The backscattering properties of marine phytoplankton, which are assumed to vary widely with differences in size, shape, morphology and internal structure, have been directly measured in the laboratory on a very limited basis. This work presents results from laboratory analysis of the backscattering properties of thirteen phytoplankton species from five...

Sharing of research data has begun to gain traction in many areas of the sciences in the past few years because of changing expectations from the scientific community, funding agencies, and academic journals. National Science Foundation (NSF) requirements for a data management plan (DMP) went into effect in 2011, with...
An analysis of Data Management Plans (DMPs) can offer insight into local data management practices. The IMLS- funded “Data management plans as A Research Tool (DART) Project” has developed an analytic rubric to assist librarians in facilitating and standardizing the review of DMPs. This panel will consist of data specialists...
The particle size distribution (PSD) is a critical aspect of the oceanic ecosystem. Local variability in the PSD can be indicative of shifts in microbial community structure and reveal patterns in cell growth and loss. The PSD also plays a central role in particle export by influencing settling speed. Satellite-based...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how knowledge of local research data management (RDM) practices critically informs the progressive development of research data services (RDS) after basic services have already been established. Design/methodology/approach – An online survey was distributed via e-mail to all university faculty in...

INTRODUCTION: As data-driven research becomes the norm, practical knowledge in data stewardship is critical for researchers. Despite its growing importance, formal education in research data management (RDM) is rare at the university level. Academic librarians are now playing a leadership role in developing and providing RDM training and support to...

To provide research data management (RDM) support services, libraries need to develop expertise in data curation and management within the library. Many academic libraries are reorganizing to initiate RDM service structures, but may lack staff expertise in this area. Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding...
Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding proposals, which describe how data generated in the proposed work will be managed, preserved and shared. Data management plans are a rich source of information about an institution’s researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and needs....

Data management plans (DMPs) are a rich source of information about researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and practices. Systematic analysis of DMPs can uncover important insights about local RDM needs, which can then inform the development or expansion of library RDM services. As part of an...
Research data has gained wider acceptance as important scholarly products in and of themselves, and funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), have introduced requirements for Data Management Plans (DMPs) and data archiving. Accordingly, academic and research libraries are devoting significant consideration, effort, and resources toward expanding their...
This presentation is Amanda Whitmire's contribution to the hour-long panel. This panel was co-presented by Heather Coates (IUPUI) and Jenny Muilenburg (U. Washington).
Academic libraries that offer digital asset management systems (DAMS) and services such as an institutional repository, data curation services, and digitization of historic documents face the need to assess and refine services. This need can be most apparent when considering changes to DAMS infrastructure. The proposed panel presents the experiences...
A panel of speakers from three universities explored their challenges and progress in building programs to support research data management, whether within the library system or with research offices or computing groups. Since 2012 Oregon State University has partnered with its research office and graduate school, helping students prepare data...
A final report on activities related to a professional development activity titled, "Professional development in data curation". The Lundeen Award enabled me to attend the ICPSR workshop "Curating and Managing Research Data for Re-Use." The objective was to build professional capacity within OSUL&P that would empower us to achieve our...
Academic libraries play an increasingly important role in providing research data services to faculty and students at universities around the world. One of the major challenges for libraries involves the appropriate scoping of services to meet a broad range of researcher needs. Oregon State University Libraries have developed a model...
In response to the burgeoning practice of collaborative, networked, data-intensive research (known as eScience), university and research libraries are devoting significant consideration, effort and resources toward expanding their responsibilities to include research data services. The jargon that the librarianship community uses to discuss data-driven research is inconsistent and confusing, especially...
This is the PowerPoint (PDF) file for a 60-minute workshop for graduate students covering data management best practices. Topics covered include general recommendations for data management in terms of planning, data description (metadata), file formats and naming conventions, ethics and consent, copyright, and sharing and archiving of data. The workshop...
The Strategic Agenda for Research Data Services will guide the development of data services at OSU Libraries from January 2013 to June 2014. The Strategic Agenda is informed by best practices in data management at peer universities. Major elements of the Strategic Agenda include an instructional program on data management,...
As data-driven science becomes the norm, academic libraries face the challenge of redefining our roles in information management. We suggest that developing a robust, high-quality education program centered on data management should be a top priority for libraries at all academic research institutions. Strategically positioning the library in the role...
