Part of “Beyond metadata: Supporting non-standardized documentation to facilitate data reuse”
This document outlines best practices for creating research data. [1] It recommends using consistent data organization with standardized formats and descriptive file names. [2] Researchers should perform quality assurance checks and use scripted programs to analyze data while keeping notes. [3] All aspects of data collection and analysis should be thoroughly documented. Following these practices will improve data usability, sharing, and reproducibility.
A scientific database is an electronic index of bibliographic records, often containing citations, abstracts, and full text of journal or magazine articles. They are created using tools like web servers, database management systems, and programming languages. Scientific databases are useful for improving data quality, reducing costs, enabling long-term studies, and allowing data synthesis. They must contain wanted, up-to-date, complete data presented attractively and compatibly for their users. Examples include forensic DNA databases and geographical databases.
Using a Case Study to Teach Data Management to LibrariansSherry Lake
This document outlines the agenda and learning objectives for a workshop on research data management for libraries. The workshop uses a case study approach and hands-on activities to teach librarians best practices for data collection, organization, documentation, backup/storage, and sharing/preservation. The goal is to prepare librarians to teach researchers about data management and illustrate opportunities for library involvement in the area. Based on a survey after the workshop, most attendees felt their expectations were met or exceeded, and they found the hands-on case study activities and practical tips to be most useful.
This poster presents guidelines for researchers to improve reproducibility in scientific research by better documenting the key entities of research: data, software, workflow, and research output. It recommends documenting data sources and processing steps, writing descriptive code with examples, and using tools like Docker, Jupyter notebooks, LaTeX, and data repositories to capture the experimental environment and research process. Following these guidelines helps researchers communicate and verify their work, allowing others to build on their research findings.
This presentation discusses managing research data through the data life cycle. It begins with an overview of the research life cycle and embedding the data life cycle within it. Key aspects of data management are then covered, including why manage data, ethical and legal issues, requirements for data sharing and retention, and creating a data management plan. The rest of the presentation delves into each stage of the data life cycle, providing best practices for data collection, organization, security, storage, documentation, processing, analysis, and long-term preservation or sharing. File formats, metadata, repositories, and bibliographic resources are also addressed.

The challenge of sharing data well, how publishers can helpVarsha Khodiyar
Researchers, academic institutes and funders are increasingly recognizing the importance of data sharing for reproducible science. However, it is not always straightforward and clear to researchers as to how best to share data in a useful way. At Springer Nature we are working on several initiatives to help facilitate the sharing of research data in a reusable way, with our overarching goal being to publish research that is robust and reproducible. I will talk about the effort that goes into our flagship data journal, Scientific Data, to facilitate best practices in publication and sharing of research data, and share some of our experiences publishing Challenge datasets. I will also describe some of the newer Research Data Services that are now available to help all researchers (not only Springer Nature authors) to share their data in a useful way.
This document discusses several topics that will drive the future of digital libraries, including data management plans, data citation, curation service models, sustainability, training data practitioners, and more. Specific issues covered include scientific data support, data identifiers, curation best practices, cost models, educating librarians in data management, and the role of digital libraries in enabling reproducible science through 2050.
This document discusses research data management services at the University of Western Australia (UWA). It provides information on the Institutional Research Data Store (IRDS), a no-cost research data storage option for UWA researchers that provides 25GB of secure storage. It also discusses requirements for research data management and sharing from funding bodies like the Australian Research Council, and options for making data available through UWA's Research Data Online platform. Contact information is provided for the Research Data Coordinator for any questions.
The document discusses using computer software to analyze qualitative data, describing different types of analysis software and their functions. It also provides examples of research studies that used various computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software packages like MS Word, NVivo, and NUD*IST to code and analyze interview transcripts, field notes, and other qualitative data sources. The document emphasizes that the choice of software depends on the researcher's methodology, data types and amount, and analysis approach.

Improving Integrity, Transparency, and Reproducibility Through Connection of ...Andrew Sallans
The Center for Open Science (COS) was founded as a non-profit technology start-up in 2013 with the goal of improving transparency and reproducibility by connecting the scholarly workflow. COS achieves this goal through the development of a free, open source web application called the Open Science Framework (OSF), providing features like file sharing and citing, persistent urls, provenance tracking, and automated versioning. Initial workflow API connections focused on storage services and included Figshare, GitHub, Amazon S3, Dropbox, and Dataverse. The team is now working to connect other parts of the workflow with services like DMPTool, Databib/re3data, and Databrary. This session will introduce the core architecture and the problems that it solves, and illustrate how connecting services can benefit everyone involved in supporting the research ecosystem. COS is funded through the generosity of grants from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, the John Templeton Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Association of Research Libraries, and others.

