Description

It has become increasingly accepted that important digital data must be retained and shared in order to preserve and promote knowledge, advance research in and across all disciplines of scholarly endeavor, and maximize the return on investment of public funds. To meet this challenge, colleges and universities are adding data services to existing infrastructures by drawing on the expertise of information professionals who are already involved in the acquisition, management and preservation of data in their daily jobs. Data services include planning and implementing good data management practices, thereby increasing researchers' ability to compete for grant funding and ensuring that data collections with continuing value are preserved for reuse. This volume provides a framework to guide information professionals in academic libraries, presses, and data centers through the process of managing research data from the planning stages through the life of a grant project and beyond. It illustrates principles of good practice with use-case examples and illuminates promising data service models through case studies of innovative, successful projects and collaborations.

“Joyce Ray has brought together an impressive group of library thinkers and data management experts to cover all aspects of research data management now and into the future. This book covers the entire data life cycle—from incentives and mandates for sharing research data, to metadata standards and best practices of describing data for discovery, to preservation and archiving of datasets for use by future generations. Information professionals in the library and archival communities are a natural fit to lead the myriad tasks of research data management, and they will find inspiration in the insights provided in each chapter.”
Carol Tenopir
Chancellor’s Professor and Board of Visitors Professor School of Information Sciences University of Tennessee, Knoxville
“Increasing funder requirements relating to research data, combined with a growing awareness of the value that accessible, citable, reusable data can offer to researchers, mean that every research organisation needs to take research data management seriously as an institutional imperative. This timely book contains contributions on every aspect of the problem from people with practical experience of the solutions. The editor, Joyce Ray, has been closely involved with the community’s developing understanding of the challenges for many years; she has drawn together essential guidance and useful case studies that will be of value to all university information and research services.”
Kevin Ashley
Director Digital Curation Centre University of Edinburgh
“Research data management is becoming a crucial issue for European universities as they tackle the challenges posed by data-driven science. The League of European Research Universities (LERU) is about to publish its ‘Roadmap for Research Data,’ which will guide universities in their decision making as they tackle the data deluge. This book, therefore, is timely and will provide well-documented guidance on the contributions that the library sector can make. Data-driven research has the potential to revolutionize the way research is conducted, and there is a tremendously important role for libraries to play.”
Paul Ayris
Director of UCL Library Services and UCL Copyright Officer President of LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries) Chair of the LERU Chief Information Officers Community
“The variety of approaches and experiences give this book broad appeal for information professionals at different size organizations with different priorities. The details of the process that organizations went through to try and meet data services needs is extremely helpful. This manuscript gets down to the nuts and bolts, and the case studies are its greatest feature.”
Stephanie Wright
Data Services Coordinator University of Washington Libraries
“As a research library-based data management specialist, I have struggled to find robust resources with up-to-date practical information without having to scour the Internet for hours. This book will be a major asset to all professionals who are in a similar position. It is important because it provides relevant, timely, practical information about topics that I deal with every day—repositories, governance, copyright, metadata, data citation, and so forth—and it’s all collected in one place. In a more philosophical sense, the book may provide a vehicle for getting everyone in the data services field ‘on the same page’ with regard to the latest and greatest in research data management, in the sense that the book provides a benchmark for the state of our profession. We all recognize that data services are new to libraries, and many of us are doing a bit of DIY in terms of developing our services. The result of the ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ approach is that services vary wildly across institutions. The availability of a book like this enables librarians (and other data stewardship professionals) everywhere to seek out a common reference, which fosters dialog and consistency of approach.”
Amanda L. Whitmire
Data Management Specialist Center for Digital Scholarship and Services Oregon State University Libraries and Press
“This collection of timely articles on the emerging field of librarian support for research data management includes a good selection of topics and well-chosen authors. As a practitioner, I found the case study articles the most useful and interesting parts of the book. They were meaty, blow-by-blow accounts of how an organization, like mine, struggled and succeeded with these uncertain challenges of data management. This is not just a collection of articles written by key players from major grant-funded groups, but also real librarians implementing real services that you can relate to, and best of all, implement yourself.”
Lisa Johnston
Research Services Librarian Co-Director of the University Digital Conservancy University of Minnesota Libraries
“This book represents a foundational contribution from the guardians of institutional data that will give confidence to those who appreciate the huge potential of data based research in seeking solutions to global and societal challenges in the future.”
John Wood
Secretary-General Association of Commonwealth Universities and European Chair of the Research Data Alliance
“Research data will drive the next generation of innovation, and the deployment of effective data infrastructure is essential to enable data access and use. The topics in this book are both important and timely, and the contributors and editor read like a Who’s Who of key players in the field.”
Francine Berman
Chair of Research Data Alliance/US and Co-Chair of the National Academies Board on Research Data and Information
“A hallmark of every emergent profession is the initial codification of the knowledge that distinguishes it as a specialization. Research Data Management serves this function for the cluster of professionals coalescing to support data-intensive science, also known as e-science or cyberinfrastructure. The diverse talents of the contributors to this work reflect the rich intellectual roots undergirding this new data profession. Future generations of data curators, data scientists, data librarians, data managers, and other data specialists will look upon this volume as a seminal work.”

Introduction to Research Data Management
JOYCE M. RAY
Interest in research data has grown substantially over the past decade. The reason for this is evident: the digital revolution has made it far easier to store, share, and reuse data. Scientific research data are now almost universally created and collected in digital form, often in staggering quantities, and all disciplines are making increasing use of digital data. Data sharing increases the return on the large investments being made in research and has the potential to exponentially advance human knowledge, promote economic development, and serve the public good, all while reducing costly data duplication.
The Human Genome Project is a well-known example of the return on public investment resulting from collaborative research and data sharing. The project began in 1990 as an international effort to identify and map the sequence of the more than 20,000 genes of the human gen
