title: Enabling Easier Discovery with a Controlled Vocabulary for iPres papers
creators: Maureen Pennock Andy Jackson Nancy Y McGovern
abstract: <p>Many iPRES papers often receive relatively few citations, indicating low levels of re-use. Whilst these low levels of usage cannot be attributed to a single reason, inconsistent approaches to sharing, publishing, and describing papers over the past twenty years have not helped. This poster abstract goes some way to explore a solution for more consistent description of papers, facilitating their findability and thus their potential for re-usability, by proposing a controlled vocabulary for iPRES submissions. Pending discussion with the community during iPRES and subsequent refinement of terms, the results (along with a user guide to facilitate consistent implementation) will be suggested to the iPRES Steering Group as a proposal for future events&nbsp;</p>
