Given a landscape in...
Objective: Best practices such as the FAIR Principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) were developed to ensure that published datasets are reusable. While we employ best practices in the curation of datasets, we want to learn how domain experts view the reusability of datasets in our institutional repository, ScholarsArchive@OSU. Curation workflows...
Data Management Plans (DMPs) have been used in the last decade to encourage good data management practices among researchers. DMPs are widely used, preventive tools that encourage good data management practices. DMPs are traditionally used to manage data during the planning stage of the project, often required for grant proposals,...
Els grups d’investigació d’arreu del món són cada cop més interdisciplinaris i heterogenis, i generen cada cop més dades.

La quantitat de dades, els formats en què s’emmagatzemen, els...
В 2017 году исследователи из УниБИТ присоединились к международной научной группе для проведения исследования „Компетенции в области управления научно-исследовательскими данными“, которое целит получение информации о компетентностях в области управления научно-исследовательскими данными преподавательского состава в ВУЗах. В докладе обобщены выводы проведенного в марте 2017 года базированного в сети Интернет анкетированного исследования...
