Supporting Evolving Research Needs
ALISS One Day Summer Conference
30th July 2013
![Page 3: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is it?
• A concern with all the material produced during digital research
• Not just the publications!• Extension of digital literacy and good
research practice• Stronger input / expectations from research
stakeholders

Roots of RDM
• Digital realm• Expansion in research and research collaboration
in academia• Digital media drawbacks
• Inflexible formats• Easily lost• Lack organisation• Short-termism
![Page 5: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Growth of RDM
• Digital media strengths• Easily stored• Produces perfect copies• Great potential for sharing, re-use
• Evolution of digital literacy• More data being made available
![Page 6: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Practical examples
• Documents, spreadsheets• Research notebooks/Codebooks• Questionnaires, transcripts, • Audio, images & videotapes• Resource: UK Data Archive / UK
Data Service

Research Data Objects
• Acquired or generated during the research process
• Databases • Standard operating procedures,
guidelines or protocols• Metadata - context
![Page 9: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Language of Research Data Management• Type - Quantitative, Qualitative, Mixed• Terms - created or converted• Formats - alternatives
• Proprietary• Non-proprietary• Obsolete
• Greater involvement in research process• Resource: University of Leicester RDM

A Wider Area for Support
• Data underlies publications and merits as much attention
• It will be archived and accessible• Preservation and multiple use depends
on curation of data• Avoid some of the pitfalls of working
with digital data
![Page 12: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Understanding the research process• Where do we contribute?
• Discuss their research activity• Assess needs• Identify opportunities to assist• Overcome reluctance about RDM• Wider institutional support mechanisms
![Page 13: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Common Themes
• Storage and preservation issues• Metadata• Research Ethics
• of data creation • and sharing
• Data Management Plan and Planning
![Page 14: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
‘The Plan’
• Describes the research data being created or collected
• Key responsibilities• How the data will be organised • Documentation during the collection
and analysis phase
![Page 15: Supporting the Research data management process- a guide for Librarians. .](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081602/54d91ead4a795989138b4729/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Other aspects of ‘The Plan’
• Policy on data storage and security• Facilities and equipment?• Ownership and access rights • Long term availability• Plan v. Planning• Resource: Digital Curation Centre

More Common Areas for Support• Building on advice during initial
research• Developing funding proposals• Advising/ being aware of digital, data
or RDM issues• Advising/ being aware of ethical and
legal issues

Ethical and Legal issues
• Research Ethics• Access Restrictions• Participatory / Confidentiality agreements • Ethics Committees and Informed Consent• Responsible Conduct
• Legal Issues• Usage conditions• Data Protection FOI Legislation• Researcher aware and confident

Key Elements
• What is your data? • What data will you collect and wish to keep? • Will it be kept for the short or long term • How will you describe this data to enable future
access? (metadata)• Where will it will be stored? • Who will and will not have access to it? • How will that access be managed?

Supporting Research Through RDM
• Answer this question"What would you do if you lost your
research data tomorrow?”
• Not just compliance • Help researchers complete their work• Share data and results• Get credit for what they have done
