Lions, Tigers, and Gummi Bears: Springing Towards Effective Engagement with Research Data Management

TL;DRAbstract

As part of an award from the Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship (Force11) community organization, the Oregon Health & Science University Library implemented an outreach effort with the local research community. The three-pronged approach consisted of a data management open house, one-on-one consultations with researchers, and an interactive data wrangling session. Here we describe our efforts to understand our community’s research data management needs and how the outcomes are influencing the Library’s efforts to provide research data management related services. Introduction Research data management is the process of organizing, describing, storing, and sharing data. From planning the details of data collection to addressing long-term data plans, research data management (RDM) can affect reuse and reproducibility. As the expense of scientific research increases and the practice of team-science grows, it is essential that researchers share data across disciplines in an
