Research Data Management Group Strategic Agenda (Fall 2019-Summer 2021): Final Report

Between Summer Fall 2019 - Summer 2021, Albertsons Library’s Research Data Management Group worked on implementing a strategic agenda. This document is a report of the activities undertaken in response to that plan. In particular, the group reports its progress related to team development, outreach and marketing, and the development of tools and resources

University of Strathclyde Research Publications Guidance

The University of Strathclyde’s Vision 2025 strategy (2020-2025) sets out expectations for the future citation impact of Strathclyde research, as well as Strathclyde’s ambition towards ‘fully open access publishing’ and FAIR open data. This guidance therefore formalises Strathclyde’s institutional commitment to the effective management of research publications by Strathclyde researchers and, in furtherance of Strathclyde’s strategic ambitions, seeks to ensure best practice is observed by researchers when publishing and managing scholarly communication more generally. Such best practice will ensure that individual authors also benefit from maximising their potential citation impact

Considering these questions about your data before you begin a research project will save you time and effort, and will improve the quality of your data

Scholarly Communications & Data Management Tip Sheet: The Research Data Lifecycle

The research data lifecycle encompasses the data-related activities that take place during a research project. Proper management of research data supports efficient research and safeguards data for future access and use

Scholarly Communications & Data Management Tip Sheet: Funder Requirements for Data Management & Sharing

The NSF, DOJ, NASA, NEH, NIH, USDA, USGS, and nearly all other federal funders require that you manage and share the data produced during a research project. Many state and private funders have similar requirements. This involves organizing, describing, analyzing, and storing research data, as well as any other information necessary to replicate the study. At the end of the project, data must be deposited into a data repository (for example ScholarWorks, Boise State’s Institutional Repository)

The “data deluge” in the sciences—the ability to create massive streams of digital data—has been discussed at great length in the academic and lay press. The ability with which scientists can now produce data has transformed scientific practice so that creating data is now less of a challenge in many disciplines than making use of, properly analyzing, and properly storing such data. Two aspects of the data deluge are not as widely appreciated. One is that the data deluge is not contained simply to the sciences. Humanities scholars and artists are generating data at prodigious rates as well through massive scanning projects, digitization of still photographs, video, and music, and the creation of new musical and visual art forms that are inherently digital. A second factor that is not well appreciated is that data collected now is potentially valuable forever. The genomic DNA sequences of a particular organism are what they are. They are known precisely. Or, more properly, the sequences of the contigs that are assembled to create the sequence are known precisely, while there may be dispute about the proper assembly. Such data will be of value indefinitely – and for example to the extent that we wonder if environmental changes are changing the population genetics of various organisms, data on the frequency of particular genetic variations in populations will be of value indefinitely. Similarly, video and audio of an American folk musician, a speaker of an endangered language or a ballet performance will be of value indefinitely although argument might well go on regarding the interpretation and annotation of that video and audio. Such images and associated audio can never be recreated, and are thus of use indefinitely. In 2005 then-Vice President Michael A. McRobbie commissioned a Cyberinfrastructure Research Taskforce to provide advice as regards Indiana University's cyberinfrastructure plans and goals
