Research Data Management by Joyce M. Ray Pdf

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.

Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research by Crystal Lewis Pdf

Research data management is becoming more complicated. Researchers are collecting more data, using more complex technologies, all the while increasing the visibility of our work with the push for data sharing and open science practices. Ad hoc data management practices may have worked for us in the past, but now others need to understand our processes as well, requiring researchers to be more thoughtful in planning their data management routines. This book is for anyone involved in a research study involving original data collection. While the book focuses on quantitative data, typically collected from human participants, many of the practices covered can apply to other types of data as well. The book contains foundational context, instructions, and practical examples to help researchers in the field of education begin to understand how to create data management workflows for large-scale, typically federally funded, research studies. The book starts by describing the research life cycle and how data management fits within this larger picture. The remaining chapters are then organized by each phase of the life cycle, with examples of best practices provided for each phase. Finally, considerations on whether the reader should implement, and how to integrate those practices into a workflow, are discussed. Key Features: Provides a holistic approach to the research life cycle, showing how project management and data management processes work in parallel and collaboratively Can be read in its entirety, or referenced as needed throughout the life cycle Includes relatable examples specific to education research Includes a discussion on how to organize and document data in preparation for data sharing requirements Contains links to example documents as well as templates to help readers implement practices

Research Data Management and Data Literacies by Koltay Tibor Pdf

Modern computing affords novel forms of networking, openness, and accessibility, as well as the potential to manipulate data within the academy. In turn, the functions of academic libraries in relation to data-intensive research are rapidly developing. Research Data Management (RDM) has emerged as a suite of theories and techniques for the organization, storage, preservation and sharing of research data. Research Data Management and the Literacies presents research data management in academic libraries, in the context of such global technological change. Information professionals working day-to-day in academic libraries will find a good background to data-intensive science in the book, and those already working with RDM will find advanced help in its processes and methods. The volume will also help researchers familiarize themselves with RDM, and with the services increasingly offered by libraries. The volume looks at data-intensive science, or 'Science 2.0' as it is sometimes termed in commentary, from a number of perspectives. These include the tasks academic libraries need to fulfil; new services that will come online in the near future; data literacy and its relation to other literacies; research support and the need to connect researchers across the academy; and other key issues such as 'data deluge', the importance of citations, metadata, and data repositories. This book provides a solid resource that contextualizes RDM, and provides good theory and practice for researchers and professionals who find themselves tasked with managing research data.
