Assessing metadata and curation quality: a case study from the development of a third-party curation service at Springer Nature

Since 2017, the publisher Springer Nature has provided an optional Research Data Support service to help researchers deposit and curate data that support their peer-reviewed publications. This service builds on a Research Data Helpdesk, which since 2016 has provided support to authors and editors who need advice on the options available for sharing their research data. In this paper we describe a short project which aimed to facilitate an objective assessment of metadata quality, undertaken during the development of a third-party curation service for researchers (Research Data Support). We provide details on the single-blind user-testing which was undertaken, and the results gathered during this experiment. We also briefly describe the curation services which have been developed and introduced following an initial period of testing and piloting. This paper will be presented at the International Digital Curation Conference 2019, and has been submitted to the International Journal of Digital curation.

The impact on authors and editors of introducing Data Availability Statements at Nature journals

This paper describes the adoption of a standard policy for the inclusion of data availability statements in all research articles published at the Nature family of journals, and the subsequent research which assessed the impacts that these policies had on authors, editors, and the availability of datasets. The key findings of this research project include the determination of average and median times required to add a data availability statement to an article; and a correlation between the way researchers make their data available, and the time required to add a data availability statement. This paper will be presented at the International Digital Curation Conference 2018, and has been submitted to the International Journal of Digital curation.

Standardising and harmonising research data policy in scholarly publishing

Practice paper Practice paper References Research data policies influence researchers willingness to share research data to varying extents (Meadows, 2014; Schmidt, Gemeinholzer, & Treloar, 2016). A growing number of research funders and institutions are introducing policies on research data sharing. These include the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Gates Foundation, the EU Horizon 2020 programme, Wellcome Trust and the seven UK research councils (Hahnel, 2015). Policy requirements vary, with some requiring researchers to prepare data management plans and others, such as the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), requiring evidence of public data archiving to be included in published research papers. To support publication of more reproducible research scholarly journals, societies and conferences ...
