Data citation, management and discovery are important to ANSTO, the Australian Synchrotron and the scientists that use them. Gone are the days when raw data is written to a removable media and subsequently lost. The metadata catalogue *MyTardis is being used by both ANSTO and the Australian Synchrotron. Metadata is harvested from the neutron beam and X-ray instruments raw experimental files and catalogued in databases that are local to the facilities. The data is accessible via a web portal. Data policies are applied to embargo data prior to placing data in the public domain. Public domain data is published to the Australian Research Data Commons using the OAI-PMH standard. The Commons is run by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS), who was the project sponsor. The Commons is a web robot friendly site. ANDS also sponsors digital object identifiers (DOI) for deposited datasets, which allows raw data to now be a first class research output, allowing scientists that collect data to gain recognition in the same way as those who publish journal articles. Data is being discovered, cited, reused and collaborations initiated through the Commons.
