04 Aug 2020
Group(s) submitting the application: 
Libraries for Research Data IG
Meeting objectives: 

A recent article by Barend Mons in Nature advocated to invest 5% of research funds in ensuring data are reusable and identifies FAIR efforts as a way forward. In a relatively short period of time, the FAIR Principles have risen to an important aspect of research services for libraries to support. In this session, we will hear from a number of FAIR efforts from implementations to training programs and provide time for discussion on how FAIR can be/is applied in your community. We will also provide updates on Libraries for Research Data activities, hear from community members, with special focus on Latin American/South American libraries, and open the floor to community suggestions on topics for the Group moving forward.

 

The session will provide:

  • Update on projects led by the group  and invite members to provide feedback on the projects and adoption of outputs

  • Update the group on recent important developments in research data management 

    • Special focus on developments in libraries in Latin America 

  • Allow group members to shape the scope and direction of the future work of the group

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group: 

Research Data have become a primary research asset that often requires continued access in the dynamic environment of mobile researchers, volatile repositories, transient products and short-lived standards. Libraries have looked after written research assets for centuries and now tackle the challenge of adapting their function to making data reliably accessible and re-usable.
