They both perpetuate and result in a dominance of male, white, hetero, and cis perspectives in how we make sense of and interact with the world. The most prominent data gap is the gender data gap notably described by Criado-Perez (2020). However, not only women, but all marginalized groups are affected by such gaps, as data about them are frequently not collected due to a disregard on behalf of those in power of the need to do so. LGBTIQ+ people, considered a ‘hidden population’ by demographers, are a case in point. The acronym is used to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer people, as well as all people with non-normative sexual or gender identities, including asexual and agender people, who do not consider themselves as falling under one of these labels.\u0000A first step towards identifying and closing data gaps is to take stock of data that already exist. In this paper we give an overview of LGBTIQ+ data in European social science archives. We researched all data archives of CESSDA ERIC, the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives, and found 66 LGBTIQ+ datasets in 9 of the 34 member and associated archives and 1 former member archive. We discuss characteristics, coverages, and findability of the identified datasets and approach the question of potential data gaps by analyzing the keywords assigned to each dataset by the archive.","PeriodicalId":35375,"journal":{"name":"Data Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141813581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Insights on Sustainability of Earth Science Data Infrastructure Projects","authors":"A. Virapongse, James Gallagher, B. Tikoff","doi":"10.5334/dsj-2024-014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2024-014","url":null,"abstract":"We studied 11 long-term data infrastructure projects, most of which focused on the Earth Sciences, to understand characteristics that contributed to their project sustainability. Among our sample group, we noted the existence of three different types of project groupings: Database, Framework, and Middleware. Most efforts started as federally funded research projects, and our results show that nearly all became organizations in order to become sustainable. Projects were often funded for short time scales but had the long-term burden of sustaining and supporting open science, interoperability, and community building–activities that are difficult to fund directly. This transition from ‘project’ to ‘organization’ was challenging for most efforts, especially in regard to leadership change and funding issues.\u0000Some common approaches to sustainability were identified within each project grouping. Framework and Database projects both relied heavily on the commitment to, and contribution from, a disciplinary community. Framework projects often used bottom-up governance approaches to maintain the active participation and interest of their community. Database projects succeeded when they were able to position themselves as part of the core workflow for disciplinary-specific scientific research. Middleware projects borrowed heavily from sustainability models used by software companies, while maintaining strong scientific partnerships. Cyberinfrastructure for science requires considerable resources to develop and sustain itself, and much of these resources are provided through in-kind support from academics, researchers, and their institutes. It is imperative that more work is done to find appropriate models that help sustain key data infrastructure for Earth Science over the long-term.","PeriodicalId":35375,"journal":{"name":"Data Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140369304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solution presented here, consisting of an electronic laboratory notebook and laboratory information management system (ELN-LIMS) based on the openBIS (open Biology Information System) environment, offers interesting features and advantages, especially for interdisciplinary work. The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1411 ‘Design of Particulate Products’ of the German Research Foundation is characterized by the cooperation of different working groups of synthesis, characterization, and simulation, and therefore serves as a model environment to present the implementation of openBIS.

It brings together 17 research infrastructures (RIs) and networks to provide a broad range of services to infectious disease researchers. An efficient and structured treatment of data is central to ISIDORe’s aim to furnish seamless access to its multidisciplinary catalogue of services, and to ensure that users’ results are treated FAIRly. ISIDORe therefore requires a data management plan (DMP) covering both access management and research outputs, applicable over a broad range of disciplines, and compatible with the constraints and existing practices of its diverse partners. Here, we describe how, to achieve that aim, we undertook an iterative, step-by-step, process to build a community-approved living document, identifying good practices and processes, on the basis of use cases, presented as proof of concepts. International fora such as the RDA and EOSC, and primarily the BY-COVID project, furnished registries, tools and online data platforms, as well as standards, and the support of data scientists. Together, these elements provide a path for building an umbrella, FAIR-compliant DMP, aligned as fully as possible with FAIR principles, which could also be applied as a framework for data management harmonisation in other large-scale, challenge-driven projects. Finally, we discuss how data management and reuse can be further improved through the use of knowledge models when writing DMPs and, how, in the future, an inter-RI network of data stewards could contribute to the establishment of a community of practice, to be integrated subsequently into planned trans-RI competence centres.","PeriodicalId":35375,"journal":{"name":"Data Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135153534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A delivery working-paper from the group ( Hasan et al. 2021) concluded in summary that extracting useful information from traditional free-text based DMPs is problematic. While maDMPs are generally more FAIR compliant, and as such accessible to both humans and machines, more interoperable with other systems, and serving different stakeholders for processing, sharing, evaluation and reuse . Different DMP tools and templates have developed independently, to a varying degree, allowing for the creation of genuinely machine actionable DMPs. Here we will describe the first three tools or projects for creating maDMPs that were central parts of the original task group mission. We will get into a more detailed account of one of these, specifically the Stockholm University – EOSC Nordic maDMP project using the DMP Online tool, as described by Philipson (2021). We will also briefly touch upon some other current tools and projects for creating maDMPs that are compliant with the RDA DMP Common Standard (RDCS), aiming for integration with other research information systems or research data repositories. A possible conclusion from this overview is that the development of tools for maDMPs is progressing fast and seems to converge towards a common standard.

