[Rdap] Data-level metrics survey: please complete and/or pass along

[John Kratz]

Dear colleague,


In collaboration with PLOS and DataONE, the California Digital Library is conducting a survey to investigate metrics for datasets. Our aim is to learn what metrics of use and impact would be useful to reasearchers and repositories. The responses will directly be fed into a broader project to design and develop metrics that track and measure data use, i.e. “data-level metrics” (DLM).


Would you be willing to ask researchers and data managers at your institution to participate? We are interested in responses from researchers at any level in any branch of the Sciences or Social Sciences.  Email text directed at researchers and the survey link follow.


More information can be found at the project site (http://mdc.plos.org) and in this blog post (http://blogs.plos.org/tech/how-do-you-do-data/)<http://blogs.plos.org/tech/how-do-you-do-data/%29>. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Greetings,


PLOS, DataONE, and the California Digital Library are conducting a survey to investigate metrics for datasets. We all know that data is important for research. So how can we quantify that? How can you get credit for the data you produce? What do you want to know about how your data is used?


If you are a researcher or data manager, we want to hear from you. Take this 5-10 minute survey and help us craft data-level metrics:
