For more than ten years, re3data, a global registry of research data repositories (RDRs), has been helping scientists, funding agencies, libraries, and centers with finding, identifying, referencing RDRs. As the world's largest directory RDRs, re3data currently describes over 3,000 RDRs on basis comprehensive metadata schema. The service allows searching for any type from all disciplines, users can filter results based wide range characteristics. RDR descriptions are available as Open Data...

<p class="p1">The persistent identifier (PID) landscape extends to cover objects, individuals and organisations engaged in the process of research. Established services such as DataCite, Crossref, ORCID ISNI are providing a foundation for trusted ecosystem new generation services. Scalable systems will support researchers capture research activity holistic way, across entire lifecycle. Challenges remain – siloed not interoperable; important types objects adequately covered, many processes...

Opportunities for Data Exchange (ODE) is a FP7 Project carried out by members of the Alliance Permanent Access (APA), which gathering evidence to support strategic investment in emerging e-Infrastructure data sharing, re-use and preservation. With ever increasing availability data, best way ensure its sharing becoming prominent issue. Finding understanding are first steps such process good citation an important prerequisite enable this. New roles evolving researchers this with managing,...

Purpose Advancements in Internet technologies greatly influence digital humanities, yet research investigating web3 (i.e. the blockchain-based, decentralised web) within that domain remains limited. The purpose of this paper is to address gap, presenting a state-of-the-art synthesis web3-related for humanities infrastructures and exploring associated risks challenges. Design/methodology/approach Following review literature, authors scope out ways blockchain technology, peer-to-peer storage...

This report details the work (April-July 2015) of Unlocking Thesis Data, where project carried out a survey EThOS institutions, interviewed staff at six universities for more in-depth case studies, and synthesised findings. Overall, there is much appetite applying DOIs to theses their data (which includes datasets, software components other non-textual supplementary files) ORCiDs research students. Glasgow, Southampton East London each minted DOI an existing thesis, demonstrating viability...

Datasets are now an integral part of scholarly communication. The result is that research data has become a reality in library and information science, its curation requires dedicated workflows. Here, we compare two disciplinary examples from High-Energy Physics Humanities Social Sciences, both referenced to the OAIS conceptual model. Even though know datasets their metadata (preparation curation) very different disciplines, it can be seen workflow models similar, including assignment...

The way that researchers generate, analyse and share information keeps evolving at a rapid pace. To ensure it is well equipped to serve its global user base for years come, the British Library transforming works too, from physical buildings digital service portfolio. One key programme, Everything Available, will Library’s continued support research with services enable access in an open timely manner. This paper describe activities planned within particular focus on aims of recently...

By their very nature PhD theses break new ground and advance research. They are often the first scholarly output produced by early researchers, it makes sense to embrace initiatives like identifiers right at beginning of research process. Applying Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) all encouraging doctoral students hold an ORCID iD will: - Provide easily citeable data - Grow usage, support metrics & altmetrics - Embed good data management practice on - Help track career paths impact...
