From cameron.cook at wisc.edu Fri Nov 1 13:12:02 2019 From: cameron.cook at wisc.edu (Cameron Cook) Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2019 17:12:02 +0000 Subject: [Rdap] Closes TONIGHT, Midnight PST: Call for Proposals for RDAP 2020 Message-ID: Call for Proposals for RDAP 2020: Connecting Through Data Research Data Access and Preservation (RDAP) Summit will be held March 11-12, 2020, at the Santa Fe Convention Center in Santa Fe, NM. Workshops are scheduled for March 13, 2020. * RDAP Summit is a two-day, single-track event for all who work toward management, access, and preservation of research data. It ends with an optional third day of workshops, some available for a small fee. * The program includes presentations, lightning talks, a poster session, discussion panel, and workshops. Optional social activities are also offered. * The theme of RDAP Summit 2020 is Connecting Through Data. We encourage attendees to consider how different communities are impacted by our systems, technology, values, and practices, who our communities are by and for, and to look at data services through a critical lens. Submit Proposal About the conference theme We welcome proposals that discuss how data has created connections. This can include but is not limited to: * Connections between higher education, the broader public, industry, government and other research data stakeholders. * Connections between groups within an organization or institution. * How connections have improved lives, especially when data was used for advocacy or change. * How these connections have changed the careers of data professionals. * How these connections have changed a field and/or industry. Preference will be given to proposals that critically engage research data systems, technologies, and practices that are traditionally considered neutral. The committee challenges presenters to think about these research data issues in the context of systems of oppression and exclusion (including but not limited to racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and classism), labor and hierarchies, and capitalism and profit models. Presenters are invited to examine how services, practices, and technology can marginalize or disenfranchise communities, interrogate the implicit or explicit values that inform our choices, or highlight the work being done to create and sustain inclusive communities. Types of proposals * Presentation (which will be matched with a panel), 15 minutes. Remote presentation proposals are welcome. * Discussion panel (propose topic and 2-3 participants to have a live discussion), 45 minutes. Remote panelists are welcome. * Lightning talk, 5 minutes * Poster * Workshop, 3 hours or less Evaluation Criteria The committee will consider 1. the currency and relevance of the topic to the field, 2. appropriateness of the proposal for the session type, 3. impact of practices, conclusions, or recommendations (if applicable), 4. evidence of critical engagement (i.e. considering the context of the topic in the larger world of questions about equity and justice), 5. organization and clarity, and 6. evidence of ethical research practice (if applicable). Panel proposals will also be evaluated on engagement of participants and how it will provide and encourage multiple perspectives and views on the topic proposed. Workshop proposals will also be evaluated based on their learning outcomes. Poster and lightning talks can be shorter and more informal and the committee will evaluate them with that in mind. We welcome proposals from both first-time RDAP presenters and those who provide a follow up on a project previously presented at RDAP. We also welcome submissions from employees of sponsors and will evaluate them using the same methods as other submissions. However, submissions will not be considered if they focus only on demonstrating or selling a sponsor?s specific product. Finally, we expect: * Diverse participation in presentations or panels. Diversity includes ? but is not limited to ? race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, ability, role or specialty, disciplinary approach, or environment. * All original research and projects are conducted using ethical practices, including informed consent and community participation in community-based research. * If using presentation aids, presenters are expected to provide accessible materials or work with our accessibility coordinator to make their materials accessible. Timeline * Proposals will be accepted through November 1, 2019. * Decisions will be sent on November 22, 2019. * Deadline to accept is December 6, 2019. Publication opportunities RDAP and the Journal of eScience Librarianship (JeSLIB) are pleased to continue their partnership for RDAP Summit 2020. All RDAP Summit 2020 presenters are encouraged to submit proposals for a special issue in JeSLIB. Commentaries are also welcome for publication in JeSLIB from first time and veteran attendees. JeSLIB is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes full-length papers, eScience in Action articles, reviews, commentaries, and video articles. For more information see JeSLIB?s Guidelines for Authors. Submit Submissions require the contact information of the primary presenter, the proposal type, and the title, summary (max 300 words), a brief statement about what informed your involvement in this topic, and three or fewer keywords describing the proposal. Panel proposals will ask for the names of potential panelists, and workshop proposals will require learning outcomes.

