Les données de la recherche Données brutes, traitées, dérivées ? Une distinction portant, à la fois sur le cycle de vie et la nature des données, s'est imposée progressivement, tout en suscitant de nombreuses questions et des débats entre chercheurs ; il s'agit de la distinction entre données brutes, traitées et dérivées. Les données "brutes" (raw data) correspondraient aux enregistrements directs, factuels, d'une réalité (par exemple, des relevés météorologiques). Mais la notion de donnée brute pose problème, d'abord en SHS, où les données (sociales, économiques, textuelles, etc.), sont toujours le produit d'une construction, d'une problématique de recherche, d'un contexte. En sciences humaines, les données ne sont jamais "brutes", mais bien "données" (voir le billet de Sylvie Fayet). Mais en sciences exactes, les données brutes dépendent aussi d'un contexte, d'un dispositif de recueil, etc. Données ouvertes ? Qu'est-ce qu'un jeu de données ?

Open Repository Blog : ALA Midwinter 2012 BioMed Central’s Open Repository recently exhibited at the ALA Midwinter Conference in Dallas. Warm and sunny, it was a great change of scenery with excellent food! In a climate of stretched budgets, attendance at the conference seemed low. However it was great that our representatives: Bob Schatz and Nish Thiru were kept very busy at the booth. It was also fantastic to see the support of open access from the attendees and for us to provide an opportunity to inform them about how Open Repository’s hosted solution could help them meet their green, open access needs. Bob Schatz presented a very well-received workshop entitled Institutional Repositories and the Open Repository Solution. If you would like to know more about how Open Repository could help your organization or receive a free demonstration of the service, please do get in touch.
Protein Data Bank - RCSB PDB A Structural View of Biology This resource is powered by the Protein Data Bank archive-information about the 3D shapes of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies that helps students and researchers understand all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture, from protein synthesis to health and disease. As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data. The RCSB PDB builds upon the data by creating tools and resources for research and education in molecular biology, structural biology, computational biology, and beyond. Use this website to access curated and integrated biological macromolecular information in the context of function, biological processes, evolution, pathways, and disease states.

re3data.org | Registry of Research Data Repositories List of Data Journals (in no particular order) (trac) We don't want to reinvent the wheel when it comes to writing guidelines for data journals, hence it makes sense to see what's out there in terms of pre-exisiting data journals, and what their guidelines are. Below is a (non-exhaustive, in no particular order) list of the data journals we know of, either through personal experience or through internet searches. (Thanks to Tom Pollard for the details about Ubiquity Press and Iryna Kuchma and Simon Hodson for pointing out other journals I missed.) Name of Data Journal Geoscience Data Journal Aims and Scope Geoscience Data Journal provides an Open Access platform where scientific data can be formally published, in a way that includes scientific peer-review. An online-only journal, GDJ publishes short data papers cross-linked to – and citing – datasets that have been deposited in approved data centres and awarded DOIs.
Beginners Guide to Social Media for OR2012 » Open Repositories 2012 As the conference approaches, we’ve been doing everything we can to get ready – getting our words-per-minute up, building up a tolerance to caffeine, and getting you all excited. One of the things we really want out of OR2012 is a good conversation. That means networking in person, and using this internet thing – we hear it’s sticking around. We’ll be using several different tools during OR2012 and we want to make sure that everyone’s familiar with them so you’ll find a guide here to using Crowdvine; Twitter; Lanyrd; Flickr; and Live blogging - click “Read More” below to browse through all of our tips or click on the one you are most interested in. Once you’ve had a change to try these out – or if you’re already an expert – then you should also take a look at our Your Conference Needs You post! And if you have any question at all just leave a comment here or email our social media officer, Nicola (nicola.osborne@ed.ac.uk) who will be happy to help. Crowdvine Twitter Lanyrd Flickr Finally…
To Share or not to Share? That is the (Research Data) Question… While public access to research articles is a fact of life for much of the scholarly community, access to research data – while a top priority for many governments and other funders, who see it as the key to future economic growth – remains a challenge. There are many reasons for this, both practical (eg, lack of infrastructure) and professional (eg, lack of credit, getting scooped). The publishing community can and does already help with the former, for example through support for NISO, CrossRef, CODATA, and other organizations and, increasingly, the development of data sharing and management solutions. Resolving the professional issues, however, will almost certainly require action by research funders and institutions. 2,886 researchers responded (3.2%), of whom 2,255 (2.5%) were actively working on a research project or had been in the last two years.

Open Repositories Repositories increasingly play a pivotal role in the emerging information landscape. Through a format that blends open user group meetings for DSpace, Fedora, and Eprints, followed by general conference sessions that cover cross-cutting and overarching issues, Open Repositories attempts to create opportunities to explore the challenges faced by user communities and others in today’s world. The many repository platforms available today are changing the nature of scholarly communication. Institutions such as universities, research laboratories, publishers, libraries, and commercial organizations are creating innovative repository-based systems that address the entire lifecycle of information — from supporting the creation and management of digital content, to enabling use, re-use, and interconnection of information, to ultimately ensuring long-term preservation and archiving. The OR2013 conference theme was Use, Reuse, Reproduce. Visit the conference website to learn more.
How to create a good data management plan Data management plans are growing in importance in the world of research. Not only are funders increasingly making these plans a requirement when researchers submit their grant applications, they are also a very useful tool to save researchers time and effort when running experiments. Additionally, they add value to the wider scientific community as well-organized data provides a great starting point for other researchers to carry out further analysis. But what are they? Data management plans simply describe how data will be acquired, treated and preserved both during and after a research project. Recently, Elsevier’s Publishing Campus hosted the webinar “Creating a good research data management plan”, produced in collaboration with the Dutch TechCentre for Life Sciences (DTL), with which Elsevier partners.