The explosion in growth of the Web of Linked Data has provided, for the first time, a plethora of information in disparate locations, yet bound together by machine-readable, semantically typed relations. Utilisation of the Web of Data has been, until now, restricted to the members of the community, eating their own dogfood, so to speak. To the regular web user browsing Facebook and watching YouTube, this utility is yet to be realised. The primary factor inhibiting uptake is the usability of the Web of Data, where users are required to have prior knowledge of elements from the Semantic Web technology stack. Our solution to this problem is to hide the stack, allowing end users to browse the Web of Data, explore the information it contains, discover knowledge, and use Linked Data. We propose a template-based visualisation approach where information attributed to a given resource is rendered according to the rdf:type of the instance.

Incentivising the uptake of reusable metadata in the survey production processLouise Corti
This document discusses incentivizing the uptake of reusable metadata in survey production. It notes that there is no universal language used to document survey questions and variables, leading to wasted resources. The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is proposed as a standard. Barriers to adopting metadata best practices include legacy systems, manual processes, and reluctance to change. The document outlines ideas to incentivize metadata use such as specifying documentation requirements in funding calls and improving documentation tools and workflows. Showing tangible benefits through applications like question banks and data exploration systems is also suggested.

Flying solo: data librarians working outside (traditional) librariesJane Frazier
I used these slides for my portion of the "Flying Solo" ANDS webinar:
Did you know there are data librarians who work outside of (traditional) libraries? For some, being a data librarian means leaving the relative comfort of the library behind and ‘flying solo’ into unchartered territory. These are new and demanding roles that require a steep learning curve with minimal support. In this webinar, three data librarians working outside of libraries will share their experience of going it alone, reflecting on these challenging yet rewarding roles that push the boundaries of librarianship and open new opportunities for the profession.
Siobhann McCafferty is based at QUT’s Institute for Future Environments in Brisbane and is the Research Data Coordinator for the National Agricultural Nitrous Oxide Research Program (NANORP). She is embedded in the Healthy Ecosystems and Environmental Management group at IFE and works with researchers from across Australia to store program data and make it discoverable and reusable.
Jane Frazier is a Data Librarian at ANDS. She has previously worked in the University of North Carolina Music Library cataloging 20th century American vocal sheet music, as curatorial assistant at the Dryad digital repository, and at the UNC Metadata Research Center exploring automatic subject indexing processes for Dryad.

RDAP 15: “This is just for me”: Researchers on their data documentation pract...ASIS&T
This document summarizes a panel discussion on researchers' data documentation practices. It finds that metadata is often not sufficient because data itself is messy and domain-specific. Researchers in different disciplines like chemistry, ecology, computer science, microbiology, and earth sciences approach documentation differently based on norms and needs within their fields. For example, chemists use numbering systems and documentation protocols while microbiologists emphasize keeping detailed lab notebooks. The document concludes more interviews are needed to better understand disciplinary practices and tailor library services accordingly.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

3. • Relatively low usage, with a few exceptions
• Electronic theses and dissertations; musical scores
• Needed to think about changing software
• Usability research never focused on metadata
• Metadata form was challenging for users
• Data can be deposited to UR Research, but it wasn’t a focus
of the repository design process

5. Scoping down to data…
For your purposes, what does a data repository need to do?
Producers / Reusers
Data curation profiles
Walk-throughs of existing systems
Staff
IR situation analysis
Interviews (informal)
What systems match those needs?
6. What contextual information is needed to
effectively support reuse?
What resources can we devote to developing and
maintaining our repository?
…looking back out to library context
What use cases / user needs are in and out of
scope?
Should data be treated the same as other scholarly
resources in the IR?
What is the library’s strategic vision for data?
User context
IT service model
Library strategic plan

• Nora Dimmock, Asst Dean for IT
• Marcy Strong, Head of Cataloging
• Kathleen Fear, Data librarian
9. Conflict and consensus
• What contextual information supports reuse
of these images serving multiple goals
(artistic, political, documentary, etc.)?
• Where are instances of conflict in what
repository staff and different users prioritize?
How can these conflicts be resolved?
Editor's Notes
Rochester’s emphasis on user-centered repository design = good fit for context-driven approach to data curation
Base assumptions
Step 1: identify stakeholders and the designated community

Trying to find the edges of our designated community. We aren’t and can’t be a disciplinary repository, so whose needs are in scope and whose are out?
What we got was huge diversity, and a range of systems that could do some, but not all of the needs – you can do anything, but you can’t do everything.
Attempting to focus in on user context for data blew us back out to look at the library context for the repository.
In order to interpret and implement the things users tell us they need, we need to have clear justification for who we determine are users. When building a repository that necessarily serves a very broad and very diverse set of users, there will always be competing priorities. Previous repository has a gazillion metadata fields, 99% of them optional, and they’re a major barrier.
