The interactive workshop, part of the International Conference on ‘Future of Libraries’ to be organized jointly by IIM Bangalore and Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, aims to convey essential lessons to both novice and experienced researchers on good practices in planning, collecting, storing, using, sharing and preserving the data generated in any research project
08 February, 2019, Bengaluru: A workshop titled: ‘Good Practice Research Data Management’, a part of the International Conference on ‘Future of Libraries’ to be organized jointly by IIM Bangalore and Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, will be held at IIM Bangalore on February 27 (Wednesday), 2019, from 09.00 am to 12.00 pm.

Research Data Management (RDM) refers to good practice in planning, collecting, storing, using, sharing and preserving the data generated in any research project. Good data management practice offers a number of benefits to researchers, from ensuring continuing availability of their data to new collaboration opportunities and improving one’s impact. Both research funders and publishers increasingly expect that data resulting from research projects should be made available for scrutiny and reuse, whenever legal and ethical requirements allow. Academic libraries often provide their researchers with repository platforms, not just for deposit of open access outputs but increasingly for datasets as well.
When open data sharing is not possible, a public record of the data should be made available, noting its location in a repository or other conditions of access. In most cases a version of the data should be kept safe and retrievable for a specified period of time after the end of the project. In all cases, the creation of a Data Management Plan (DMP) can help to clarify what should become of the data, as well as how it should be handled during the life of the project. This interactive workshop will convey essential lessons to both novice and experienced researchers who may not yet be well-versed in RDM.
By the end of this session participants should: understand why they need to manage their research data effectively and efficiently; be aware of technical and ethical issues surrounding research data management; know some practical solutions to these issues, including for human subject research, and have confidence in creating an initial plan for managing the research data for their study.
The trainer, Robin Rice, Data Librarian and Head, Research Data Support, Library and University Collections, University of Edinburgh, UK, will make use of learning material created by herself and her team at the University of Edinburgh for staff and student workshops, as well as two online open educational resources: Research Data MANTRA (MANagement TRAining) and the Research Data Management and Sharing MOOC on the Coursera platform, co-created by the Universities of North Carolina and Edinburgh.
Researchers in Social Sciences and Humanities, Business, Economics, Management and Engineering, especially those with experience in conducting research projects involving data collection or handling, are encouraged to participate in the workshop.
The Future of Libraries Conference will be held at IIM Bangalore from February 26 (Tuesday) to February 28 (Thursday), 2019. This conference will address some of the fundamental issues pertaining to the redefinition of role of libraries in the digital domain and will attempt to narrow down the narratives on how libraries are transforming themselves to be relevant to the journey of learning, evolving cultures and improving human lives.
