This document discusses re3data.org, a global registry of research data repositories. It was created to help researchers, funders, publishers, and institutions find appropriate repositories to store and share research data. The registry launched in 2012 and currently lists over 300 research data repositories from around the world. Each repository is described using a standardized metadata schema with 37 criteria covering aspects like access, file types, certification, and geographic coverage. The goal of the registry is to promote a culture of open data sharing and increased access to research findings. It aims to help address the challenges of the growing number and heterogeneity of research data repositories.

re3data.org – a Registry of Research Data Repositories

Heinz Pampel

re3data.org is a global registry of research data repositories that aims to promote open sharing of research data. It indexes repositories from all academic disciplines to help researchers, funders, publishers, and institutions find appropriate places to store and share research data. The registry has grown significantly since its founding and now indexes over 1,000 repositories. It is a collaborative effort between several German and American institutions and works with other organizations to advance open data policies.

Research Data Management from a Software Engineering Perspective

Sarah Anna Stewart

This document discusses unlocking thesis data by making it openly available online. It notes the benefits of doing so for students, funders, institutions, and researchers. It also provides examples of case studies from several universities that have assigned digital object identifiers (DOIs) to student theses to make them easily identifiable and citable. The document seeks feedback on what systems can be used to create and use persistent identifiers for thesis data and what type of data should or could be deposited online.

Evolving Strategies for Open Access Implementation: Some Findings from the Op...

OpenAIRE

A year an a half into its implementation, the EC post-grant funding initiative for FP7 projects run under the OpenAIRE2020 project is already producing some findings, both in the area of APC-based Gold Open Access and in providing support to APC-free Open Access journals and platforms. While exploring the rather fragmented Open Access landscape across Europe, this presentation will look into the evolution of the multiple parallel strategies for Open Access implementation under the light of the work carried out within this post-grant funding initiative. It's argued that a widespread progress will require support for the different co-existing strategies. This presentation was delivered at the PUBMET2016 conference in Zadar, Croatia, http://pubmet.unizd.hr/

Research data management and data support

Mari Elisa Kuusniemi

Research data management infrastructure is an essential platform for 21st century research. The FAIR Data Principles provide guidelines for data management by making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable. Data management plans help researchers manage their data according to the FAIR principles. The University of Helsinki provides data support services like guides, consultation, training, and workshops to help researchers create and manage their data effectively.

SOC2002 Lecture 6

Bonnie Green

This document provides guidance on collecting and using secondary data for social research. It discusses factors to consider such as who originally collected the data and for what purpose, and how to evaluate the reliability and validity of secondary sources. The document recommends checking available secondary data sources through the Economic and Social Data Service and outlines some key UK datasets. It also covers practicalities of accessing secondary data like procedures, delivery formats, and ethical responsibilities of data storage.

Horizon 2020: Outline of a Pilot for Open Research Data

LIBER Europe

The European Commission is developing an Open Data Pilot. This pilot will look at research data generated in projects funded under the Horizon 2020 framework, with the aim of stimulating the data-sharing culture among researchers and facilitating both the re-use of information and data-driven science. As organisations with a strong interest in Open Data, OpenAIRE, LIBER and COAR have assessed the current situation and made recommendations for an effective Open Data Pilot.

User Engagement in Research Data Curation

University of Edinburgh

This document discusses challenges with curating and sharing research data to support reuse. It notes that while the amount of digital research data being created is growing rapidly, current systems for preserving data are not optimally designed with input from researchers. Researchers have various concerns about openly sharing their data that need to be addressed. Studies found that engaging researchers early and building trusted relationships is important for developing effective data curation solutions tailored to different research practices and disciplines.

Institutional Repositories

NIFT

Institutional repositories provide open access to scholarly works created by a university's researchers and community. They allow for increased visibility, preservation and sharing of research. Content typically includes articles, theses, reports and other materials. Repositories offer benefits like increased citations and supporting funder open access policies. Many countries now fund repository programs to encourage participation and network infrastructure.

RDM initiatives

Sarah Jones

This document discusses the importance of research data management (RDM) initiatives for universities. It provides examples of how universities in the UK are developing RDM services and policies to support researchers in managing their data according to funder and legal requirements. This includes developing RDM roadmaps and strategies, guidance webpages, training programs, support for data management planning, data storage infrastructure, and institutional data repositories. National programs like the Digital Curation Centre and Jisc are helping to build universities' capabilities in RDM.
