Dataset documentation quality assessment for Digital Curation

Documentation is not fun. Also, researcher are so familiar with their data that it is sometimes hard for them to evaluate the sufficiency of the documentation they provide. Solution : The library could provide a general standard as well as an advisory service to evaluate how well the standard was followed. The solution does not include assessment of whether discipline-specific standards or quality criteria are respected (that would be the role of peers). The general standard...

Management of scientific online persona

Maintaining one's publication list and contribution to the discipline is a tedious and time-consuming job. As ETH requires us to put everything into the research collection it is prime place from where to share this. At the moment exporting a bib file and bringing it else where is painfully slow. It would be great if other service platforms could be coupled more tightly. For instance, large publishers can share publications into the orcid profile and externally validate a record in the...

Dataset documentation quality assessment for Digital Curation

I think that Greg's suggestion for peer-review is more reasonable. Where the ETH library can help is to get researchers to documentation standards for different kind of data. It is really, really hard to choose a standard and make sure to correctly write it down. If ETH can provide help with that it will probably increase research output quality by a lot.

Dataset documentation quality assessment for Digital Curation

I think there are two sides to documentation. There is standard in terms of what needs to be documented, when, and where and there is quality in terms of does the documentation help users to get what they need.

The first point (standard) should be set by the research collection setting up guidelines for documenting different kind of data, giving examples and possible provide (automated) checking of standard adherence. This is usually already difficult because researchers tend to be very familiar with their data (while they produce/process it) and may be blind to usage issues of third parties. Getting standards into documenting would probably alleviate around 90% of usage problems.

The second point (quality) should indeed be resolved by peers. It is unreasonable to expect the research collection to be able to judge the documentation beyond fulfilling standard criteria. Towards this second goal, I like your suggestion for engaging the scholars of ETH to check the quality for their peers and recommend improvements. This is a more noble service and would help to put ETH research data at the forefront of quality management.

Obviously, ETH should not re-invent the wheel. There are many, many documenting standards for different kinds of data. It would be worth investigating which standards can be provided as templates and starting point.

Dear Metthew,
I really like this idea. Documenting is hard and this would improve the publication quality of researchers at ETH.
Best wishes,

Enhance ethz.geolocation metadata tag

Dear Elias,
this is a very important addition from a publication perspective. I think it is a must-have for the research collection. I will soon be having a lot of geo-referenced data would like to be able to use this as well.
Best wishes,

Silent Faces

Dear Jürgen,

this works well with my idea of Management of scientific online persona ( https://ethlibrary.crowdicity.com/post/627120 ) which would need such a personal page as part of it. I fully support this idea!

Best wishes,
Jascha

Management of scientific online persona

Dear Barbara,
I agree and I think that it is in the interest of the university to become that hub. On the one hand, the university can monitor research output more easily and justify its funding. On the other hand, researchers can spend less time with administering their work and instead keep adding more work to their resume improving the standing of themselves and the university.
Best wishes,
Jascha

Dear Greg,
I added the different services in the tag list of this suggestion. As people post more I will integrate them there so that you can easily read of the list of suggested services to integrate into the research collection.
Best wishes,
