  • Data storageoccure during both the active phase of research and for longer-term preservation. If there isn’t a data repository in your institution, check to see if there are any external subject based repositories that might be a suitable home. BUT REMEMER! If you are planning to deposit data in a repository, check repository policies on the formats that are accepted before you begin. Make sure that any normalisation procedures will not affect the usability of the data.

    • 1. Digital curation: why managing andsharing data matters to universitiesSarah Jones and Joy DavidsonDigital Curation Centresarah.jones@glasgow.ac.ukjoy.davidson@glasgow.ac.uka LIASA HELIG webinar, 30th April 2013, www.liasa.org.za/node/977
    • 2. Digital Curation CentreJisc-funded consortium comprising units from the– Universities of Bath (UKOLN)– Edinburgh (DCC Centre)– Glasgow (HATII)Launched 1st March 2004 as a national centre for solving challengesin digital curation that could not be tackled by any single institution ordiscipline
    • 3. Overview of session: four brief modules1. Introduction to digital curation – how does researchdata management fit into the curation lifecycle?2. Benefits and drivers for research data management3. Review of current research data managementactivity in UK Universities4. What role does the library have to play in researchdata management?
    • 4. Please feel free to ask questions at anytime!• During the session you can ask questions.Simply type these into the chat box.• Questions will be gathered and speakers willrespond to selected questions at the end ofeach module.• There will be a chance for additional questionsat the end of the session.
    • 5. DIGITAL CURATION, PRESERVATIONAND RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT– AN INTRODUCTION
    • 6. An introduction to digital curation• What is digital curation?• What is the difference betweencuration, preservation and datamanagement?• What sort of activities are involved indigital curation?• Who should be involved in digitalcuration? 6
    • 7. “the active management and appraisal of dataover the lifecycle of scholarly and scientific interest”Data have importance as the evidential baseof scholarly conclusionsCuration is part of good research practiceWhat is data curation?
    • 8. Are data curation, preservation andmanagement different?• Lots of different terms being used - are thethey same or different?• Essentially, they are all part of the curationlifecycle
    • 9. Curation Lifecycle Model
    • 10. Key questions to consider:• what data will be created?• how much storage is needed?• where will data be stored in the short and longer term?• are there ethical issues that require consent?Many funders expect data management & sharing plans at thegrant application stage!Data Management Planning
    • 11. Key questions to consider:What information do users need to understand the data?- descriptions of all variables / fields and their values- code labels, classification schema, abbreviations list- information about the project and data creators- tips on usage e.g. exceptions, quirks, questionable resultsHow will this capture this and who will capture/record it?Are there standards that need to be followed?Metadata & documentation
    • 12. Key questions to consider:• What data must be kept? (for validation, etc)• What must not be kept? (e.g. personal data)• Is it worth keeping the data? – cost/benefits• Where will the data be kept?Selecting what to keep
    • 13. Storing dataKey questions to consider:What amount of storage is available for theactive phase?What facilities are needed in the active phase?- remote access to work from home- file sharing with others- high-levels of security for sensitive dataHow will the data be backed up?Where will data be stored for the longer-term?
    • 14. Institutional data repositoriesNot intended toreplacenational, subject orother establisheddata collectionsAcknowledge hybridenvironmenthttp://datashare.is.ed.ac.ukwww.dspace.cam.ac.uk/https://databank.ora.ox.ac.ukEssex-RDR andDataPool at Southampton

    • 23. Expectations of public access“Publicly funded research data are a publicgood, produced in the public interest, which shouldbe made openly available with as few restrictions aspossible in a timely and responsible manner thatdoes not harm intellectual property.”RCUK Common Principles on Data Policyhttp://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/Pages/DataPolicy.aspx

    • 26. Benefits of data sharing (1)www.nytimes.com/2010/08/13/health/research/13alzheimer.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0“It was unbelievable. Its not sciencethe way most of us have practiced inour careers. But we all realised thatwe would never get biomarkersunless all of us parked our egos andintellectual property noses outsidethe door and agreed that all of ourdata would be publicimmediately.”Dr John Trojanowski, University of Pennsylvania... scientific breakthroughs
    • 27. Benefits of data sharing (2)www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/apr/18/uncovered-error-george-osborne-austerity... validation of results“It was a mistake in a spreadsheet that could havebeen easily overlooked: a few rows left out of anequation to average the values in a column.The spreadsheet was used to draw the conclusionof an influential 2010 economics paper: that publicdebt of more than 90% of GDP slows down growth.This conclusion was later cited by the InternationalMonetary Fund and the UK Treasury to justifyprogrammes of austerity that have arguably led toriots, poverty and lost jobs.”
    • 28. Benefits of data sharing (3)“There is evidence that studies that make theirdata available do indeed receive more citationsthan similar studies that do not.”Piwowar H. and Vision T.J 2013 "Data reuse and the open datacitation advantage“ https://peerj.com/preprints/1.pdf9% - 30% increase... more citations

The fullrange of responsibilities associated with data curationover the data lifecycle will be clearly allocated...”www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/Pages/expectations.aspx...institutional responsibility
