Abstract This study explores the feasibility of using strontium isotope ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) analyses enamel from domestic dogs Canis familiaris ) to investigate networks exchange in prehistoric Circum‐Caribbean. Dog teeth were obtained burial and contexts two sites (Anse à la Gourde Morel) on Grande‐Terre, Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles). Strontium results compared with local biosphere Sr data at scale site, island archipelago. The indicate both nonlocal origins three (30%) identified as (one Anse...
Abstract Objectives Isotopic analyses using human dental enamel provide information on the mobility and diet of individuals in forensic archeological studies. Thus far, no study has systematically examined intraindividual coupled strontium (Sr), oxygen (O), carbon (C) isotope variation or effect that caries have isotopic integrity enamel. The inadequate quantification affects interpretations may constrain sample selection elements affected by caries. This aims to quantify provides...
The analysis of strontium isotope ratios in human dental enamel has become important the fields archaeological and forensic science for determining provenance hence mobility. prerequisite approach relies on a correlation between dietary Sr intake underlying local geology. This premise is brought into question anthropological investigations by increasing globalisation food supply, establishment nation-wide or international supermarket chains, urbanisation. To better understand processes that...
The Scientific Reform Movement has highlighted the need for large research teams with diverse skills. This necessitated growth of professional team infrastructure roles (TIRs) who support through specialised skills, but do not have primary responsibility conceiving or leading projects. TIRs such as Lab Technicians, Project Managers, Data Stewards, Community and Research Software Engineers all play an important role in ensuring success a project, are commonly neglected under current reward...
The Data Stewardship project is a new initiative from the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in Netherlands. Its aim to create mature working practices and policies regarding research data management across all TU faculties. novelty this relies on having dedicated person, so-called ‘Data Steward’, embedded each faculty approach more discipline-specific perspective. It within framework that survey was carried out at faculties had Steward place by July 2018. goal get an overview general...
Journal editors have a large amount of power to advance open science in their respective fields by incentivizing and mandating policies practices at journals. The Data PASS Editors Discussion Interface (JEDI, an online community for social journal editors: www.dpjedi.org) has collated several resources on embedding editing (www.dpjedi.org/resources). However, it can be overwhelming as editor new know where start. For this reason, we created guide how get started with science. outlines steps...
Inclusion at academic events is facing increased scrutiny as the communities these serve raise their expectations for who can practically attend. Active efforts in recent years to bring more diversity have brought progress and created momentum. However, we must reflect on determine which underrepresented groups are being disadvantaged. important ensure of discourse opinion, help build networks, avoid siloing. All contribute development a robust resilient field. We developed Ten Simple Rules...
This is the first comprehensive study of<sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd composition of human tissues, exploring its potential for provenancing.
Human provenance studies employing isotopic analysis have become an essential tool in forensic and archaeological sciences, with multi-isotope approaches providing more specific location estimates compared to single isotope studies. This study reports on the human provenancing capability of neodymium isotopes (143Nd/144Nd), a relatively conservative tracer environment. Neodymium ratios only recently been determined remains due low concentrations dental enamel (ppb range), requiring thermal...
The uptake of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) has increased in recent years and improved the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability Reusability (FAIR) various research related objects (e.g., data, software, researchers organisations). PIDs for physical aspects (such as samples, artefacts, reagents analyses instruments) thus far been embraced primarily use fields Earth life Sciences. Wider adoption can improve findability accessibility these resources, which will allow data to be put into...

In this paper, we explain our strategy for developing research data management policies at TU Delft. Policies can be important drivers institutions in the implementation of good practices. As Rans and Jones note (Rans 2013), “Policies provide clarity purpose may help framing roles, responsibilities requisite actions. They also legitimise making case investment”. However, policy development often tends to place researchers a passive position, while they are ones managing on daily basis....
This work presents 10 rules that provide guidance and recommendations on how to start up discussions around the implementation of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles creation standardised ways working. These will be particularly relevant if you are unsure where start, who involve, what benefits barriers standardisation are, little has been done in your discipline standardise research workflows. When applied, these support a more effective way engaging community...
Research data management (RDM) is increasingly important in scholarship. Many researchers are, however, unaware of the benefits good RDM and unsure about practical steps they can take to improve their practices. Delft University Technology (TU Delft) addresses this cultural barrier by appointing Data Stewards at every faculty. By providing expert advice increasing awareness, Stewardship project focuses on incremental improvements current software sharing This change accelerated Champions who...
Open community resources are increasingly used to promote open research practices, and themselves an practice. They a powerful way create shared ownership of resource provide agency add or change them. However, they also present new struggles around embedding them in institutional practice, which we experienced our own work.
Physical samples and their associated (meta)data underpin scientific discoveries across disciplines, can enable new science when appropriately archived. However, there are significant gaps in community practices infrastructure that currently prevent accurate provenance tracking, reproducibility, attribution. For the vast majority of samples, descriptive metadata is often sparse, inaccessible, or absent. Samples may also be scattered numerous physical collections, data repositories,...
The article aims at starting a conversation around 10-step checklist providing practical recommendations on how to facilitate community discussions the creation of standards implement FAIR.
