“…Librarians are well-positioned to lead the RDM agenda and therefore should take a leading role. This study is consistent with Andrikopoulou et al (2021), who found a positive collaboration among RDM stakeholders. It was also found that corporate stakeholders such as institutions can influence the performance directly through other internal staff or indirectly through other external stakeholders such as the government and funders (Li et al, 2020).…”

“…They are basically into collection development (Johnson, 2019), but with time there is a call for librarians to participate in RDM. In making a case for librarians to be involved in RDM, some argued that services in the library in higher institutions are strategically positioned to offer a significant role in RDM (Andrikopoulou Rowley & Walton, 2021). The librarians have practical skills that could be used in RDM.…”

This study aims to investigate key stakeholders’ impact and to assess its effect on Research Data Management (RDM), thereby setting the agenda for sound local government Research Data Management (RDM) policy for maximum profit. This study relies mainly on the stakeholder’ theory. Our target population is stakeholders in RDM. The survey used the Partial Least Squares and Structural Equation Modeling tool with a sample of 295 received from respondents to find the effect among the stakeholders. The Statistical results confirmed there is a positive effect among stakeholders. The Funders agencies criteria influence researchers’ work. The effect of government support policies on librarians RDM support services was positive but not significant. The impact of computer literacy of librarians on the RDM support service delivered by librarians was insignificant. The finding is mainly due to overreliance on manual approach to work in most libraries in Ghana as a result inadequate fund support. Librarians need to take a leading role in RDM to implement RDM policy fully. This study contributes to the discourse by helping to strengthen the existing relationship and also to understand the role of various stakeholders in RDM. Stakeholders in Ghana and developing countries need to take greater responsibility to achieve success. Government can rely on it for policy formulation. The research can be used to expand the existing stakeholders’ effective support and interactions as well as in teaching. The survey results can also help identify best practices, improve current observation, and compare practices across different countries.

“…Here we highlight the benefits of engaging with eResearch and libraries staff within or beyond your institute from an early stage in the research lifecycle. These professional staff are a supporting network holding knowledge and expertise in crafting solutions to data management challenges (Andrikopoulou et al, 2022). Researchers benefit from developing these relationships with staff who cultivate institutional knowledge and solutions that may not be captured in the traditional or domain-specific scientific literature.…”

Advances in sequencing technologies and declining costs are increasing the accessibility of large-scale biodiversity genomic data sets. To maximise the impact of these data, a careful, considered approach to data management is essential. However, challenges associated with the management of such data sets remain, exacerbated by uncertainty among the research community as to what constitutes best practices. As an interdisciplinary team with diverse data management experience, we recognise the growing need for guidance on comprehensive data management practices that minimise the risks of data loss, maximise efficiency for stand-alone projects, enhance opportunities for data reuse, facilitate Indigenous data sovereignty and uphold the FAIR and CARE Guiding Principles. Here, we describe four personas reflecting user experiences with data management to identify data management challenges across the biodiversity genomics research ecosystem. We then use these personas to demonstrate realistic considerations, compromises, and actions for biodiversity genomic data management. We also launch the Biodiversity Genomics Data Management Hub (https://genomicsaotearoa.github.io/data-management-resources/), containing tips, tricks and resources to support biodiversity genomics researchers, especially those new to data management, in adopting best practice. We aim to support the biodiversity genomics community in embedding data management throughout the research life cycle to maximise research impacts and outcomes.

“…The body of literature associated with research data management services in libraries and skill development has reached the point where literature reviews and scoping reviews are looking back in time to draw conclusions and offer suggestions to advance the field and the libraries' role. 79 Data mining proves itself as an emerging field as well, especially when linked to the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent study using both Clarivate Analytics Web of Science and Sciverse Scopus revealed that knowledge discovery in databases are paving the way to make data increasingly more meaningful.…”

Top trends in academic libraries: A review of the trends and issues

This article summarizes trending topics in academic librarianship from the past two years-a time of tremendous upheaval and change, including a global pandemic, difficult reflections concerning racial justice, and war between nation states. Rapid changes and uncertainty from these events have created a significant amount of shifts to academic libraries, higher education, and society in general. Such shifts have yielded new perspectives and innovations in how librarians approach delivering services, supporting student success, managing staff and physical spaces, embracing new technology, and managing data. This report attempts to provide a snapshot of developments worth noting. COVID-related trendsThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic library services has been significant, and these changes, in many cases, are ongoing. The issues identified below transcend the period covered by this review as libraries face a fundamental shift that will extend far into the future and beyond the pandemic. In early 2020, nearly all academic 1 and public 2 libraries closed temporarily and shifted towards virtual services. Despite in-person closures, libraries continued online services, 3 kept their communities informed, 4 and adopted innovative collaborations 5 and technologies to adapt to changing circumstances. These closures and the institutional changes that enabled them had a significant and diverse impact on librarianship, including rethinking long-held paradigms, 6 increased professional stress around institutional budgets, 7 and the ability to work remotely. 8 The pandemic also surfaced long-standing issues of inequality 9 and inaccessibility 10 in libraries. Despite the challenges raised by closures, libraries continued to deliver core services and creative solutions, including virtual reference with increasing complexity, 11 a renewed focus on digital literacy with the rise in online learning, 12 and born-digital collection development. 13 2021-22 ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee Top trends in academic libraries A review of the trends and issues 2021-22 ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee: Alex McAllister (chair) is associate professor and coordinator of Collection Management, Appalachian State University Libraries, email:
