PUBLICATION OF RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT IN OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL ANALYSIS BASED ON SCOPUS DATA

The study aims to determine: (1) the number of open access resources for research data management publications indexed by Scopus, including the year of publication, source of publication, authors, institutions, countries, types of documents and funding agencies; (2) mapping research data management based on keywords. The results of the study showed that the number of open access resources for research data management publications has started since 1981 and the number has continued to increase starting in 2014 and the highest number occurred in 2019, namely 49 publications. The most publicized journals that open access to research data management was the Data Science Journal, which was 11 publications. The most productive author of conducting research data management publications was Cox, A.M. and Pinfield, S. The largest institutions contributing to the publication of open access research data management were the University of Toronto and New York University. The countries that contributed the most were the United States with 50 publications, then China with 38 publications. The most open access research data management in the form of articles as many as 107 and 37 conference paper publications. The institutions that provided the most funding sponsors were the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the National Science Foundation. The results of keyword mapping with VOSViewer showed that big data, research data management, information management, data management, medical research topics, software, information processing, and metadata were the most researched topics

第2回国際極域データフォーラム（Polar Data Forum Ⅱ）並びに関連会合報告

2015年10月27-29日にカナダ・ウォータールー大学で，第2回国際極域データフォーラム（Polar Data Forum Ⅱ）が開催された．2013年10月に東京で開催した国際極域データフォーラム（International Forum on “Polar Data Activities in Global Data Systems”）を継続し，両極での地球科学データの蓄積と公開，それらを活用した研究成果とデータの利活用に関する議論の場として，南極科学委員会（SCAR）下の南極データマネジメント委員会（SC-ADM），並びに国際北極科学委員会（IASC）下の北極データ委員会（ADC）の共催により企画された．Polar Data Forum ⅡにはSCAR・IASC 関係者をはじめ，汎地球規模のデータ関連組織の関係者，計109名（15カ国）が参加し，SC-ADM やADC の年次会合を持つとともに，極域データの管理運営に関する今後の指針を検討した．The Second Polar Data Forum (＂Polar Data ForumⅡ＂) was held on October 27-29, 2015 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada to build on the successes of the first Polar Data Forum held in October 2013 in Tokyo, Japan. Polar Data Forum Ⅱ further refined the themes and priorities regarding polar data management and accelerated progress by establishing clear actions to address the target issues, including meeting the needs of society and science through the promotion of open access data and effective data stewardship, establishing the sharing and interoperability of data at various levels, developing reliable data management systems, and ensuring the long-term preservation of data. The forum was attended by 109 participants from 15 countries, in conjunction with the scheduled annual meetings of the Arctic Data Committee (ADC) of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and the Standing Committee on Antarctic Data Management (SC-ADM) of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). Polar Data Forum Ⅱ, together with SC-ADM and ADC annual meetings, proved to be important for showcasing polar data initiatives, for learning from global partners, and working collaboratively to continue developing an international vision and action plan

Metadata Management at the Polar Data Centre of the National Institute of Polar Research, Japan

The Polar Data Centre of the National Institute of Polar Research has had the responsibility to manage the data for Japan as a National Antarctic Data Centre for the last two decades. During the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2008, a considerable number of multidisciplinary metadata that mainly came from IPY-endorsed projects involving Japanese activities were compiled by the data centre. Although long-term stewardship of those amalgamated metadata falls to the data centre, the efforts are in collaboration with the Global Change Master Directory, the Polar Information Commons, and the newly established World Data System of the International Council for Science
