Towards Automated Analytics of Research Publications

For readers of scientific publications it remains a big challenge to unambiguously relate the published research with the data used. To a substantial degree it is attributed to authors, journals, editors, and reviewers not prioritizing correct data citation, which impacts traceability, repeatability, and giving credits to published authors and their funding sources. Furthermore, uniform classification of the content of the published research is hampered by journals using journal specific topics and letting authors to assign free text keywords to their papers. We demonstrate automated analytics methods for extracting and relating datasets used and the research application areas by processing 1,300 research papers that referenced the NASA Giovanni service (but probably not the datasets in particular) as supporting their publication process. This presentation was given during the 2022 ESIP January meeting held virtually in January 2022.

A Newly Developing Community-Oriented Data System from NASA GES DISC

Data services are essential to facilitate data access and to aid efficiency of conducting research and application activities. With emerging technologies such as cloud computing and AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) leading the pace of the data world, the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC), home to the permanent archive for multidisciplinary Earth Observation (EO) geospatial data to study atmospheric composition, weather and climate variability, and water and energy cycles is no exception.Interfacing directly with users as part of data center work, we understand the challenges for the required time and effort to discover, visualize, and analyze large varieties and quantities of Earth Observation information for research, monitoring, and decision-making, largely due to the existing data and information systems aim to support experienced users, but has been proved difficult for non-earth scientists and new users that are unfamiliar with the variety of formats and structures in which data, metadata, and information are stored, as well as the required methods to use them. To address these challenges, I will update our latest activities with regard to water-and energy-related products and community-oriented and user-friendly services at the GES DISC, including our plans for the emerging technologies.

Landslide Likelihood Prediction using Machine Learning Algorithms

The supply of electricity via power plants is criticalto the operation of many critical infrastructure systems in mod-ern society. Natural hazards can disrupt the power supply, causepower outages that can halt economic growth, and impede emer-gency response until power is restored. The proposed work aimsto predict the landslides likelihood in these critical infrastructurelocations in the Northeastern USA using integrated databases ofexplanatory variables and machine learning algorithms. First,data related to landslides are obtained and merged, includingtopographic, soil moisture, and precipitation-related data. Fiveregression algorithms, namely: Random Forest, Extreme Gradi-ent Boosting (XGBoost), K-Nearest Neighbor regression (KNN),Linear Support Vector Regressor (SVR), and Linear regression,are utilized to predict the landslide probability and evaluatedon the dataset. The accuracy of the models is assessed by usingstatistical metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE), meansquared error (MSE), and root mean squared error (RMSE).The study results show that Random Forest outperformed othermodels with the mutual information feature selection method.It achieved an MSE of 0.0011 with mutual information-basedfeature selection and an MSE of 0.00157 without feature selection.KNN regressor outperformed the other models with an MSEof 0.00139 with correlation-based information selection. Theproposed landslide identification model with Random Forestalgorithm shows outstanding robustness and great potential intackling the landslide likelihood prediction by employing MLalgorithms.

Automated Collection of Scientific Publications Linked to NASA Earth Science Datasets

NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) began dataset Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration in 2012. The number of dataset DOIs registered as of January of 2023 exceeds 11,000. As the research community becomes aware of the importance of sharing data through Open Science and optimizing data reuse through Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR) data management principles, datasets are increasingly being cited in scientific publications. When datasets are cited explicitly by DOI within published works, automated methods can be developed for collecting these published works from a variety of bibliometric sources. The coverage of the sources varies, so each source can collect citations that are only available within it. Using major citation databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, the Google Scholar search engine, the CrossRef Open Citation Index, and the dataset DOI registry DataCite, we present an automated workflow for dataset citation collection. By harvesting citations automatically, a citation library is created explicitly linking EOSDIS datasets to publications that cite them. Using Zotero, a free and open-source citation manager, we demonstrate how to access and browse this library by the tags indicating bibliometric sources, dataset DOI, and the dataset archive center. We also demonstrate temporary trends in the number of publications harvested from bibliometric sources.

The Cloud: Obstacles and Barrier Encountered By Users

Increasing exposure to and adoption of the Earthdata Cloud yields new concerns from users include: financial resource allotment, steep learning curves, institutional support, and cloud-readiness of data. We present common concerns expressed by early cloud adopters, and encourage conference-goers to relay their own or users's experiences. We also encourage brainstorming for how open science principles can help solve some of the barriers and obstacles users encounter with the cloud.

How GES DISC is Opening Doors to Open Science

The NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) is one of 12 NASA Earth Observing System data centers that document, process, archive, and distribute data from Earth science missions and related projects. GES DISC hosts numerous Earth Science products through various data formats and supports their access with several programming and website tools. The User Needs team at GES DISC is responsible for producing tutorials and resources to teach these tools, collecting and engaging with user feedback, and collaborating with other NASA data centers to enable science creation for everyone. This poster presentation outlines how GES DISC, and the User Needs team, are committed to enabling open science.

Utilizing Google Scholar as a Bibliographic Resource for Publications Search

This study focuses on the automated search for publication citations for the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) datasets. The research investigates the feasibility of using automated search methods to gather published works from various bibliometric databases. A comparison is presented, highlighting the differences in citation counts obtained from Google Scholar compared to established bibliographic databases. The study also introduces a methodology and an open-source tool for getting publication citations from Google Scholar, utilizing dataset DOIs and keyword searches. The findings contribute to understanding the reliability and effectiveness of Google Scholar as a source for dataset citation retrieval and provide researchers with a valuable resource for obtaining comprehensive citation data.
