Research

Gretchen Stahlman’s current research projects investigate the characteristics and accessibility of data associated with published journal articles, with a particular interest in disparate and heterogeneous “long tail” data across disciplines, as well as the information behavior of scientists seeking to publish, locate and reuse such data. To address these research topics, Stahlman has participated in grant proposal writing and project activities for NSF-funded cyberinfrastructure development, while engaging with scientific communities through workshops, interviews, and surveying authors of published papers. The overall purpose of her present and future work is to inform open science and scholarly communication initiatives, as well as development of methods, services and infrastructures for long-term data curation and information retrieval.
