About This Webinar
Consistency in metadata is repeatedly discussed as problem in information management and delivery of digital resources. One core element of that metadata is the use of controlled vocabularies and authority control. These methods can also be applied to various elements of the research process. Recently, a variety of projects have gained traction within the research community to identify elements of the process that will support discovery, linking and interaction with research outputs. These systems and approaches include ORCID, DataCite, Crossref Funder IDs, CREDIT and others. This webinar will focus on the role that libraries and publishers can play in fostering these systems in their work. In addition to updates on a few of these initiatives, this webinar will also highlight the implementation of these systems in the research lifecycle.
Event Sessions
Attribution from a Research Library Perspective
Speaker
This talk summarizes the lifecycle of research attribution, with special attention to person identifiers and contributor roles. The talk describes and discusses ORCID’s new “collect-and-connect” program, and the CASRAI CRediT contributor taxonomy as exemplars of emerging good practice. We close by describing how identifiers are being incorporated into a broader range of scholarly outputs, such as software.
Data, Metadata, and Data Citation: Insights from PLOS
Speaker
In a world where authors are requested to comply with a variety of editorial policies, including requirements around data availability from Institutions, funders, and publishers, sensible and informed approaches are needed to ensure adoption of best practices. We will discuss PLOS’ data policy and our editorial and technical efforts to support data deposition, identification and discovery.
How libraries can support the identification and discovery of scholarly output.
Speakers
Libraries have an important role to play in demonstrating the potential of new tools that support the identification and discovery of scholarly output. The NCSU Libraries designed a successful local workshop on the topic of building and understanding scholarly identity for researchers as a part of the Summer of Open Science workshop series. This talk will introduce the topics we covered; including researcher identifiers, social media, and SEO for scholarly websites; and share lessons learned.