We found, with a few notable exceptions, a lack of clear policies and processes across institutes and no harmonisation in the approaches taken. We identified limited methods in place to cater for the development of Research Data Management Plans (RDMPs) across different disciplines, project types and no identifiable business intelligence (BI) for auditing or oversight. When interviewed, many researchers were not aware of their institution’s RDM policy, whilst others did not understand how it was relevant to their research. It was also discovered that primary materials (PM), which are often directly linked to the effective management of research data, were not well covered. Additionally, it was unclear in understanding who was the data custodian responsible for overall oversight, and there was a lack of clear guidance on the roles and responsibilities of researchers and their supervisors. These findings indicate that institutions are at risk in terms of meeting regulatory requirements and managing data effectively and safely. In this paper, we outline an alternative approach focusing on RDM ‘Planning’ rather than on RDMPs themselves. We developed simple-to-understand guidance for researchers on the redeveloped RDM policy, which was implemented via an online ‘RDM+PM Checklist’ tool that guides researchers and students. Moreover, as it is a structured tool, it provides real-time business intelligence that can be used to measure how compliant the organisation is and ideally identify opportunities for continuous improvement.","PeriodicalId":35375,"journal":{"name":"Data Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135838311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Belmont Forum requires an extensive document, a ‘Data and Digital Object Management Plan’ (D(DO)MP) for its awarded projects that is expected to be kept current over the life of the project. The D(DO)MP is intended to record team decisions about major tools and practices to be used over the life of the project for data and software stewardship, and for preservation of data and software products, aligned with the desired Open Science outcomes relevant to the project. Here we present one of the first instances of the use of Belmont’s D(DO)MP through a case study of the PARSEC project, a multinational and multidisciplinary investigation of the socioeconomic impacts of protected areas. We describe the development and revision of our interpretation of the D(DO)MP and discuss its adoption and acceptance by our research group. We periodically assessed the data management sophistication of team members and their use of the various nominated tools and practices. As a result, for example, we included summaries to enable the key components of the D(DO)MP to be readily viewed by the researcher. To meet the Open Science outcomes in a complex project like PARSEC, a comprehensive and appropriately structured D(DO)MP helps project leaders (a) ensure that team members are committed to the collaboration goals of the project, (b) that there is regular and effective feedback within the team, (c) training in new tools is provided as and when needed, and (d) there is easy access to a short reference to the tools and descriptions of the nominated practices.","PeriodicalId":35375,"journal":{"name":"Data Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136006037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To manage this data in a sustainable and adequate way, data management plans (DMPs) were established as a method. However, some researchers still do not create DMPs due to lack of time, resources and understanding of the needs. Furthermore, most of the existing templates and tools are largely unknown. In this article, we investigated the benefits and challenges of DMPs in two joint research projects of several academic institutions. For this, we described the process during the DMP creation, potential challenges and benefits experienced. We showed that a DMP with completely uniform content among the partner institutions was not possible due to individual and subject differences (e.g., in storage and policies). Instead, individual texts had to be formulated in some cases to overcome the diversity. This complexity could not be handled with the existing tools. Therefore, both projects created an own adapted template with some generic contents. Existing guidelines and internal project policies helped during the generation. We experienced that fewer people work more efficiently on a DMP than many and that all researchers within the project can profit from every individual DMP. Although we were not required to produce one, we recognised the associated benefits as a guide during the research process in joint projects.","PeriodicalId":35375,"journal":{"name":"Data Science Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71068516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
