Seeding the commons - Monash university research data collections project

<br /> 由莫纳什大学图书馆领导的研究数据收集项目旨在识别和描述来自公共资助研究的研究数据收集，并通过向澳大利亚研究数据局（RDA）提供有关这些收集的信息来展示这些收集。<br /> <br /> 由于这个项目，60多名莫纳什研究人员获得了一个额外的渠道来促进他们的研究，包括向新的通才和跨学科观众展示他们的工作。对于那些有数据可供重复使用的研究人员，可能会增加研究影响（例如引用出版物）。<br /> <br /> 对于那些数据受到限制或只能通过谈判获得的研究人员来说，出现在RDA中仍然可以增加合作的机会，并突出其他研究人员可能感兴趣的数据收集和分析技术。采访的深入性也使图书馆能够更多地了解研究人员？数据管理实践和需求。这些信息将通知图书馆的不断改进？的数据管理咨询服务和技术基础设施。<br /> <br /> 最后，也许最重要的是，该项目大大增加了图书馆工作人员参与数据管理活动的程度。通过建立在我们的学科馆员的知识和网络，并仔细构建了一个伙伴系统，为工作人员提供了一个安全的环境和阶段过程中学习的项目，该项目成功地涉及30多名图书馆工作人员除了正式借调到项目团队的工作人员。<br />

<br /> The Research Data Collections Project led by Monash University Library aimed to identify and describe research data collections arising from publicly funded research, and to showcase these collections by contributing information about them to Research Data Australia (RDA). <br /> <br /> As a result of this project, 60+ Monash researchers have been provided with an additional channel to promote their research, including showcasing their work to new generalist and cross-disciplinary audiences. For those researchers with data available for re-use, an increase in research impact (e.g. citation of publications) may result. <br /> <br /> For those researchers with data that is restricted or only available by negotiation, appearing in RDA may still increase opportunities for collaboration and highlight data collection and analysis techniques that may be of interest to other researchers. The in-depth nature of the interviews has also enabled the Library to learn more about researchers? data management practices and needs. This information will inform the continuous improvement of the Library?s data management advisory services and technical infrastructure. <br /> <br /> Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the project has led to a dramatic increase in the participation of Library staff in data management activities. By building on the knowledge and networks of our subject librarians, and carefully structuring the project around a buddy system that provided staff with a safe environment and stage process in which to learn, the project successfully involved more than thirty Library staff in addition to the staff that were formally seconded to the project team. <br />
