No-Nonsense, Practical Guide to Implementing Effective Data Practices
Maria Praetzellis
Presentation 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Data curation, discovery, reuse, and citation are accelerating scholarship across diverse fields and disciplines, but fall far short of the potential. Stakeholders across campuses are asked to “do better” at managing research data outputs. Often this comes with jargon-filled mandates that are difficult to translate into concrete action. In the summer of 2019, NSF published a clear, concrete call [...]
RADDAR: Research as Design—Design as Research
Cinthya Ippoliti, Kay Bjornen
Presentation 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Managing research data is challenging for researchers and academic libraries are expanding their services to help support them. Library surveys have been conducted to understand researcher behavior, motivation, and habits related to data management, but they have some limitations: surveys condense complex issues to a few broad categories that may not be applicable to researchers even within the [...]
Meeting the Challenges for Data Curation and Access in Lock Down
Deborah Wiltshire, Alix Taylor
Presentation 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked even greater demand for high-quality social, economic, and health data to assist our understanding of the virus and the social and economic impact of the pandemic. The UK has a wealth of high-quality data collections, many of which have reacted quickly to COVID-19. This pace is unprecedented and the challenge has been to ensure that both the data quality and [...]
Adapting to Faculty and Student Needs for Data and Support for Social Justice and Other Projects
Sarah Norris, Corinne Bishop, Sandy Avila, et al.
Presentation 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
During 2020, the need for access and equity has been more important than ever, particularly with data. At the University of Central Florida (UCF), a group of librarians representing various library units, including Research & Information Services, Scholarly Communication, and Technology Solutions & Digital Initiatives has been engaged in data services and outreach forming a working group [...]
Update on the Data Curation Network
Jonathan Petters, Wanda R Marsolek
Lightning Talk 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Begun in 2016, the Data Curation Network is a network of US research data curators who pool their expertise to improve the reusability of datasets. In this lightning talk the recent and future activities of the Network will be discussed. The Network is soon ending its Sloan Foundation-funded phase and will be transitioning to a member-sustaining network. This transition and sustainability plan [...]
Reflections on “Best Practices” from a Neurodivergent and Anxious RDM Librarian
Hannah Gunderman
Lightning Talk 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
The term “best practices” is used heavily in librarianship, including within research data management support. While following best practices can help ensure a person is appropriately and ethically managing their data and meeting benchmarks, the term itself can have a negative effect on a researcher who lives with anxiety and/or panic disorders. In this lightning talk, I reflect on how small [...]
Meet the Data Jobs Data Set
Abigail Goben, Liang Tang
Lightning Talk 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Are you curious how data librarian jobs have emerged and evolved now that we are a decade into the NSF DMP requirement. Meet the data set that might help you ask questions, find answers, and determine if your job ad has too many requirements. This dataset has been compiled over the past decade and will be introduced as a resource for the data librarian community to use as a resource to learn how [...]
Supporting Sensitive Data Sharing: A Sensitive Data Toolkit for Researchers: Supporting Sensitive Data Sharing in Canada
Victoria Smith
Lightning Talk 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Following the Open Science movement, sensitive data are becoming increasingly discoverable and accessible. Researchers need creative tools and solutions to address the ethics and privacy considerations involved in making their sensitive data shareable. The Portage Sensitive Data Expert Group has produced a Sensitive Data Toolkit to help researchers and research ethics boards support sensitive [...]
Using Storytelling for New Ways of Teaching Data Management
Margaret Janz
Workshop 2021-03-10 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
At the beginning of the pandemic, some libraries noticed an uptick in attendance at online workshops. As time as word on, researchers and librarians alike have burned out on virtual workshops. This workshop will teach participants to use elements of storytelling as a basis for reimagining data management education. Examples of data management themes in popular stories and tropes will be [...]
Diversity Scholars' Data: Practices, Gaps, and Potential Resources
Rachel Woodbrook
Presentation 2021-03-09 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
This presentation will discuss the results of original research conducted with the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Diversity Scholars Network. (The DSN is a self-identified, multidisciplinary group of scholars at various institutions whose work advances understanding of identity, difference, culture, representation, power, oppression, and inequality). Using an exploratory [...]
Supporting Responsible Research with Big Social Data by Connecting Communities of Practice
Sara Mannheimer
Presentation 2021-03-09 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Big social data (e.g. social media and blogs) represent a radical change in the way research is conducted and the way data are curated, and thus introduce new ethical, legal, and epistemological challenges. This presentation suggests that big social research has key similarities to qualitative data reuse (e.g. research using archived interview transcripts and diaries). Both types of research [...]
Data Consultations, Racism, and Critiquing Colonialism in Demographic Datasheets
Nina Exner, Erin Carrillo, Sam Leif
Presentation 2021-03-09 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Race in the U.S. is a colonial construct. Racial demographic terms are heavily influenced by early European concepts of race. “Asian-American” is used to refer to groups from Pakistani-American to Vietnamese-American. Very different tribal cultures are combined into “Native Americans”. Children of African immigrants are grouped with people whose great-grandparents were forcibly taken from Africa. [...]
Do I Have to Be an “Other” to Be Myself? Nonbinary Gender in Taxonomy, Data Collection, and Through the Lifecycle
Ari Gofman, Sam Leif, Hannah Gunderman
Lightning Talk 2021-03-09 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Relatively stringent meta-analyses suggest .3% of adults (3 per 1,000) in the U.S. identify as a nonbinary gender or otherwise gender nonconforming. Data structures that limit gender to “male” and “female” or ontological structures that use mapping to collapse gender demographics to binary values are excluding this whole population. We sometimes see “Other” as a gender response option, but [...]
Updating the SPARC Federal Data Sharing Policy Resource: A Distributed Collaborative Effort by RDAP Members
Reid Boehm
Lightning Talk 2021-03-09 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Working under the auspices of RDAP, a group has updated the content of the SPARC data sharing resource. This community resource allows for tracking, comparing, and understanding current U.S. federal funder research data sharing policies. We will introduce this resource and its updates as useful for data management professionals, especially those supporting US government-funded research.
Archives and Climate Change
Eira Tansey
Presentation 2021-03-09 Research Data RDAP Summit 2021
Climate change is a major threat to archives. Archival materials are located at numerous diverse institutions in the public and private sector. Examples include a county health department’s birth and death records, a state archive’s land surveys, a national archive’s records of government activities, a university research library’s collection of papers from authors and politicians, or a local [...]