The organizing team for the webinar is looking for panelists to participate and share their expertise on this topic. Below is the outline for the discussion. If you are interested in being a panelist, please contact Sophie Hou at - sophie.hou at ronininstitute.org RDAP Town Hall for December Topic: Institutional Research Data Policy Key Objective: We would like to hear from librarians and related stakeholders about their experiences with institutional research data policies that regulate the ownership, management, and transfer of research data in an institution. Background/Use Case (provided by Clara Llebot of Oregon State University): I work in a research intensive university as the library data management specialist. I have worked occasionally on data policies during my time here, like when we wrote the policy that regulates dataset reviews in our institutional repository. These policies were usually flexible, informative, and a helpful tool for me. Earlier this year I was asked to be part of a committee that would create an institutional research data management policy in our institution. I was thrilled that the library was being asked to participate, and at the same time terrified that I had no idea what I was getting into. I have been generally interested in concepts around data ownership, the interactions between copyright and data, decision making regarding research data, etc., but I felt unprepared. An institutional research data policy is, from my perspective, a policy that affects a lot of people, and that has the potential of changing behaviors and research practices in a way that I am definitely not used to. We are still beginning the process of creating the policy, so right now what I have is mostly questions, not answers, about what an institutional research data policy should say. It would be incredibly useful to hear the experiences of others who have worked on the development of institutional research data management policies. Or to hear from these of you who work in an institution with a policy, and want to share what is working well and what isn't, and what are the unexpected consequences (good and bad) of your research data policies. Main Discussion Questions: 1. Motivations for the policy * Is an institutional research data policy necessary in any institution? * What are the issues/gaps that we are trying to address through this policy? * What should be the goal of an institutional research data policy? 2. Roles and responsibilities * Who should be involved in creating this kind of policy? * How should the faculty be involved in the creation of this policy? * How should a research data policy be enforced? * How should students be affected by this policy? 1. Outcomes of existing data policies * What is the type of content addressed in an institutional research data policy? Should ownership be a part of it? * Are research data policies encouraging or deterring open data? * What can we do, when writing this type of policy, to make clear that the university supports open data? Or should this be in different policies? * What are some examples of situations that are easier/better because there is a research data policy at an institution?

I?ve attached a flyer and the conference website is here: https://library.stanford.edu/projects/fantastic-futures. The full name of the conference is, ?Fantastic Futures: 2nd International Conference on AI for Libraries, Archives, and Museums,? and it is described thus: ?What role will libraries, archives, and museums play, as trusted sources of information, when more and more of the information we consume is algorithmically generated? How will the values of neutrality, privacy, authority, and preservation that these institutions advance help shape AI. How will our institutions adapt these values to a changing landscape? How can we put AI to work for us, to transform and elevate our services beyond 20th century modalities?? I?m particularly excited for Day 2, which has workshops split across 5 tracks. I?ll be attending the track related to text to learn some things about how to conduct text analysis using computational methods. Anyhow ? it?s short notice, but please check it out if this is relevant to your work. Feel free to forward this to folks who may be interested.

The organizing team for the webinar is looking for panelists to participate and share their expertise on this topic. Below is the outline for the discussion. If you are interested in being a panelist, please contact Sophie Hou at - sophie.hou at ronininstitute.org RDAP Town Hall for December Topic: Institutional Research Data Policy Key Objective: We would like to hear from librarians and related stakeholders about their experiences with institutional research data policies that regulate the ownership, management, and transfer of research data in an institution. Background/Use Case (provided by Clara Llebot of Oregon State University): I work in a research intensive university as the library data management specialist. I have worked occasionally on data policies during my time here, like when we wrote the policy that regulates dataset reviews in our institutional repository. These policies were usually flexible, informative, and a helpful tool for me. Earlier this year I was asked to be part of a committee that would create an institutional research data management policy in our institution. I was thrilled that the library was being asked to participate, and at the same time terrified that I had no idea what I was getting into. I have been generally interested in concepts around data ownership, the interactions between copyright and data, decision making regarding research data, etc., but I felt unprepared. An institutional research data policy is, from my perspective, a policy that affects a lot of people, and that has the potential of changing behaviors and research practices in a way that I am definitely not used to. We are still beginning the process of creating the policy, so right now what I have is mostly questions, not answers, about what an institutional research data policy should say. It would be incredibly useful to hear the experiences of others who have worked on the development of institutional research data management policies. Or to hear from these of you who work in an institution with a policy, and want to share what is working well and what isn't, and what are the unexpected consequences (good and bad) of your research data policies. Main Discussion Questions: 1. Motivations for the policy * Is an institutional research data policy necessary in any institution? * What are the issues/gaps that we are trying to address through this policy? * What should be the goal of an institutional research data policy? 2. Roles and responsibilities * Who should be involved in creating this kind of policy? * How should the faculty be involved in the creation of this policy? * How should a research data policy be enforced? * How should students be affected by this policy? 1. Outcomes of existing data policies * What is the type of content addressed in an institutional research data policy? Should ownership be a part of it? * Are research data policies encouraging or deterring open data? * What can we do, when writing this type of policy, to make clear that the university supports open data? Or should this be in different policies? * What are some examples of situations that are easier/better because there is a research data policy at an institution?

