    Code Curation Curriculum
    (Data Curation Network, 2024) Cooper, Talya; Janée, Greg; Maye, Kay P.; Ruhs, Nick; Erickson, Seth
    A collection of materials used to instruct individuals how to curate code data generated as part of the Data Curation Network Institute of Museum and Library Science (IMLS) grant “Developing Specialized Data Curation Training to Address Needed Expertise in Focused Areas" and taught at a pilot workshop in October 2023. This is primarily targeted towards data stewards, but can be used by any and all when instructing on code data curation concerns. Copies of files are also available in GitHub [https://github.com/DataCurationNetwork/curation-curriculum/tree/main/Specialized%20Data%20Types], which represent the dynamic versions of the curriculum that might be updated and revised as the curriculum is iterated upon.

    Institutional data repositories are vital
    (Science, 2024-09) Darragh, Jen; Narlock, Mikala R.; Burns, Halle; Cerda, Peter A.; Cowles, Wind; Delserone, Leslie; Erickson, Seth; Herndon, Joel; Imker, Heidi; Johnston, Lisa R.; Lake, Sherry; Lenard, Michael; Hofelich Mohr, Alicia; Moore, Jennifer; Petters, Jonathan; Pullen, Brandie; Taylor, Shawna; Wham, Briana
    As funding agencies and publishers reiterate research data sharing expectations, many higher-education institutions have demonstrated their commitment to the long-term stewardship of research data by connecting researchers to local infrastructure, with dedicated staffing, that eases the burden of data sharing. Institutional repositories are an example of this investment. They provide support for researchers in sharing data that might otherwise be lost: data without a disciplinary repository, data from projects with limited funding, or data that are too large to sustainably store elsewhere. The staffing and technical infrastructure provided by institutional repositories ensures responsible access to information while considering long-term preservation and alignment with international standards. To ensure continued access to invaluable research data, it is essential that publishers and funding agencies recognize institutional repositories as responsible and reliable data sharing solutions.
