Research data as first class objects
- A call to generate more Open Source software to automate collection of Metadata from chemical research objects:
Javascript InChI generator
- A DOI is for machines as well as humans!
- No mandatory landing pages for Data (→ FAIR data mining)
- Training:
- Part of the PhD inductions + Creation of an RDM plan
- RDM part of the PhD final examinations/viva
- Ensuring integration of closed/secure research data management (e-lab notebooks, Arkivum)
- with the open research data management outcomes required by funding councils.
- The impact of publishers commercialising RDM:
- Publishers are reinventing themselves as Research Facilitators
- APCs → DPCs (Article → Data processing charges!) as part of the research
facilitation
- Is the future of research data repositories institutional or publisher-based?
- The re-invented role of librarians (≡ Research Data Managers)
- Local librarians → Local data managers?
- How will RDM outcomes feature in Impact metrics?
