The importance of managing research data has been emphasized by the government, funding agencies, and scholarly communities. Increased access to research data increases the impact and efficiency of scientific activities and funding. Thus, many research institutions have established or plan to establish research data curation services as part of their Institutional Repositories (IRs). However, in order to design effective research data curation services in IRs, and to build active research data providers and user communities around those IRs, it is essential to study current data curation practices and provide rich descriptions of the sociotechnical factors and relationships shaping those practices. Based on 13 interviews with 15 IR staff members from 13 large research universities in the United States, this paper provides a rich, qualitative description of research data curation and use practices in IRs. In particular, the paper identifies data curation and use activities in IRs, as well as their structures, roles played, skills needed, contradictions and problems present, solutions sought, and workarounds applied. The paper can inform the development of best practice guides, infrastructure and service templates, as well as education in research data curation in Library and Information Science (LIS) schools.

“…Funding agencies now require applicants to submit plans for disseminating and providing access to research data (IMLS, 2011; NEH, 2011; NIH, 2010; NSF, 2010). In addition, governments and scholarly communities emphasize the access and sharing of research data (Aalbersberg & Kähler, ; Office of Science and Technology Policy, 2013; Research Councils UK, 2011; Thomson Reuters, 2012). The increased access to research data improves the impact, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness, of scientific activities and funding.…”

This poster reports on the preliminary findings of a study that examines data curation work in institutional repositories (IR). The study identified three perceived roles played by IR staff (i.e., data curator, IR manager, and metadata specialist) and role‐specific sets of activities and skills. The findings of this study can inform the development of best practices and effective infrastructure support for data curation in the context of IRs, as well as teaching data curation in LIS schools.

Research data is increasingly seen as the most significant untapped resource in scholarship. Awareness and practice of referencing and citing research data is increasing, and different initiatives to unambiguously identify datasets are in place. Steps are being taken to identify the individuals who created or contributed to research outputs. Lack of interoperability between the different initiatives to identify datasets and contributors remains a major hurdle. The ODIN project (ORCID and DataCite Interoperability Network) tries to address this need. ODIN builds on the ORCID and DataCite initiatives to uniquely identify scientists and data sets and connect this information
