This is a self-archived version of an article published in Collaborative Librarianship. The content of this article is not different from what is in the journal (found here: http://digitalcommons.du.edu/collaborativelibrarianship/vol9/iss2/4)Recommended CitationSteeves, Vicky (2017) "Reproducibility Librarianship," Collaborative Librarianship: Vol. 9 : Iss. 2 , Article 4. Available at: https://digitalcommons.du.edu/collaborativelibrarianship/vol9/iss2/4Over the past few years, research reproducibility has been increasingly highlighted as a multifaceted challenge across many disciplines. There are socio-cultural obstacles as well as a constantly changing technical landscape that make replicating and reproducing research extremely difficult. Researchers face challenges in reproducing research across different operating systems and different versions of software, to name just a few of the many technical barriers. The prioritization of citation counts and journal prestige has undermined incentives to make research reproducible.While libraries have been building support around research data management and digital scholarship, reproducibility is an emerging area that has yet to be systematically addressed. To respond to this, New York University (NYU) created the position of Librarian for Research Data Management and Reproducibility (RDM & R), a dual appointment between the Center for Data Science (CDS) and the Division of Libraries. This report will outline the role of the RDM & R librarian, paying close attention to the collaboration between the CDS and Libraries to bring reproducible research practices into the norm.

The vision of NFDI4Chem is the digitalisation of all key steps in chemical research to support scientists in their efforts to collect, store, process, analyse, disclose and re-use research data. Measures to promote Open Science and Research Data Management (RDM) in agreement with the FAIR data principles are fundamental aims of NFDI4Chem to serve the chemistry community with a holistic concept for access to research data. To this end, the overarching objective is the development and maintenance of a national research data infrastructure for the research domain of chemistry in Germany, and to enable innovative and easy to use services and novel scientific approaches based on re-use of research data. NFDI4Chem intends to represent all disciplines of chemistry in academia. We aim to collaborate closely with thematically related consortia. In the initial phase, NFDI4Chem focuses on data related to molecules and reactions including data for their experimental and theoretical characterisation. This overarching goal is achieved by working towards a number of key objectives: Key Objective 1: Establish a virtual environment of federated repositories for storing, disclosing, searching and re-using research data across distributed data sources. Connect existing data repositories and, based on a requirements analysis, establish domain-specific research data repositories for the national research community, and link them to international repositories. Key Objective 2: Initiate international community processes to establish minimum information (MI) standards for data and machine-readable metadata as well as open data standards in key areas of chemistry. Identify and recommend open data standards in key areas of chemistry, in order to support the FAIR principles for research data. Finally, develop standards, if there is a lack. Key Objective 3: Foster cultural and digital change towards Smart Laboratory Environments by promoting the use of digital tools in all stages of research and promote subsequent Research Data Management (RDM) at all levels of academia, beginning in undergraduate studies curricula. Key Objective 4: Engage with the chemistry community in Germany through a wide range of measures to create awareness for and foster the adoption of FAIR data management. Initiate processes to integrate RDM and data science into curricula. Offer a wide range of training opportunities for researchers. Key Objective 5: Explore synergies with other consortia and promote cross-cutting development within the NFDI. Key Objective 6: Provide a legally reliable framework of policies and guidelines for FAIR and open RDM.

With the focus of the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to reach all stakeholders representing communities concerned with good clinical data management practices. We wanted to represent not only data managers but bio-statisticians, clinical monitors, data scientists, informaticians, and all those who collect, organize, analyze, and report on clinical research data. In our paper we will discuss the history of clinical data management in the US and its evolution from the early days of FDA guidance. We will explore the role of biomedical research focusing on the similarities and differences in industry and academia clinical research data management and what we can learn from each other. We will talk about our goals for recruitment and training for the CDM community and what we propose for increasing the knowledge and understanding of good clinical data practice to all – particularly our front-line data collectors i.e., nurses, medical assistants, patients, other data collectors. Finally, we will explore the challenges and opportunities to see CDM as the hub for good clinical data research practices in all of our communities.We will also discuss our survey on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the work of CDM in clinical research.

As research data management (RDM) has grown into an increasingly familiar service activity in academic libraries, there remains a knowledge gap for liaison and subject librarians attempting to take on these additional responsibilities. As one option to address this, the authors were contracted by ACRL to create a new full-day workshop targeting this specific audience. The result is the ACRL RoadShow, Building Your Research Data Management Toolkit: Integrating RDM into Your Liaison Work. Now in its second year, the RDM RoadShow has traveled extensively in the United States as well as one international trip and continues to assist in meeting the foundational RDM educational needs for liaison librarians and to identify where further education is desired.

This paper describes findings and projections from a project that has examined emerging policies and practices in the United States regarding the long-term institutional management of research data. The DataRes project at the University of North Texas (UNT) studied institutional transitions taking place during 2011-2012 in response to new mandates from U.S. governmental funding agencies requiring research data management plans to be submitted with grant proposals. Additional synergistic findings from another UNT project, termed iCAMP, will also be reported briefly.This paper will build on these data analysis activities to discuss conclusions and prospects for likely developments within coming years based on the trends surfaced in this work. Several of these conclusions and prospects are surprising, representing both opportunities and troubling challenges, for not only the library profession but the academic research community as a whole.

Abstract This collaborative paper looks at how libraries can engage with and offer leadership in the Open Science movement. It is based on case studies and the results of an EU-funded research project on Research Data Management taken from European research-led universities and their libraries. It begins by analysing three recent trends in Science, and then links component parts of the research process to aspects of Open Science. The paper then looks in detail at four areas and identifies roles for libraries: Open Access and Open Access publishing, Research Data Management, E-Infrastructures (especially the European Open Science Cloud), and Citizen Science. The paper ends in suggesting a model for how libraries, by using a 4-step test, can assess their engagement with Open Science. This 4-step test is based on lessons drawn from the case studies.