The organisers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: Open for all In today's world, access to knowledge by all is viewed by some as a fundamental freedom and human right. In our societies, open knowledge for all can enable sustainable development and growth on many levels. How well do repositories support knowledge in the service of society? How well do they enable local knowledge sharing and support not only academic use, but also use in education and practice? Invitation to participate OR2020 will provide an opportunity to explore and reflect on the ways repositories enable openness for all. We hope that this discussion will give the participants new insights and inspiration, which will help them to play a key role in developing, supporting and sharing an open agenda and open tools for research and scholarship. We particularly welcome proposals on the overall "Open for All" theme, but also on other administrative, organisational or practical topics related to digital repositories. We are particularly interested in the following sub-themes: 1. Equity and democratization of knowledge * Accessibility of repositories and their content * Equity and democratization of knowledge * Inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented voices * Local knowledge sharing * Moving beyond traditional academic content and services, supporting educators and practitioners * Supporting knowledge in the service of society, encouraging non-academic use * Enabling access to governmental publications/data * Addressing language barriers 2. Beyond the repository * Integration with other open knowledge resources (e.g. Wikimedia and Wikidata) * Next Generation Repositories, Pubfair * Convergence and integration with other types of systems (e.g. current research information systems, digital asset management systems, publishing platforms, ORCID) * Interoperability vs integration * New models for scholarly sharing * Data mining, artificial intelligence and machine learning 3. Open and sustainable * Local systems vs repository as a service * Securing long-term funding for open infrastructures * Open business models and governance for open infrastructures * Sustaining community-based infrastructure 4. Policies, licensing and copyright laws * Impact of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) and copyright laws * Publisher policies, embargoes and rights retention * Licenses and re-use of content * Compliance and impact of funder policies (e.g. Plan S) on repositories 5. Discovery, use and impact * Data/metadata visualization * Open access discovery, research data discovery * Tools for researchers and practitioners, interfaces for machines * Measuring impact particularly outside of the academic context. * Supporting use by practitioners. 6. Supporting open scholarship and cultural heritage * Providing access to different types of materials (e.g. research data, scholarly articles, pre prints and overlay journals, open access monographs, theses and dissertations, educational resources, archival and cultural heritage materials, audiovisual materials, software, interactive publications and emerging formats) * Repositories as digital humanities and open science platforms * Inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented voices Submission Process The Program Committee has provided templates to use for submissions (see below for links). Please use the submission template, and then submit through ConfTool (link coming soon) where you will be asked to provide additional information (such as primary contact and the conference subtheme your submission best fits). Accepted proposals in all categories will be made available through the conference's website. Later, the presentations and associated materials will be made available in an open repository; you will be contacted to upload your set of slides or poster. Some conference sessions will be live streamed or recorded, then made publicly available. After the completion of the conference, we will solicit full papers from a selection of presentation in order to be published in the OR2020 proceedings (open access, no article processing charge) in cooperation with a scholarly publisher. If you are proposing a presentation or panel, you may want to consider whether it could be turned into a full paper. Submission Categories Presentations Presentations make up the bulk of the Open Repositories conference. Presentations are substantive discussions of a relevant topic; successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience. These typically are placed in a 30 minute time slot (generally alongside two other presentations for a total of 90 minutes). We strongly encourage presentations that can be delivered in 20-25 minutes in order to leave time for questions and discussion. Presentation proposals should be 2-3 pages. Panels Panels are made up of two or more panelists presenting on work or issues where multiple perspectives and experiences are useful or necessary. Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. All panels are expected to include diversity in viewpoints, personal background, and gender of the panelists. Panels can be 60 or 90 minutes long. If 60 minutes, the panel may be combined in a session with a presentation. Panel proposals should be 2-3 pages. 24?7 Presentations 24?7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Successful 24?7 presentations are fast paced and have a clear focus on one idea. 24x7 presentations about failures and lessons learnt are highly encouraged. Presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated question and answer session involving the audience and all block presenters. Proposals for 24?7 presentations should be one page. Posters OR2020 will feature physical posters only. Posters should showcase current or ongoing work that is not yet ready for a full 30 minute presentation. Instructions for preparing the posters will be distributed to authors of accepted poster proposals prior to the conference. Poster presenters will be expected to give a one-minute teaser at a Minute Madness session to encourage visitors to their poster during the poster reception. Proposals for posters should be one page. Developer Track The Developer Track provides a focus for showcasing technical work and exchanging ideas. Presentations are 15-20 minutes and can be informal. Successful developer track presentations include live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features, and unique viewpoints. Proposals for the developer track should be one page. Workshops and Tutorials The first day of Open Repositories 2020 will be dedicated to workshops and tutorials. Workshops and tutorials generally cover practical issues around repositories and related technologies, tools, and processes. Successful workshops include clear learning outcomes, involve active learning, and are realistic in terms of the number of attendees that can actively participate in the workshop. Workshops and tutorials can be 90 minutes, 3 hours (half-day), or 6 hours (full day). Proposals for workshops should be no longer than 2 pages. Templates The OR2020 proposal templates help you prepare an effective submission. Please select the submission type below to download the templates. Templates are available in Microsoft Word, Open Document Format and Plain Text. Submission in PDF format is preferred. * Workshop template [docx|txt] * Presentation template [docx|txt] * Poster template [docx|txt] * Panel template [docx|txt] * DevTrack template [docx|txt] * 24?7 template [docx|txt] * All templates [zip] Submission System The system will be open for submissions by the end of November, and the link will be on the conference website (https://or2020.sun.ac.za/). Review Process All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated according to the criteria outlined in the call for proposals, including quality of content, significance, originality, and thematic fit. The program committee makes the final decisions on inclusion in the conference. If you would like to volunteer to be a reviewer, please contact the program committee below. Also, please note that the program committee may accept a submission with the requirement that it move to another format (a presentation to a poster, for example). In such cases, submitters will have the opportunity to make a decision on whether to accept or decline such a move. Code of Conduct The OR2020 Code of Conduct is available at https://or2020.sun.ac.za/code-of-conduct/. We expect submitters to hold to the Code of Conduct in their proposals, presentations, and conduct at the conference. Fellowship Programme OR2020 will again run a Fellowship Programme, which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and conference dinner) for the conference in Stellenbosch. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a proposal for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding, and preference will be given to applicants from the African continent. Full details and an application form will shortly be available on the conference website.

