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 Update on the Data Curation Network: RDAP 2021(2021-03-11) Petters, Jonathan; Marsolek, WandaBegun in 2016, the Data Curation Network is a network of US research data curators who pool their expertise to improve the reusability of datasets. In this lightning talk the recent and future activities of the Network will be discussed. The Network is soon ending its Sloan Foundation-funded phase and will be transitioning to a member-sustaining network. This transition and sustainability plan and how other research data curation services may participate in the Network in the future will be discussed. The Network’s newer initiative to address racial justice through its actions will be highlighted.Item 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 “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.
