Introducing the MusicLab Copenhagen Dataset. Music & Science. 8. doi: 10.1177/20592043241303288. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  MusicLab Copenhagen was a unique research concert featuring the world-renowned Danish String Quartet in a naturalistic setting. The audience was split between one group physically located in the hall, another group listening to a radio broadcast, and a third group watching a live stream. Qualitative and quantitative data were captured from both musicians and audiences, resulting in a comprehensive dataset that can be used to address many research questions. This document introduces the dataset, explains its structure, and reflects on the related data collection, storing, publishing, and archiving processes.

  Research data sharing is embedded in policies, guidelines and requirements commonly promoted by research funding organizations that demand data to be “as open as possible, as closed as necessary” and FAIR. This paper discusses the challenges of balancing privacy protection with data sharing in a PhD project involving long-tail, small-sized qualitative human subjects’ data. Based on experiences and feedback from project participants, we argue that privacy protection is about respecting the participants and their self-image. This can be achieved through dialogue and involvement of the participants building on the principles of shared stewardship. Further, we suggest that de-identification and plain language consent materials are better at protecting privacy than anonymisation, which in a digital data environment is difficult to achieve and not necessarily a sensible approach for qualitative data, where the gold is in the details. The literature indicates that it matters to participants whether data are reused for research or other purposes, and that they trust the institutions. This supports our claim that research data services must find better solutions for restricted sharing when necessary.

  The widespread use of digital tools to access scientific literature and other relevant information combined with a shift towards Open Research is changing how research is conducted and academic libraries are adapting their research support services to respond to this change. In this paper, we present the case of MusicLab, and especially MusicLab Copenhagen – Absorption with The Danish String Quartet, which served as a mechanism for the University of Oslo Library to test how it can support researchers in developing Open Research practices. MusicLab is a collaboration between the University of Oslo Library and the University of Oslo's Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion. Through this case, we outline the role of the research library in supporting Open Research including the different legal and data management issues occurring when conducting open research on intellectual works and people. The insights from this paper will be useful for other academic libraries looking to expand their research support services and for researchers looking to further develop their Open Research practices.

  Introduction. The sharing and reuse of research data is gradually becoming best practice in research. However, multiple frictions exist between realising stakeholders’ ambitions for research and research data sharing and addressing legal, social and cultural imperatives for protecting data subjects’ privacy. Through identifying and addressing frictions between personal privacy and research, our paper offers advice to research data management services on how to approach personal privacy in research data, sharing using the research data life cycle as the context. Method. A three-phase Delphi study on a population comprising twenty-four stakeholders involved in research data curation in Norway. Data were collected during three consecutive rounds over fourteen months. Analysis. The data were analysed qualitatively using themes following exploratory sequential design methods. After three rounds of data collection, the entire corpus of data were connected and analysed thematically according to integrated analysis. Results. The findings show multiple tensions between maintaining research subjects’ right to privacy and advancing research through data sharing. This paper identifies and analyses three particular sources of tension: 1) maintaining trust with the research participants, 2) managing divergent views of privacy in international and intercultural research collaborations and 3) interpreting and applying policy. The divergent motivations and perspectives on privacy held by different stakeholders complicate these tensions. Conclusions. Researchers, research data management support staff and data organizations must reconcile these motivations and resolve tensions throughout the data life cycle, from collection to archiving and eventual sharing. Through dialogue and negotiation, all stakeholders involved in data sharing should aim to respect the research subjects’ own understandings of privacy.

  There is a current discussion in universities regarding the need for dedicated research data stewards. This article presents a set of fictional personas for research data support based on experience and requests by experts in different areas of data management. Using a modified Delphi study, 24 participants from different stakeholder groups have contributed to the skills and backgrounds necessary to fulfill the needs for data stewardship. Inspired by user experience (UX) methodology, different data personas are developed to illustrate the range of skills required to support data management within universities. Further, as a competency hub for data stewards, the development of a research data support center is proposed.