We are still beginning the process of creating the policy, so right now what I have is mostly questions, not answers, about what an institutional research data policy should say. Main Discussion Questions: 1. Motivations for the policy * Is an institutional research data policy necessary in any institution? * What are the issues/gaps that we are trying to address through this policy? * What should be the goal of an institutional research data policy? 2. Roles and responsibilities * Who should be involved in creating this kind of policy? * How should the faculty be involved in the creation of this policy? * How should a research data policy be enforced? * How should students be affected by this policy? 1. Outcomes of existing data policies * What is the type of content addressed in an institutional research data policy? Should ownership be a part of it? * Are research data policies encouraging or deterring open data? * What can we do, when writing this type of policy, to make clear that the university supports open data? Or should this be in different policies? * What are some examples of situations that are easier/better because there is a research data policy at an institution? -- Do not delete or change any of the following text. -- Join WebEx meeting Meeting number (access code): 317 347 647 Meeting password: JjBCYx2r Join from a video system or application Dial 317347647 at ucincinnati.webex.com You can also dial 173.243.2.68 and enter your meeting number.

Researchers sometimes find themselves with a requirement to share data, but cannot identify a specific repository to use. When researchers don?t have a subject-specific repository relevant to their work, a generalist repository can be an appropriate place to store their data. The NIH Figshare instance is one example of a generalist repository. Data submitted to the NIH Figshare instance will be reviewed for completeness and to ensure there is no personally identifiable information in the data and metadata prior to being published and made discoverable. Review will also ensure the data and metadata are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable ? or aligned with the FAIR principles (https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/).

From: AgBioData Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2019 2:50 PM To: O'Donnell, Megan N Subject: Data Repository Selection: Criteria That Matter Data Repository Selection: Criteria That Matter ... Through a collaboration between FAIRsharing, Datacite and a number of journal publishers (PLOS, Springer Nature, F1000, Wiley, Taylor and Francis, Elsevier, EMBO Press, Hindawi, eLife, GigaScience and Cambridge University Press) have proposed a set of criteria that journals and publishers believe are important for the identification and selection of data repositories. This work intends to increase efficiency for data repositories that currently have to work with all individual publishers. The objectives of this work are intended to (i) inform data repository developers and managers of the features believed to be important by journals and publishers and (ii) guide journals and publishers in providing authors with consistent recommendations and guidance on data deposition, and improve authors? data sharing practices. Authors of this pre-print are asking for the community to comment on the criteria proposed. Pre-print can be found here.
