Library Science Talks - Danielle Cooper (New York, Ithaka S+R)

Leveraging Data Communities to Advance Open Science

Large numbers of researchers in many STEM fields now accept the value of openly sharing research data. Yet, the actual practice of sharing data—especially in forms that comply with FAIR principles—remains a challenge for many researchers to integrate into their workflows and prioritize among the demands on their time. What can we learn from the researchers themselves about the most effective ways to encourage data sharing among them? For the past several years Ithaka S+R, a not-for-profit higher education research program based in the U.S., has been exploring how fluid and informal networks of researchers, known as “data communities,” voluntarily share research data. This talk will share the latest findings from National Science Foundation funded research on how libraries can learn from data communities to advance open science through data support services. The talk will be given by Danielle Cooper is a director of Ithaka S+R’s program focusing on libraries, scholarly communications and museums and the principal investigator on the data communities project.
