“…Most of the Global South is still in the early stages of RDM implementation. Bhoi et al (2023) surveyed leading colleges and universities in India and found that RDM services in the top Indian colleges and universities are still in their early stages, affirming the low level of RDM adaptation in the Global South. According to Mavodza (2022), despite the emergence of local RDM operations, little is known about their significance.…”

This article investigates the knowledge of research data management and services among library professionals in selected East African libraries. A survey research design was employed, and data was collected using a structured questionnaire from 180 respondents representing four East African countries: Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The findings reveal that only 31.1% of the selected East African librarians agreed that their institutional libraries provided research data management services. The standard research data management services offered by their libraries included data publishing, sharing and reuse, while collaboration with academic programmes was identified as an essential approach for research data management skill development. The study highlights the need for librarians to acquire legal, policy and advisory skills and knowledge of institutional and extra-institutional resources and the research life cycle for effective research data management service delivery.

“…The study conducted by Bhoi et al (2023) examines the current state of research data management (RDM) practices in India's top-ranked higher education institutions (HEIs). The research investigates various aspects of RDM, including RDM services, policy implementation, responsible stakeholders, funding support, and obstacles to adoption.…”

“…To accomplish this, maps and their associated information need to be curated in a way that they can be located and actively used by researchers, i.e., maps need to be maintained and become "living" data assets that can move in and out of repositories. Research data frameworks cover the stewardship and curation of research data and exist in various incarnations (e.g., [92][93][94]).…”

Cartographic Metadata for Improving Accessibility and Facilitating Knowledge Extraction and Validation in Planetary Mapping Based on Remote-Sensing Observations

The field of planetary mapping and cartography builds almost exclusively on remote-sensing data and can be defined by three distinct concepts: systematic imaging as performed through spacecraft surveying, reference mapping as performed through the compilation of reference maps, i.e., regional to global image and topographic maps, and thematic mapping, which aims at abstracting and contextualizing spatial information to generate complex thematic maps, such as geologic or geomorphologic maps. While thematic mapping represents the highest form of abstraction of information that is provided through systematic mapping, thematic mapping also provides scientific reasoning in support of systematic mapping and exploration through spatially contextualized knowledge. For the development of knowledge, it is paramount to manage and exploit the value of thematic maps as research products, and to design a reliable and transparent development process from the beginning of the mapping phase as there is almost no validation for thematic maps. A key element in accomplishing these objectives is well-designed structures and metadata which are maintained within spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and shared as a coordinated process in research data management through data models. In this contribution, we focus on the need to transfer planetary thematic maps into findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR), as well as transparent research data assets to facilitate improved knowledge extraction and also to compensate for limitations caused by the lack of conventional validation options. We review the current status of planetary thematic mapping, and we discuss the principles and roles of mappers and publishers in the process of creating and stewarding digital planetary maps and associated data products. We then present and discuss a set of recommendations that are closely tied to the FAIR concepts in research data management to accomplish such tasks.
