In this preprint, I investigate the simultaneous use of multiple metadata schemas at research data repositories. The analysis covers how eight disciplinary research data repositories from the geosciences and social sciences use disciplinary metadata schemas and the @datacite@openbiblio.social Metadata Schema, and how two metadata records describing the same dataset compare.

This @QSS_ISSI@scicomm.xyz paper analyzes the scope, structure, curation, mappings and use of 45 knowledge organization systems (KOS) for academic fields:

https://doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00363

It provides a useful overview of KOS and identifies gaps: The findings show that there is a lack of field-specific KOS in certain areas, and that "there is currently no existing multifield KOS that simultaneously is comprehensive in topic coverage, granular, consistently updated, and openly accessible."

This preprint observes a citation advantage of papers reusing more than one dataset, based on publications reusing ICPSR datasets:
http://arxiv.org/abs/2402.05024

"Papers that used more than one dataset garnered 22%, 15%, and 15% more citations over 3, 5, and 10 years relative to papers that used a single dataset." The effect is higher for datasets that are rarely used in combination.
