Purpose
The Research Data Services Team collaboratively responds to the research data needs of members of the Notre Dame community by conducting research consultations, providing instruction, and making referrals on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to:
--Data management plans
--Data documentation/metadata guidance
--Data management tools (e.g., DMPTool, OSF, ORCID, ScienCV CurateND)
--Funder mandates and regulatory compliance
The RDS Team works with referral partners such as the Center for Research Computing, Center for Social Science Research, the Office of Information Technologies, ND Research, and with platform providers as appropriate related to best practices, authentication, upgrades, support, and training for new application features, tools, etc.
The RDS Team collaboratively maintains and supports campus institutional memberships related to select research data management (RDM) platforms. Members of the RDS Team, Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship, and the Library Information Technology Program collaboratively provide administrative and technical points of contact for the ND campus use use of cloud-based RDM systems such as DataCite (DOI minting for CurateND), DMPTool (data management plans), ORCID (researcher IDs), and the Open Science Framework (OSF).
The RDS Team serves as the Hesburgh Libraries’ conduit for RDM partner liaison communications with ND Research.
Co-Team Leaders: Monica Moore
Decision making scope:
The RDS team makes recommendations regarding essential memberships for provision of RDM services.
Currently the team recommends subscription/membership based RDM services(DOI, ORCID, etc) and ND’s RDS memberships are then managed as part of the NFCDS budget process.
The RDS Team decides what RDM platform personalization /localizations are implemented
The RDS Team collaboratively decides through our consult contact escalation flow who on the team handles which RDM consult inquiries and which are referred out of the library.
Time Frame: RDS is a Standing Team since 2011, previously known as the E-Research Team and then later evolved into the Research Data Management Team, then later the current RDS team
