Description

In the second webinar of the three-part Realities of Data Management webinar series, we continue to explore the factors influencing institutional decision making when developing resources and support for research data management. Here we present an incentives model that shapes local needs. Drawing on our research we discuss the following incentives:   

• Compliance: meeting data management and sharing mandates from external funders, journals, agencies, or institutions  
  
• Evolving scholarly norms: increasing interest in data sharing and reuse as part of a broader movement for open science   
• Institutional strategy: elevating RDM to an institutional priority   
• Researcher demand: supporting data management, sharing, and reuse needs   

This webinar is intended to provide a model for institutions to identify and act on locally relevant incentives, which we believe is essential for optimizing decision making for institutions.   

This webinar is second in a three-part series based upon The Realities of Research Data Management series published by OCLC Research in 2017-18. It will be of interest to library leaders and scholarly communications librarians. Given the enterprise nature of research data management, it will also be relevant to other institutional stakeholders including deans, research administrators, institutional researchers, and IT professionals. Interested RLP members may also choose to participate in an accompanying RDM Interest Group community.

Works in Progress: An OCLC Research Occasional Webinar Series

These webinars are exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners, but the recordings are publicly available to all.

Works in Progress: An OCLC Research Occasional Webinar Series to talk about work happening in OCLC Research – we'd like to present our work informally and get feedback from you, our Partners. We'd also like this to be a venue for Partner institutions. What are you working on that everyone should know about? What input would help you move forward? Let us know!
