@emble64 I do this all the time. Also "did I leave the stove on?"
@DavidJohnGibson the steep curve comes with great payoff. Good luck.

@mrgunn This should work
library(stringr)
subset(df,str_length(str_trim(y))>0)
@mrgunn do you then want to remove rows where that var is blank?
@mrgunn you need to put a var name before the !
What is the data in that column? numeric? char? If numeric use as.numeric to turn "" to NA
@cboettig congrats!
@recology_ works on chrome for me...

mrgunn I've storify-ed the presentation links and other interesting sites mentioned at #datacite: http://sfy.co/FgI @mwittin @TAC_NISO @jasonpriem
@LizNeeley @carlystrasser @cboettig I say No.
@carlystrasser Not sure if I agree with that entirely. My THM has been treat data much the same way we treat articles.
Glad I didn't get rickrolled at #datacite OK GO'ed instead.
Someone tell me this journal exists? imgur.com/heVtq #datacite
@sorcha_ni or perhaps I could find you during the break? I'm wearing a green shirt with Texas on it.
@sorcha_ni thank you!
Janée: Lack of formal workflows makes it difficult to incorporate new/better data without revisiting entire processing chain. #datacite
Janée: Big shortcoming in earth sciences (also climate change ecology) is lack of formal workflows. Impedes reproducible research #datacite
Greg Janée alexandria.ucsb.edu/~gjanee/ Articles are static (no versions unlike github) and also lack good provenance. #datacite
@jasonpriem It also has the exact same API as delicious so it wouldn't be too much work for you :)
. @ORCID_Org is soon providing an open platform and will allow researchers to showcase data products in addition to pubs #datacite
@ndiipp @mdelhaye @joan_starr @jasonpriem Actually it's citwaitions. slide 9/31 here -> bit.ly/nNkMNh #datacite
@jasonpriem Your alt-metrics manifesto and associated tags: pinboard.in/url:734c2cf6a5…
@jasonpriem Before I forget. Why didn't you also mine Pinboard in addition to delicious? Most academics I know use that now.
@jasonpriem Nice talk by the way. Glad you shared the slides ahead of time.
@jasonpriem Sure thing. I'd be interested in seeing more of it though.
@mrgunn True. But excel is not going to disappear anytime soon since it is widely used to organize/enter raw data.

carlystrasser NSF thinking about requiring data citation in ref lists for proposals. GREAT idea! #datacite #StickOverCarrot
@wilbanks Nice talking with you before you left. Hope we can chat some more either tomorrow or another time.
We will if it counts towards tenure MT “@cboettig: Evidence that younger researchers are more protective of their data... #datacite”
@cboettig amen.
Elizabeth Moss: When data are shared more formally, they get used 2-3 times more (results from social sciences) #datacite
#datacite Mooney: DataCite Metadata Schema schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-2.… [pdf]
#datacite Mooney: Only 27% of journals examined in study addressed data citation. Most were science journals.
carlystrasser .@researchremix "Citation of data only matters if it is valued." Again... need credit for data to matter for tenure, advancement #datacite
Hailey Mooney staff.lib.msu.edu/mooneyh/ on data citations in context #datacite
. @researchremix As more datasets become citable, fewer papers will be cited as proxy which is the current practice. #datacite
. @researchremix Research community should lobby to open up reference lists, just like abstracts #datacite
. @researchremix data citation is a new use case for wos. Not currently set up to track data. Scopus does but incomplete #datacite
. @researchremix "data archiving is a good investment" researchremix.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/nat… #datacite
. @researchremix Are the scientists who share data the same ones who reuse? Difficult to answer w/o tracking data reuse #datacite

What is derivative in the context of data? Even open data community has no consensus @wilbanks #datacite
