This demonstration project will identify barriers and develop alternative incentive mechanisms for data producers to deposit archive-ready data sets in an archive. Archive-ready means data sets that meet an archive's deposit requirements and submission guidelines. Archives rely heavily on data producers to provide complete and accurate documentation when they deposit data and to comply with other requirements, such as file structures and formats, transfer media, and requirements for protection of privacy and confidentiality. The entire enterprise of digital archiving assumes some degree of cooperation between producers of digital information and archives. When data producers do not comply with submission guidelines, archives incur additional costs in preparing the data for preservation and dissemination, experience delays between ingest and release, and assume risks if data that do not meet quality assurance standards are released. The research literature and years of experience with data deposits at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) indicate that, as a rule, current incentives are insufficient to overcome the obstacles that data producers report. This multi-disciplinary team of experts in digital archiving, social science research, and experimental economics and ICPSR will investigate ways to increase cooperation between producers and archives. With a government partner, the National Institute of Justice, the team will use multiple methods (surveys and experiments) to identify barriers to compliance, revise guidelines andresponsibilities, and develop and test alternative incentive mechanisms.Intellectual MeritThis award will examine legal, social and economic impediments to archiving by analyzing problems that producers encounter when preparing data for deposit and by developing and field testing alternative incentive mechanisms. The project will enhance understanding of curatorial processes and work flow, especially when work is distributed between the data creator and the archive. It will develop metrics for the contributions expected of data producers. Contributions will also be made to our understanding of incentive mechanisms for public goods.Broader ImpactsThe results of research with social scientists will produce better models for sharing responsibility for archiving between data producers and archives. The models and incentive mechanisms will have broad applicability to other types of data producers who are mandated to deposit data by funding agencies or as a condition of publication. Ultimately, more cooperation between data producers and archives will reduce the costs of archiving, accelerate the release of data, and improve its quality. The research will also inform development of standards and guidelines for producer-archive relationships.

该示范项目将查明障碍，并为数据生产者在档案中存放可供存款档案的数据集制定替代激励机制。存档就绪是指符合存档存款要求和提交指南的数据集。档案馆在很大程度上依赖数据制作者在存款数据时提供完整和准确的文件，并遵守其他要求，如文件结构和格式、传输媒介以及保护隐私和保密的要求。整个数字存档事业需要数字信息和档案的生产者之间进行某种程度的合作。如果数据制作者不遵守提交准则，档案馆在准备数据以供保存和传播方面会产生额外费用，在接收和发布之间会出现延误，并在发布不符合质量保证标准的数据时承担风险。大学间政治和社会研究联合会的研究文献和多年的数据储存经验表明，一般来说，目前的激励措施不足以克服数据生产者报告的障碍。这个由数字存档、社会科学研究、实验经济学和ICPSR专家组成的多学科团队将研究如何加强生产者和档案馆之间的合作。该团队将与政府合作伙伴国家司法研究所一起使用多种方法（调查和实验），以确定遵守的障碍，修订指导方针和责任，并制定和测试替代激励机制。智力奖这个奖项将审查法律的，通过分析生产者在准备存款数据时遇到的问题，并通过开发和实地测试替代方案，激励机制。该项目将加强对策展流程和工作流程的理解，特别是当工作分布在数据创建者和存档之间时。它将为数据生产者的预期贡献制定衡量标准。更广泛的影响与社会科学家的研究结果将产生更好的模式，为数据生产者和档案之间的共享归档责任。这些模式和激励机制将广泛适用于其他类型的数据生产者，供资机构授权他们存款数据或将其作为公布数据的条件。最终，数据生产者和档案馆之间的更多合作将降低存档成本，加速数据发布并提高其质量。这项研究还将为制定制作人与档案馆关系的标准和准则提供信息。
