As Data Management & Curation Lead and co-director of the University Digital Conservancy I coordinate the library's efforts around digital scholarship and research data management, access, and archiving. Prior to this I served as library liaison to the Physics, Astronomy, and Geology departments (2007-2011). My research areas of focus are scientific data curation, citation analysis, information-seeking behavior and web development of user-centered tools to access information.

    Analyzed Data Management Plans (DMPs) from Successful University of Minnesota Grants from the National Science Foundation, 2011-2014
    (2015-03-31) Johnston, Lisa R; Bishoff, Carolyn; McGrory, John; Storino, Chris; Swendsrud, Anders; ljohnsto@umn.edu; Johnston, Lisa R
    Federal funding agencies are asking principal investigators (PIs) to specify their plans for describing, storing, securing, sharing, and preserving their research data in Data Management Plans (DMPs) included with their grant proposal. This change in sponsored research is best exemplified by the National Science Foundation (NSF) which in 2010 announced that all grants submitted after January 18th, 2011 must include a one- to two-page DMP with all new proposals. In order to review the plans for how University of Minnesota researchers plan to manage, store, describe, protect, and share and preserve their data, a review instrument was created and implemented by the University Libraries in the summer of 2014. Our local study of DMPs in successful NSF grant applications from January 2011 - June 2014 was opt-in by U of M PIs and the libraries collected 182 data management plans for our study, accounting for 41% of the total number of plans solicited. The deidentified data used in our analysis and our survey instrument are presented here.

    Data supporting “Data Sharing Readiness in Academic Institutions” Version 1.0
    (2020-01-15) Johnston, Lisa R; Coburn, Liza; ljohnsto@umn.edu; Johnston, Lisa R; University Libraries
    To address how has the academic landscape for data repository and curation services changed we used website content analysis to better understand data repository services in academic research libraries, building on the 2017 ARL Spec Kit for Data Curation (Hudson-Vitale et al., 2017a). Of the 124 ARL institutions we chose to focus on academic institutions, and therefore excluded 10 civic libraries. For each of the remaining 114 ARL institutions we asked four research questions: Do they support data sharing via data repository services? How many datasets did they hold as of January 2020? What digital repository software platform was in use? How do our results compare with the 2017 ARL SPEC Kit data.

    Data supporting: "Testing Our Assumptions: Preliminary Results from the Data Curation Network"
    (2020-06-04) Coburn, Elizabeth; Johnston, Lisa R; ecoburn@umn.edu; Coburn, Elizabeth; Data Curation Network; University Libraries
    Data were collected during the first year of the Data Curation Network's pilot shared data curation service. These data and analysis of these data are the basis of the findings presented in the associated manuscript.

    Level of curation self-reported by 100 CoreTrustSeal certified repositories (2017-2019)
    (2021-02-10) Johnston, Lisa R; ljohnsto@umn.edu; Johnston, Lisa R; Data Curation Network
    This dataset extracts and makes machine-actionable the responses to the "Level of curation performed" component of the CoreTrustSeal application v01 (2017-2019). The author reviewed 100 applications in pdf file format and compiled the responses into one spreadsheet for further analysis. Additionally, the CTS application instructions for v01 were parsed in order to analyze the completed applications and included here in a spreadsheet.

    Promotional Practices of Research Data Repositories, 2015
    (2015-08-19) Gerwig, Katherine; Johnston, Lisa R; katherine.gerwig@metrostate.edu; Gerwig, Katherine
    Research data repositories are a relatively new service offered to researchers by their institutions. They typically fall under the purview of the library and share much in common with the institutional repository. This survey was delivered to academic data repository staff in order to understand how they are promoting research data repositories in the summer of 2015. The results will provide insights into how best to promote the repositories to researchers.

    Supplementary Data for 'How Important Are Data Curation Activities to Researchers? Gaps and Opportunities for Academic Libraries'
    (2018-02-06) Johnston, Lisa R; Carlson, Jake; Hudson-Vitale, Cynthia; Imker, Heidi; Kozlowski, Wendy; Olendorf, Robert; Stewart, Claire; ljohnsto@umn.edu; Johnston, Lisa; Data Curation Network
    Building on past user-needs assessments performed via survey and focus groups, the authors sought direct input from researchers on the importance of and utilization of specific data curation activities. Methods: Between October 21, 2016, and November 18, 2016, the study team held focus groups with 91 participants at six different academic institutions to determine which data curation activities were most important to researchers and which activities were happening for their data, and to understand how satisfied they were with the results. Supplementary data tables expand on the selected data presented in the paper. The two survey protocols, card rating exercise template and worksheet template, were used in our engagement sessions and are presented here for reuse.
