Mission

SHARE is a higher education initiative whose mission is to maximize research impact by making research widely accessible, discoverable, and reusable. To fulfill this mission SHARE is building a free, open data set about research and scholarly activities across their life cycle.

Five System of Action Areas

ARL Framework

Open infrastructure for open access

OA advocacy & policy is more mature than OA infrastructure & implementation

OA implementation infrastructure should be open

MetadataStandards and identifiersCode, platforms, and APIs

The future of open scholarship

“We find ourselves two decades into the transition of research communication from a paper-based endeavor to a web-based digital enterprise, and

well into the transition of the research process itself from a largely hidden activity to one that

becomes plainly visible on the global network.”

Herbert Van de Sompel“Reminiscing About 15 Years of Interoperability Efforts” (DLib Magazine, Nov./Dec. 2015)

“... the world’s repositories need some common application programming interfaces (APIs). This is where SHARE is making huge strides, by pulling together data sets from many of the world’s most-used repositories, such as figshare. In turn, SHARE’s aggregating of data sets can feed discovery of content in sites that may not have the same exposure as figshare or discovery of data from across disciplines. “

Mark Hahnel, figshare

So this is just one example of missing metadata - but it's really important and as you can see - nearly totally missing.

The lifecycle approach

“All scholarly digital research objects—from data to analytical pipelines—benefit from application of these [FAIR data] principles, since all components of the research process must be available to ensure transparency, reproducibility, and reusability.”

Nature. Scientific Data Comment. Wilkinson, et al. “The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship” March 15, 2016.

Four forces driving academic behaviour

Research: enabling technology

Research: collaboration / internationalism

Government: Social pressure & accountability

How do we locate “research event”?

Isn’t funding also part of “location”?

What about Impact?

What else could we be tracking?

Research Data Mechanics

Understanding collaboration

Research Data Mechanics & Open DataResearch Data Mechanics of the type that we’ve described is only possible if:

1. People (researchers and administrators) capture data systematically – this means at the point of production wherever possible

2. Identifiers are assigned proactively –again, wherever possible at the point of production

3. Data are made openly available wherever reasonable (modulo ethics etc) –while its nice to have publishers and others do this for you, it’s also possible tobe active in this, e.g. VIVO, Profiles RNS, Dryad, Figshare etc.

4. Ideally, data are made available in structured open APIs.
