LibGuides: Digital Scholarship & Research Services: Data Management and Sharing

Overview

There are new guidelines for all researchers applying for NIH funds in 2023. With the goal of fostering data stewardship and creating a cultural change for sharing practices, researchers must submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan with their grant applications beginning January 25, 2023. Compliance will influence future funding decisions. Additional information can be found here:

Why Data Management? Data Sharing and Management Snafu in 3 Short Acts

Find a Data Repository

Registry of Research Data Repositories
A research data repository is a subtype of a sustainable information infrastructure which provides long-term storage and access to research data that is the basis for a scholarly publication. Research data means information objects generated by scholarly projects for example through experiments, measurements, surveys or interviews.

A research data repository listed in re3data.org is either:

1) a data provider if it offers research data and its metadata (ideally exposing metadata via interfaces),
and/or

2) a service provider (e.g. a portal) if it harvests the metadata of research data from data providers as a basis for building value-added services.

Data Management Plan Contest!

DataWorks! Data Management Plan Challenge
The DataWorks! DMP Challenge provides an opportunity to learn how to create optimal data management plans, receive expert feedback, and win prizes.

Data management plans (DMPs) play an integral role in ensuring that data are collected, organized, stored, and shared responsibly. This challenge is an opportunity to practice creating a DMP using the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Plan template (NOT-OD-014). As part of this challenge, FASEB will award up to ten monetary awards.

The next competition will be announced mid-2023.
