That was one of my primary questions too! I mean if they’ll take 20 TB then that fee is a bargain!

And how many TB from one research project will they host? ☺

I am curious what kind of contract a researcher enters into when they would use this service. Does the researcher get the dataset back to distribute, or not distribute, how they want? We know very well that compliant, accessible, and findable can mean different things, so what do THEY mean?

Hi list members,
I thought I’d get people’s reactions to this.  My initial reaction was along the lines of, “Why is Springer trying to do my job for me and charge my faculty for the privilege?”  Am I overreacting?  Do you all think there’s a place for this kind of service?  I’m certainly not hostile to the idea of value-added data curation.  ICPSR and other repositories do that.  But this seems different, and potentially troublesome.

Alicia,

If you have five minutes, I’d like to share details about Springer Nature’s new Research Data Services. It is unique among major publishers.

We’re introducing these services because of the increasing demands under which researchers are placed by funders, governmental agencies and colleagues to make their dataset open and accessible. Frequently, these datasets are not in a state ready for sharing.  Our service allows your researchers, or the university on their behalf, to outsource this work to an experienced team we have in place willing and able to take on this work.

The support service takes datasets, including spreadsheets, code, videos, and images (see the attachment about the various data types we’ll accept) and makes them compliant, findable and accessible. As needed, just a few of the things we do are check labels for completeness and consistency, make sure metadata and descriptors are appropriately assigned and check to see that personal information is treated in compliance with HIPPA or other appropriate standards.  Where needed, we’ll acquire a DOI and assign a CC-0 license to the dataset.

There are numerous other checks and enhancements we provide, completing for researchers the necessary work to make their datasets more open.  The service can be applied to datasets not tied to a publication, associated with article submissions (to Springer Nature journals or those of other publishers) or attached to already-published articles that reside in your institutional repository.

Individual researchers can take advantage of this service for $340 per dataset.  Bundles of ten or more datasets can be prepaid by libraries, departments, schools or offices on campus, as best meets your needs and resources. When twenty or more are paid for in advance, discounts ranging from 10%-15% will be applied, lowering the per-dataset charge to as low as $289. Whether the university uses this service extensively or selectively, this is a great value.

Other related services to be offered include web-based or on-campus training to help librarians and researchers understand how best to navigate the data management landscape and reporting of data compliance related to articles published in Springer Nature journals.  The attached brochures provides more details.

I would like to discuss with you how we can best make these services available to your researchers. Can we set up time to talk?

Your thoughts and questions are most welcome. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.
