« The University Library of Paris Nanterre in France has developed a range of robust research support services, particularly in the disciplinary fields of the humanities, in a process characterised by a voluntary, collaborative approach. This paper presents the strategic vision, collaborative approach, planning methodology, training, capacity building and organisational change…
« Research data management (RDM) in academic scientific environments increasingly enters the focus as an important part of good scientific practice and as a topic with big potentials for saving time and money. Nevertheless, there is a shortage of appropriate tools, which fulfill the specific requirements in scientific research. (…) »
« Ensuring the reproducibility of research is a multi-stakeholder effort that comes with challenges and opportunities for individual researchers and research communities, librarians, publishers, funders and service providers. These emerge at various steps of the research process, and, in particular, at the publication stage. (…) »
« OCLC Research has published the new report Building Research Data Management Capacity: Case Studies in Strategic Library Collaboration, which provides actionable recommendations based on real-world case studies that libraries can apply to make their own collaborations successful and sustainable.

« (…) This paper discusses methods for the automation of DMP assessment. It goes beyond generating human-readable reports. It explores how the information contained in maDMPs can be used to provide automated pre-assessment or to fetch further information, allowing reviewers to better judge the content. We map the identified methods to…
« Clinical trials, epidemiological studies, clinical registries, and other prospective research projects, together with patient care services, are main sources of data in the medical research domain. They serve often as a basis for secondary research in evidence-based medicine, prediction models for disease, and its progression. This data are often neither…
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) have released a new report, Institutional Strategies for the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy. The report shares infrastructure, services, and policies that institutions have developed to…
« Data discovery practices currently tend to be studied from the perspective of researchers or the perspective of support specialists. This separation is problematic, as it becomes easy for support specialists to build infrastructures and services based on perceptions of researchers’ practices, rather than the practices themselves. This paper brings together…
« FAIR handling of scientific data plays a significant role in current efforts towards a more sustainable research culture and serves as a prerequisite for the fourth scientific paradigm, that is, data-driven research. To enforce the FAIR principles by ensuring the reproducibility of scientific data and tracking their provenance comprehensibly, the…
