in the preliminary citation (which is preferred for us). Any reason why there's a discrepancy in what's shown in the preliminary citation, and in the CKAN records?

I think the publisher should have it's own section like how DataCite formats citations:

Creator (PublicationYear). Title. Publisher. Identifier

This is still an issue

Jan 14th update may have fixed this, please confirm.

[Br-Johnson]

Looks good now! Thanks @fostermh.

NPAFC is removed from IYS records, however, now I see that in the Hakai catalogue people with the role 'Contributor' are being included in the recommended citation in CKAN. That's different than in the metadata intake form preview @fostermh @n-a-t-e

I'm not sure this is fixed, because I see North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission still included in the citation, though now in a separate section (whereas I believe it should be omitted from the citation all together).

[Br-Johnson]

NPAFC is included in the citation because they are listed as the Publisher in the metadata record. Including the publisher in the citation is actually the preferred standard from DataCite. From the DataCite metadata schema:

"The following is the preferred format for rendering a DataCite citation for human readers using the mandatory properties of the schema:

Creator (PublicationYear): Title. Publisher. (resourceTypeGeneral). Identifier"

OR where there are versions:

Creator (PublicationYear): Title. Version. Publisher. (resourceTypeGeneral). Identifier

[timvdstap]

My bad, thanks for clarifying @Br-Johnson !

[Br-Johnson]

Mind you I just noticed that the order in which the publisher and resourceTypeGeneral are displayed in CKAN is backwards.

The order according to DataCite reccommendations should be:

"Creator (PublicationYear): Title. Publisher. (resourceTypeGeneral). Identifier

and currently it's

Creator (PublicationYear): Title. (resourceTypeGeneral). Publisher. Identifier

Lastly, identifying a publisher in the metadata intake form is not documented with tool tips and the publisher is not included in the preview.

The javascript library we are using to generate the citation does not have a DataCite format option. what you are seeing by default is APA. https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/data-set-references

btw, you probably already know about this service but it was new to me. https://citation.crosscite.org/

as far as ckan is concerned this issue appears to be solved. If that is not the case, please re-open the issue and provide more detail as to what is not working.
