Peran Pustakawan Data Dalam Meningkatkan Literasi dan Kapasitas Pengelolaan Data Penelitian bagi Komunitas Penelitian dan Profesional Informasi di Indonesia

Abstract

Data librarians are responsible for managing research data, who play an active role in improving the literacy and capacity of the research community and information professionals. Some Indonesian programmes have emerged, but their role and readiness have not been studied. The aspects of personnel readiness to support research data management (RDM) are further discussed in this research, as obligated on the National System for Science and Technology Act No. 11 of 2019. This study was conducted to investigate the readiness of librarians, academic communities, and information professionals in managing research data. A mixed method was used in this research. Firstly, a poll survey was digitally distributed in thematic seminar discussions on data management to librarians and scientists performing RDM tasks. Then, more detailed information about the role of librarians in managing research data was gathered from selected informants on FGD. The study found several points about the role of data librarians in improving data literacy and capacity through advocacy, workshops, seminars, training, and apprenticeship development. We then called for the involvement of all stakeholders, the scientific community, and information professionals to encourage them to continue working together in building a good data management ecosystem through innovative and collaborative programs. The results of this study could be a policy recommendation for the development of the status of library functions by the supervisory authority, the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia. The scientific community could use them to raise awareness and capacity for research data management from all institutions as data owners (scientific community) and data managers (data librarians).

Kompetensi Pustakawan Balitbangtan dalam Pengelolaan Data Penelitian Pertanian

“…Mengonsep dan memahami proses kurasi data penelitian Menurut Tammaro et al (2017) kurasi data merupakan wilayah tanggung jawab antara peneliti, pustakawan, dan profesional informasi di lingkungan perpustakaan (Nashihuddin 2019). Saat ini pengembangan bidang kurasi data digital berkembang secara cepat dan pada tahun 2007 peran kurasi data digital menjadi topik perdebatan terbaru baru dalam dunia penelitian, kebijakan, dan pendidikan (Kusumaningrum, Triasih, & Riyanto 2019;Nashihuddin 2019). Kemampuan pustakawan/pengelola perpustakaan Balitbangtan dalam mengkonsep dan proses kurasi data penelitian dan upaya penyelamatan data penelitian berdasarkan uji deskripsi didapat bahwa mereka (a) mampu menilai dan memilih data riset pertanian yang sudah diinput ke database; (b) memeriksa kelengkapan meta data riset pertanian di database; (c) mengecek dan meninjau konten file data penelitian pertanian dan mampu mengecek struktur data tabular di data penelitian pertanian.…”

The readiness to implement digital humanities data curation of four institutional repositories in Indonesia

“…Indonesia has a store of very rich humanities data that could benefit from further exploration (Wissik and Ďur co, 2015). One obstacle to such exploration is the lack of support for data curation activities, as can be seen from Yudhanto and Laksmi's (2021) examination of data curation activities at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and Kusumaningrum's et al (2019) study of five institutions. Research has shown that data curation is strongly influenced by organizational structure, infrastructure, work culture and strategic considerations, which need to be supported by good relations between curators, data owners, institutions, technology staff and leadership (Miller, 2017).…”
