Want practical tips and resources to improve your management of research data? On 23 February 2017 this free LIBER webinar focused on the 23 Things list: a set of free, online resources and tools that you can immediately use to change how you manage research data. Developed in August 2015 by librarians engaged in the Research Data Alliance (RDA), the 23 Things program was created as a training resource for librarians, It has been translated into 11 languages and covers topics related to research data such as data management plans, data literacy, metadata, data citation, data licensing and privacy, data repositories, and communities of practice. In March 2016, the concept was expanded into a 23-week, national training and community-building program led by the Australian National Data Service. The program was an immediate success. Over 1,200 people participated in the launch webinar and 50 local community groups were formed (in person or virtually), to learn a new ‘thing’ to improve their research data practice. This webinar explored the content of both the 23 Things resource from RDA, and introduced the in-depth, 23-week training program as an opportunity for professional development and wider adoption and evaluation. The webinar was organised by LIBER's Working Group on Scientific Information Infrastructures and featured two guests: -- Michael Witt, Associate Professor of Library Science & Head, Distributed Data Curation Center, Purdue University, USA -- Natasha Simons, Senior Research Data Management Specialist, Australian National Data Service, Australia 23 things : http://www.ands.org.au/partners-and-communities/23-research-data-things

Editor's Notes
- The program developed by the RDA team inspired a small group of Australian librarians and information specialists to create an Australian version of the program called ‘23 (research data) Things’ (ANDS, 2016). Co-ordinated by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS, 2016), this program was designed to build capability and a community of practice around research data management. It expands on the RDA model by challenging participants to ‘do’ 23 Things that will build their confidence and experience with research data management. Like the RDA model, the 23 Things are grouped into several topics including rights, ethics and sensitive data, repositories for data,metadata and crosswalks, data citation and impact. The program is paced for participants to undertake 1 Thing per week to complete all 23 Things over several months. To accommodate a variety of capabilities and learning styles, a choice of 3 activities is provided for each Thing. Participants may be asked to critique a video, comment on a short paper, use a free online tool or search for resources. It is intended to be a hands-on learning program. As they work through each of the 23 Things, participants are encouraged to share their questions, ideas and learnings with others involved in the program through a dedicated online discussion forum, local community groups, webinars and social media. The program was supported by the Australian Library and Information Association (a professional body representing librarians) and the Council of Australian University Librarians (representing librarians in the higher education sector). Uptake of the 23 Things was beyond our wildest dreams…
- Aimed at anyone interested in learning more about data management – target group: librarians & research support staff Participants asked to ‘do’ one Thing each week at their own pace then discuss at community group or via online ‘meet up’ boards. New Thing released a week or two in advance + some break weeks. No pressure - do all 23 Things or only the ones of interest. No sign up. Input into development of the Things from the library community Regular calls with community group leaders Ran crash courses and sprint to the finish courses ANDS staff monitored meet up boards along with special guests e.g. license expert Supported by ALIA and CAUL Bookmarks and stickers! ANDS catch up webinars Ran over March to November 2016 Can be re-purposed (will get to this later in the talk)
- Each Thing offered at three levels: Getting Started Know more Challenge me Thing 4: Data discovery [Introductory background statement] Click on this RDA record from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre: Weddell seals in Antarctica Have a close look at the record to see the ways the Australian Antarctic Division has made this record discoverable and accessible. Note how many times this dataset has been cited and how to cite this data. We will look at data citation in more detail in Thing 7. Spend a few minutes exploring RDA. Try browsing or searching on a topic of interest. See which institutions contribute metadata records to RDA. Explore a record or two in depth. Consider: the future impact of having a national research data catalogue. Do you have a question? Want to share a resource?
- webinar = national community groups = contextualised learning crash courses = cross institutional and enabled people to learn quickly
- Statistics from 1 September
- 23(research data)Things has been truly embraced by the global community. The initial crowd sourcing of the “Things” was from an international community. Nearly a thousand people from over 10 countries registered for the initial kick off webinar where we explained the program. Part of the program has been the encouragement of the creation of local groups or communities of practice around data. We know of nearly 50 groups that have formed, either within in a workplace or institution, or at a geographical location or around a certain subdomain of data, in particular the virtual health and medical 23 things community. We have encouraged this by providing the contact details of the groups on our website. We have also supported these communities with regular webinars for the leaders of the groups. For the whole community we have encouraged networking and community involvement by forming these local groups, promoting a Twitter #23RDThings hashtag, establishing a national forum using MeetUp, augmented with regular virtual catch ups, and sent out a fortnightly “what’s happening “ newsletter, run the Crash courses and the Sprint to the finish events. So who has been doing 23 Things? This map is as of May 2016, and shows members of the over 600 strong MeetUp community. We can see lots of locations in Australia and a good spread across New Zealand. There’s activity elsewhere in the English speaking world, with a couple of participants in Asia, Middle East and Africa. Since this map was drawn we have also added participants in Germany. This is just from MeetUp. If we look at the people who have joined our mailing list we have emails from another 5 or 6 countries. We have also provided a bunch of other resources and incentives including Credly badges, bookmarks and posters that can be used to help promote 23 (research data) Things. Many of the local groups have used their own incentives many of which seem to involve cake
- changed staff engagement with clients: Staff are more eager to engage researchers in conversation now -or-- My confidence to discuss research data management with experts, students and data librarians has grown need for variety and challenge - online does not work for a long sustained change in community -- I liked the range of resources eg videos, documents and data records covering different disciples
- Add What did Managers think? this is key to this group - great for individuals but what would an investment in this program result in? As the 23T program came to a close: 39% of respondents indicated they had plans in place to expand the level of library staff participation in research data management 33% had no plans at that time 72% of respondents intend to continue supporting professional development opportunities in research data management for their library staff
- The shift of individual capability has been extensive. Several participants commented that they were able to develop their data management skills because the program was free, online, flexible and multilevel. More than 80% of respondents now regard themselves as ‘knowledgeable’ or ‘very knowledgeable’, up from just over 10% at the beginning of the program 30% are now confident enough to apply for positions involving research data 13% are considering enrolling in a University course to get a formal data qualification This represents a timely opportunity for managers to leverage newly developed skills and confidence to implement or further develop research data management support services.
- While the program is still underway, our ongoing evaluation suggests an opportunity to build on the 23 (research data) Things program by: repackaging the resources developed for new uses and audiences; encouraging others to repurpose the resources to meet specific institutional, discipline or community needs; running follow on programs during 2017 that will further develop knowledge and skills developed during the 23 (research data) Things program.
- Use the ‘Master File’ of all 23 Things (69 pages!) Contextualize 23T for your discipline e.g. Top 10 Things for Medical and Health now available Put on a crash course and sprint to the finish course – lesson plans available Customise 23T for your institution – include your own services and examples Select a few Things that could be offered as a 1 hour workshop word doc Top Ten health and medical Listen in program (will get it up on the web on Monday) crash course and sprint lesson plans Master file of all 23 Things Includes all the Getting started, Learn more, and Challenge me activities to reuse and edit (69 pages).
