Evaluation of Spanish institutional repositories based on criteria related to technology, procedures, content, marketing and personnel | Data Technologies and Applications | Vol 52, No 3

"The purpose of this paper is to provide, through a set of indicators, an overview of the way in which Spanish institutional repositories are run and the services they offer their respective institutions and other users. The selected descriptors are based on aspects related to technology, procedures, content, marketing and the personnel responsible for managing repositories."

The Rutgers open access policy goes into effect: Faculty reaction and implementation lessons learned

Roadblocks encountered as faculty began to deposit their scholarship and lessons learned are a focus. Early reaction from faculty and graduate students (doctoral students and postdocs) to various aspects of the policy as well as the use of SOAR for depositing their work are included.

Open Research Data in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Bibliometric Study Using the Data Citation Index

The purpose of the study was to explore the status of research data sharing among researchers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and internationally. Relevant data was extracted from the Data Citation Index (DCI) using an advanced search strategy, which was limited to the publication years between 2009 and 2014. Data was analysed to obtain the number of data records by country, institution, subject category, year of publication, and document type as well as the number of citations.

Promoting data sharing among Indonesian scientists: A proposal of generic university-level Research Data Management Plan (RDMP)

This paper is mainly describing our recommendation of RDMP document at university level. This paper would be a form of our initiative to be developed at university or national level, which also in-line with current development in scientific practices mandating data sharing and data re-use.

Research data management and sharing among researchers in Arab universities An exploratory study

This study investigates researchers’ current practices for managing and sharing research data. An online survey was conducted among researchers from three Arab universities in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. In total, 337 participants filled out the questionnaire.

Correlation Between Cost of Publication and Journal Impact. Comprehensive Cross-sectional Study of Exclusively Open-Access Surgical Journals

This study is the first study to specifically assess the cost of publishing in exclusively open-access, peer-reviewed surgical journals, and their correlation with journal impact, in the form of 6 bibliometrics.

Informal data citation for data sharing and reuse is more common than formal data citation in biomedical fields

2018-08-04T12:22:02-04:00

Informal data citation for data sharing and reuse is more common than formal data citation in biomedical fields

The analysis reveals that informal data citation in the main text of articles is far more common than formal data citations in the references of articles. As a result, data sharers do not receive documented credit for their data contributions in a similar way as authors do for their research articles because informal data citations are not recorded in sources such as the DCI.

The added value of a CRIS in archiving research data and registering data management plans. A case study of Radboud University and the national data archive DANS, the Netherlands

The added value of a CRIS in archiving research data and registering data management plans. A case study of Radboud University and the national data archive DANS, the Netherlands

n 2016, Radboud University (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and national data archive DANS initiated a project to extend Radboud University’s CRIS (METIS) to allow researchers to register and archive their research data in the CRIS, at the same time making their data available for reuse at the DANS archive. As we speak (spring 2018), a data management plan (DMP) module is being added, allowing researchers to draft and register their DMP’s via the CRIS. All modules together offer a one-stop-shop for researchers: data registration and archiving combined with registration of DMP and articles, uploading full text to the repository, linking between results and the creation of researcher’s profile pages.

Data management and sharing in neuroimaging: Practices and perceptions of MRI researchers

Data management and sharing in neuroimaging: Practices and perceptions of MRI researchers

Neuroimaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involve complex data collection and analysis protocols, which necessitate the establishment of good research data management (RDM). Despite efforts within the field to address issues related to rigor and reproducibility, information about the RDM-related practices and perceptions of neuroimaging researchers remains largely anecdotal. To inform such efforts, we conducted an online survey of active MRI researchers that covered a range of RDM-related topics. Survey questions addressed the type(s) of data collected, tools used for data storage, organization, and analysis, and the degree to which practices are defined and standardized within a research group. Our results demonstrate that neuroimaging data is acquired in multifarious forms, transformed and analyzed using a wide variety of software tools, and that RDM practices and perceptions vary considerably both within and between research groups, with trainees reporting less consistency than faculty. Ratings of the maturity of RDM practices from ad-hoc to refined were relatively high during the data collection and analysis phases of a project and significantly lower during the data sharing phase. Perceptions of emerging practices including open access publishing and preregistration were largely positive, but demonstrated little adoption into current practice.
