As publishers, content providers, libraries and the scholarly research community plan for dissemination of this data, many complexities arise in ensuring the quality and integrity of published research data. In this in-person and virtual One-Day Workshop (Monday, April 20) at The Hub in Philadelphia, a select group of information experts share trends, emerging practices and policies, plus discuss issues around curation, preservation, integrity and citation of quality research data. Attendees of this workshop will delve into a range of issues including: * Proper curation and preservation of quality research data * Data mining as an evolving standard research practice, and access to proprietary data sets * Metadata as the driver of discoverability * Liability in the reuse of data * Provenance tracking and measuring quality for data citation and sharing ________________________________ **AGENDA** 9:15 - 9:20 am: Welcome and Opening Remarks (Marcie Granahan, NFAIS Executive Director) 9:20 - 10:00 am: The Current Landscape of Research Data Publication (David Martinsen, Senior Scientist, ACS) Martinsen opens the NFAIS Workshop summarizing "Research Data Publication, Part One: The Current Landscape," an NFAIS webinar from March 12, 2015. Martinsen's introduction further expands on that event by giving attendees a common sense of where we are at this point in time on the overall issues surrounding research data publication. 10:00 - 10:30 am: Barriers and Resistance to Sharing of Data (Cathy Giffi, Director, Strategic Market Analysis, Global Research, Wiley) Giffi will share the results of Wiley's 2014 survey of 90,000 researchers globally on their data-sharing practices and preferences. Wiley's Researcher Data Insights Survey found 52% of researchers globally share their data but mostly do so in informal, non-permanent ways. Giffi will delve into the meaning of the survey's broad set of results and share insights into the challenges scholarly research communities face in driving more sharing - as well as proper curation and preservation - of quality research data. 10:30 - 10:45 am: Break 10:45 am - 12:15 pm: Product Development and the Management of Data Sets (Richard Huffine, Independent Consultant and Brooks Hanson, American Geophysical Union) Huffine and Hanson, both of whom are immersed in the world of data publication and management, are leading experts in the complex issues facing researchers today in regard to data accessibility and discoverability. Both speakers will touch on the current environment around management of data sets. They'll also cover issues surrounding data mining, such as challenges researchers face in gaining access to proprietary data sets. And they'll discuss the growing imperative within the information community to build data discoverability by defining responsibility for inputting metadata within data sets. 12:15 - 1:00 pm: Lunch 1:00 - 2:30 pm: Setting New Policies and Procedures (Laurie Goodman, Publisher, GigaScience and Laura Paglione, Technical Director, ORCID) Laurie Goodman and Laura Paglione are both, in complementary ways, on the frontlines of efforts to advance the scholarly research community through improving access to quality information and research. Goodman and Paglione will tackle current trends and issues in regard to policies around the preservation and integrity of data in published research. Their topic set includes discussion on whether there's a need to establish liability in the reuse of data (especially in cases where the reuse occurs without permission). They'll also share their insights on the nature of provenance tracking of data to help validate that data sets are untainted with a clear chains of custody. 2:30 - 2:45 pm: Break 2:45 - 4:00 pm: Mandating Usage of Relevant, Quality Data Sets (Megan Force, Digital Research Analyst-Physical Science, Thomson Reuters; Other Speaker TBA) With research funding more than ever tied to demonstrating work that is relevant, the information community continues to grapple with the need to develop a framework of metrics to assess the influence and impact of ongoing research. Thomson Reuters' Megan Force will talk about this issue in the context of establishing links into new data sets, determining where they're hosted and then measuring their relative quality for data citation and sharing. 4:00 pm: Closing Remarks and Adjournment ________________________________ To register or learn more about this event, go to http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=463029&orgId=nfais.
