Item Data Curation Network End User Survey 2021(2021-09-28) Wright, Sarah; Johnston, Lisa; Marsolek, Wanda; Luong, Hoa; Braxton, Susan; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Herndon, Joel; Carlson, Jake; jw256@cornell.edu; Wright, Sarah; Data Curation NetworkThis dataset includes the processed dataset from the 2021 End User Survey performed by the Data Curation Network.Item Enabling structures of collaborative endeavors: Suggestions for budding communities(2023) Narlock, Mikala; Luong, HoaThe Data Curation Network, a consortium of 17 academic and non-profit data repositories, recently transitioned to a sustainable, member-funded organization. As an example of a sustainable collaborative network, we wanted to remove the magic and mystery of collaboration and unpack the emotional, mental, and technical labor that went into establishing this network. We conducted a project retrospective in March 2022 to better understand what components of our collaborative efforts were most impactful to the success and sustainability of our network. We found that our work relies on radical interdependence: in addition to our work as a collective, we grow more comfortable and adept making decisions behind the veil of ignorance, channel our vulnerability, foster psychological safety and engage in earnest, even uncomfortable, conversations about our work, which allows us to foster collaborative solutions. In this poster, we describe the structures of radical interdependence, both tangible and intangible so participants can leave with a better understanding of the enabling factors of collaborative efforts. We will share information about three different types of critical structures that enabled the success of our work: tool-based structures, administrative structures, and trust-based structures. Presented virtually at RDAP 2023.Item Measuring the Value of Data Curation: Preliminary Results from the Data Curation Network(2019-04) Hadley, Hannah; Vitale, Cynthia; Johnston, Lisa R; Kozlowski, Wendy; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Hunt, Shanda; Luong, Hoa; Ge, LizhaoItem Researcher Approved: a Multi-institutional Survey of Depositors to Six Academic Data Repositories(2022) Wright, Sarah; Marsolek, Wanda; Luong, Hoa; Braxton, Susan; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Carlson, JakeThe Data Curation Network (DCN) is a collaborative network of curators advancing open research by making data more ethical, reusable, and understandable. Institutional members participate in and learn from a community of expert data curators and curate data via a cross-institutional shared staffing model. This enables institutions to submit data sets to the network when they are outside of our local expertise or when local curators are busy or absent. The collaborative network model benefits our curators; however we questioned whether there is an impact on depositors. In order to evaluate end user satisfaction with data curation services, we surveyed recent depositors over the past year and a half, regardless of whether they received curation locally or from DCN curators. The result was overwhelmingly positive: we enjoyed a high response rate and consistently laudatory feedback including many free-text responses testifying to the value of curation. In times of tight budgets and constricting services, it is good to have researcher testimonials and survey data to indicate the added value of curatorial review to the data sharing process, and evidence that a collaborative network of data curators benefits us all.Item Understanding the Value of Curation: Preliminary survey results of data curation practice and perception(2021-04-19) Curty, Renata; Johnston, Lisa R; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Hadley, Hannah; Luong, Hoa; Braxton, Susan; Petters, Jonathan; Carlson, Jake; Kozlowski, Wendy AnneItem Value of Curation Survey, January 2021(2021-08-30) Johnston, Lisa; Curty, Renata; Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Hadley, Hannah; Petters, Jonathan; Luong, Hoa; Braxton, Susan; Carlson, Jake; Kozlowski, Wendy A; rcurty@ucsb.edu; Curty, Renata; Data Curation NetworkThis dataset includes the raw and augmented survey results from the January 2021 Value of Curation survey run by the Data Curation Network. Distributed to US data repository staff and directors via email listservs the survey received a total of 120 responses. 22 responses were for non-US repositories and three did not provide a repository of reference. A majority of the participants self-identified as staff members with 52 staff and 34 repository directors. The remaining were 5 unaffiliated users, and 4 unaffiliated depositors. A third of the responses (68) were associated with certified CoreTrustSeal repositories, and 27 responses were related to members of the Data Curation Network (DCN).Item Value of Curation Webinar Slides(Data Curation Network, 2024) Lafferty-Hess, Sophia; Luong, Hoa; Marsolek, Wanda; Wright, SarahWhat is the impact of data curation? Do curated datasets have greater measurable value than non-curated datasets? How do researchers perceive the importance and value of the work performed by data curators? These are questions members of the Data Curation Network have been investigating. Through funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, we have been researching from different perspectives the value data curation provides. Members of the DCN conducted two surveys, one focusing on the repository managers and one on the researchers’ perspectives. The results overwhelmingly demonstrate what we felt all along: researchers value the work of data curators. This webinar dives into the collected data and invited active discussion.Item “We’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve got": Preservation practices of Data Curation Network members(2022) Luong, Hoa; Narlock, Mikala R.; Petters, JonathanOver the course of six weeks, members of the Data Curation Network were interviewed by then Assistant Director to discuss their research data preservation practices. Through these semi-structured interviews, several commonalities emerged, including key challenges that will need to be addressed to ensure the long-term reusability of research data as well as the similar mentality many institutions expressed: that they are doing the best they can with what they have. The authors conclude by identifying areas of potential future research as well as practical collaboration opportunities. This presentation was presented at iPRES (the International Digital Preservation Conference) in Glasgow, Scotland, September 2022.Item “We’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve got” : Preservation practices of Data Curation Network members(2022) Luong, Hoa; Narlock, Mikala R.; Petters, JonOver the course of six weeks, members of the Data Curation Network were interviewed by the Assistant Director to discuss their research data preservation practices.