  A three-phase Delphi study was used to investigate an emerging community for research data management in Norway and their understanding and application of data management plans (DMPs). The findings reveal visions of what the DMP should be as well as different practice approaches, yet the stakeholders present common goals. This paper discusses the different perspectives on the DMP by applying Star and Griesemer’s theory of boundary objects (Star and Griesemer, 1989). The debate on what the DMP is and the findings presented here are relevant to all research communities currently implementing DMP procedures and requirements. The current discussions about DMPs tend to be distant from the active researchers and limited to the needs of funders and institutions rather than to the usefulness for researchers. By analysing the DMP as a boundary object, plastic and adaptable yet with a robust identity, translating between worlds (Star and Griesemer, 1989) where collaboration on data sharing can take place, we expand the perspectives and include all stakeholders. An understanding of the DMP as a boundary object can shift the focus from shaping a DMP which fulfils funders’ requirements to enabling collaboration on data management and sharing across domains using standardised forms.

  Research Data Alliance (RDA) ble lansert i 2013 som en medlemsdrevet organisasjon, med en overordnet målsetting om å tilrettelegge for åpen deling av forskningsdata på tvers av teknologier, fagfelt, og land. RDA Norge er den regionale gruppen for Norge, og har 235 medlemmer. Arbeidsgruppen for formidling og kompetansebygging er en fast gruppe under RDA Norge og består av medlemmer fra de institusjonelle medlemmene i RDA-Norge. Gruppens hovedformål er å bidra til nasjonal koordinering og økt kunnskap om ulike tema innen forskningsdatahåndtering, da dette er et felt i vekst der det skjer mye både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Målet for gruppen er å gjøre det lettere for kolleger i det norske praksisfeltet å holde seg oppdatert. Dette gjøres gjennom webinarserier og andre arrangementer, eksempelvis bidrag til OA Week, og erfaringsutveksling under konferanser som Research Data Alliance

  Academic libraries are being forced to innovate in the face of the increasingly digitalized nature of research. The creation of digital scholarship centres or programs is one way academic libraries are attempting to meet the evolving needs of researchers. Such centres are often highly heterogeneous, and implementation can be challenging. In this paper, we discuss the experiences gained during the development of the University of Oslo’s Digital Scholarship Centre and some of the challenges that remain to be resolved. We hope that these experiences can aid other academic libraries in their work towards developing new services that support digital research activities.

Forskningsdataarkiver og FAIR: Nye kurstilbud i tråd med nye tjenester og standarder. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  Universitetet i Oslo ble i fjor høst partnerinstitusjon i DataverseNO, et arkiv for deling av åpne forskningsdata. I den forbindelse har vi utvidet våre kurs- og veiledningstjenester i håndtering og arkivering av forskningsdata generelt og i DataverseNO spesielt. Vi fokuserer især på å nå ut til PhD-studenter og forskere i starten av karrieren med et godt kurs- og veiledningstilbud i datahåndtering og dataarkivering. Disse målgruppene uttrykker gjerne større interesse for åpen forskning og publisering, og hvordan sikre beste forskningspraksiser i henhold til FAIR-prinsippene. Å etablere gode rutiner for åpen forskning tidlig i en forskers karriere er dessuten en viktig investering i beste praksis når vi ser framover mot 2030 og standarden på framtidens forskningsrutiner. Datakuratorene ved Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo prioriterer derfor å nå ut til PhD-studenter og postdoktorer med kurs, workshops og veiledningstjenester innen beste praksis for håndtering og arkivering av forskningsdata, nå også i DataverseNO.  I denne presentasjonen vil vi dele våre erfaringer fra kurs og veiledningstjenester i håndtering, deling og arkivering av data generelt og i DataverseNO spesielt, inkludert fra en tre-timer lang workshop som vi holdt i januar 2023 under Digital Scholarship Days (DSC-Days). DSC-days (tidligere Research Bazaar) arrangeres av Senter for digital forskerstøtte (DSC) ved Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo. PhD-studenter og postdoktorer var sentrale blant målgruppen for disse workshop-dagene, og stipendiater representerte med 40% et betydelig flertall av de som deltok.  Vi vil også dele våre erfaringer med kuratering av data som publiseres i DataverseNO og hvordan vi kommuniserer med PhD-studenter og forskere i den forbindelse.  For å kunne tilby gode veilednings- og undervisningstjenester i arkivering av forskningsdata, og levere kyndige datakurateringstjenester, gjør vi også selv vårt ytterste for å videreutdanne oss og holde oss oppdatert om beste praksiser i håndtering, deling og arkivering av data. Universitetsbiblioteket i Oslo er deltaker i Kuratornettverk for FAIR forskningsdata, et prosjekt som har i sikte å opprette et nasjonalt nettverk for datakuratorer. Et slikt nettverk vil kunne styrke kompetansen til alle som kuraterer data og veileder i håndtering, deling og arkivering av data, og slik høyne standarden på forskningsrutiner rundt forskningsdata og -arkivering, og være til beste for fremtidens forskere.

