    Meeting objectives
    The focus of the P19 Plenary session of the RDA Physical Samples and Collections in the Research Data Ecosystem Interest Group (PSACIRDE-IG) is on harmonising citation, acknowledgment and credit for physical samples and specimens in Scholarly Publications. Samples and specimen citation is a complex topic in publications, and has to also involve giving credit to and acknowledgment to those who either collected, curated and/or funded a physical sample/specimen. Currently journal editors have varying recommendations for referencing any physical sample/specimen cited in a research paper, and there are differing ways for both listing and positioning identifiers in a publication. Particularly where a research paper is underpinned by hundreds, if not thousands of samples/specimens most journals either do not or cannot provide enough space for listing all materials examined in a sufficiently detailed manner that the source of each sample referenced can be consistently cited and enable the creator/curator funder to be acknowledged 
    The objectives of this session is to raise awareness of: 

    Draft guidelines that have been developed by the ESIP Physical Samples Cluster for proper and consistent citation in a publication that can make samples/specimens more accessible for reuse, and help support the reproducibility; and

    Preliminary work on giving credit and acknowledgements to those who collected, managed, curated and/or funded any sample/specimen during its lifecycle starting at its creation/collection through to its curation/preservation in a trustworthy repository.
