Past Webinars

Since the founding of the RDA Data Usage Metrics Working Group, the community has focused on accessible ways to standardize and build open data metrics. Join to hear about the latest tools and resources from DataCite and Make Data Count to support repositories in data usage metrics and where the larger RDA community can go to support researchers in data research assessment metrics.

This webinar will present initial outputs from the RDA’s Professionalising Data Stewardship Interest Group (PDS-IG) and discuss potential directions for future work.  Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, suggest future areas of inquiry, and discuss ways to better connect the PDS-IG’s efforts with organisations and individuals within and outside of the Research Data Alliance. 

This webinar may be of interest to program officers and policy-makers interested in fostering data stewardship practices at a national and global scale, leaders managing or developing data stewardship programs, scholars of data stewardship, and research data stewards seeking resources.

If you work within the research community (principal investigator, professor, researcher, data scientist, manager, etc.), you know there is a huge amount of commitment and expertise required to move projects from inception to completion.  Multi-tasking, shifting priorities, and resource constraints are common, with the focus frequently being on meeting deadlines and moving on to the next project.  Capturing attention from colleagues all over the world, who have the power to act on these insights and effect change, is a whole other job – and can be as large as formulating the group’s position, to begin with. This webinar will offer strategies for getting outputs into the right hands and promoting engagement.

This webinar is designed for the Chairs and Members of the RDA Working and Interest Groups, but anyone interested in this topic is invited and welcome to attend.  The recording of Part 1 of this series can be found here.  

Imagine a dream scenario for Open Data advocates: A working field station that supports scientists with research data management practices that allow for their data to be used beyond the initial purpose of the project! Tetiaroa is such a place! Come join this webinar and hear about how the FAIR Island Project supports researchers and translates the broader FAIR principles into optimal data policies and technical infrastructure by leveraging RDA outputs including standards that support networked, machine-actionable Data Management Plans (DMPs), and Persistent Identifiers (PIDs). Leveraging the global research data management community’s work, FAIR Island provides a real-world example where data and knowledge collected on Tetiaroa will be curated and made openly available as quickly as possible.
