This combination is helping foster the mapping of metadata to increase and allow functionality across external systems to better serve the needs of end users. This fast-evolving dynamic fits into a wider trend (or necessity) of making systems interoperable so that researchers can input their research in one place and be able to access and share it seamlessly across multiple platforms. In this NFAIS webinar, August 29, 2016, join us for an in-depth discussion on: * The "Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles" developed to make research data an integral part of the scholarly record * The newly announced initiative connecting the Institutional Repository at the University of Florida with Elsevier's Science Direct platform * Elsevier's recent acquisition of Hivebench and how this development is creating solutions for researchers dealing with the complexity of research data * Ethical considerations for research that cut across and are shared between researchers and individuals, repositories, funding bodies and content platforms Our presenters are (in order of appearance): Maryann Martone, Professor and Co-Director, National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research, UC San Diego Judith Russell, Dean of University Libraries, George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida Wouter Haak, Vice President, Research Data Management, Elsevier Dr. Subhajit Basu FRSA, Associate Professor, Information Technology Law, University of Leeds. Our presenters also will discuss and examine the challenges - and possible solutions - around the complexity of managing data, as well as concomitant privacy and related legal issues.