  Data sharing requires collaboration on infrastructure and a knowledge exchange amongst stakeholders while these develop solutions aiming at increasing the quality of research through data curation. Divergent perspectives amongst key stakeholders on how and why data sharing is to take place create frictions in the collaboration and development of infrastructure. In addition, new roles are emerging to facilitate data management and data curation. The professional identity of these struggle with combining and maintaining highlevel expertise in multiple domains. The problem statement approaches these frictions by asking: How do the perspectives and expertise of key stakeholders involved in research data sharing affect the collaboration and knowledge transfer amongst these? By addressing this question, the thesis aims at understanding the relation between the perspectives and expertise of key stakeholders involved in research data sharing and how these perspectives affect the collaboration and knowledge transfer amongst the stakeholders. Designed as a three-phased, modified Delphi study with data collection during a 14-month period, the study captured parts of the development of infrastructure for research data sharing. The participant group consisted of 24 expert shareholders disseminating their experiences and perspectives on the sharing and curation of research data through two interviews and one survey. The results are based on the final analysis of all the data material. This is a thesis involving compilation of three articles and a narrative (Norwegian ‘kappe’). Each of the three articles addresses specific issues within research data sharing, namely by: 1) Exploring the different data steward roles; 2) Analysing the multiple perspectives on data management plans as a facilitator for data curation and sharing; and 3) How personal privacy can be balanced with high quality research through the research data lifecycle. The narrative lifts the perspective by addressing challenges that connect the three articles as a thread; divergent perspectives, roles, expertise, and the knowledge exchange taking place to facilitate research data sharing. The thesis contributes to the understanding of research data curation as a key to high quality research. Policy and infrastructural development are interconnected with the different stakeholder groups and the motivations and expertise they hold. However, the effort made to create strong infrastructural organizations risks changing the target. The findings show how additional goals and agendas amongst stakeholders risk obscuring the focus on research quality as the goal of data curation in interpretation and application of policy. For providers of research data services to succeed, it is necessary to combine practice, learning and recognition. This is best achieved through maintaining active memberships in multiple communities; primarily, it is necessary to keep the combination of researcher and research support up to date and to apply best practice from both communities. There is a need to rethink research data support services with a focus on the identity of data stewards as domain specialists and as data management experts. This requires community building and incentives for recognition of multiple memberships. Furthermore, different research support services within universities need to work together and re-think research data services based on a common goal of creating better research. In collaborations and infrastructure development, agreements on standards, entities and definitions help to facilitate knowledge exchange. These must be developed dynamically through experience and application. A transfer of knowledge occurs between the stakeholders as standards are applied and updated; this requires lines of communication where the stakeholders with multiple identities and stewardship communities function as translators of various perspectives and creators of common understandings.

  Digital research data collected in the sciences has the potential to be reused and shared openly. Several arguments for such sharing have come forward both from funders and researchers during the last decade. This study investigates the attitudes towards such reuse along with current traditions for sharing, reuse and the storage of research data in the universities, particularly the Life Sciences in Norway. A comprehensive survey has been conducted among researchers at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB) collecting data on various aspects of the ‘researcher – research’ data relationship. The two main focuses are practical issues regarding storage, sharing and reuse of research data and perspectives on the future of data sharing, issues regarding publishing channels and the usage of online research collaboratories are also covered. The research aims to create an understanding of how researchers handle the data they collect, how they retrieve research data for reuse from other sources and how they imagine the future potential of data sharing. Based on the understanding of these processes, recommendations for the implementation of data repositories are made. The collected data has been analyzed according to years of experience, research field and previous experience with data sharing as well as compared with data from previous studies in the field, in order to understand which factors influence the researchers’ opinion or experience. These factors are again discussed and analyzed before conclusions are drawn. The thesis concludes that the processes of data sharing are far from optimized as researchers today primarily retrieve data from colleagues. In order to create repositories for data sharing and storage, the researchers must improve their understanding of metadata to ensure that no information about the research data is lost. For the researchers to be willing to share their data certain criteria must be fulfilled, in addition, the fears among the researchers for misuse must be taken into account. Many of the attitudes towards the sharing of research data depend on where the researchers stand in their careers; experience with data sharing is to a larger extent dependent on the specific research discipline.
