Funding agencies, professional societies, and journals now have a range of data-sharing requirements. Knowing this, the Data Institute for Societal Challenges and University Libraries hosted “Data Curation and Long-term Archival Storage at OU,” a roundtable discussion on the policies and logistics of curation and archival storage of data and creative products that can help improve the impact of scholarly work of OU researchers, on Sept. 7 in the Bizzell Memorial Library.
During the event, more than two dozen faculty and staff from across the OU campus learned about current and anticipated requirements by funders for long-term access to research data, the importance of curation with metadata versus unmediated storage, current tools and services available at OU, new capabilities that OU should be developing or buying into in the future, and more.
