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.

Research in many academic fields today generates large amounts of data. These data not only must be processed and analyzed by the researchers, but also managed throughout the data life cycle. Recently, some academic libraries have begun to offer research data management (RDM) services to their communities. Often, this service starts with helping faculty write data management plans, now required by many federal granting agencies. Libraries with more developed services may work with researchers as they decide how to archive and share data once the grant work is complete.

Research Data Management

Purpose Research data management (RDM) has been called a “ground-breaking” area for research libraries and it is among the top future trends for academic libraries. Hence, this study aims to systematically review RDM practices and services primarily focusing on the challenges, services and skills along with motivational factors associated with it. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review method was used focusing on literature produced between 2016–2020 to understand the latest trends. An extensive research strategy was framed and 15,206 results appeared. Finally, 19 studies have fulfilled the criteria to be included in the study following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Findings RDM is gradually gaining importance among researchers and academic libraries; however, it is still poorly practiced by researchers and academic libraries. Albeit, it is better observed in developed countries over developing countries, however, there are lots of challenges associated with RDM practices by researchers and services by libraries. These challenges demand certain sets of skills to be developed for better practices and services. An active collaboration is required among stakeholders and university services departments to figure out the challenges and issues. Research limitations/implications The implications of policy and practical point-of-view present how research data can be better managed in the future by researchers and library professionals. The expected/desired role of key stockholders in this regard is also highlighted. Originality/value RDM is an important and emerging area. Researchers and Library and Information Science professionals are not comprehensively managing research data as it involves complex cooperation among various stakeholders. A combination of measures is required to better manage research data that would ultimately move forward for open access publishing.

Clinical Research Data

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.

Open Access Resources

The study aims to determine: (1) the number of open access resources for research data management publications indexed by Scopus, including the year of publication, source of publication, authors, institutions, countries, types of documents and funding agencies; (2) mapping research data management based on keywords. The results of the study showed that the number of open access resources for research data management publications has started since 1981 and the number has continued to increase starting in 2014 and the highest number occurred in 2019, namely 49 publications. The most publicized journals that open access to research data management was the Data Science Journal, which was 11 publications. The most productive author of conducting research data management publications was Cox, A.M. and Pinfield, S. The largest institutions contributing to the publication of open access research data management were the University of Toronto and New York University. The countries that contributed the most were the United States with 50 publications, then China with 38 publications. The most open access research data management in the form of articles as many as 107 and 37 conference paper publications. The institutions that provided the most funding sponsors were the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the National Science Foundation. The results of keyword mapping with VOSViewer showed that big data, research data management, information management, data management, medical research topics, software, information processing, and metadata were the most researched topics.
