Dear all,
The current 2-pager with recommendations for researchers, the
recommendations for policy makers and funders as well as the decision tree
are merged into one document.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vNclWxIZJPbCUU36bzP8hffKO0Wc4eqavV2m…
Please start to comment here.
We suggest having one document to work on the consistency of the content
between the different sections and cross-referencing. The timeline for the
overall RDA WG document has changed (see table below) and there will also
be a structure change for the document.
We won’t have space for the long version of the 2-pager in the official RDA
document. Some of the comments in the long version are already integrated
in the 2-pager (please see new order of recommendations). The goal for the
long version is to publish it as white paper or extend it to a journal
paper after the RDA document is finalized in June.
Since writing on the long version is delayed by a month, calls for
organizing do not seem to be necessary in the next four weeks;-) I will
pick this up next month.
There is a meeting of the whole RDA COVID group in about three hours and
resulting from our last meeting a major topic will be authorship and
attribution.
Fotis and Hugh will follow up with more news after the meeting.
Thanks,
Sandra
