“…Scientific data allow us to solve problems in ecology and climate, health, national security or nanotechnology [39], which confirms it to be a defining intellectual asset that can be not only peer-reviewed, but also subject to quality assessment and reuse [26]. Despite the fact that scientists argue that published data belongs to the scientific community, a large number of publishers claim their rights on those data, disallowing their reuse without their permission [37].…”

The production of large volumes of scientific information, considering its cost, requires approaches that ensure its maintenance, reuse and recovery. These concerns prompted the emergence of digital curation. We intend to discuss the relevant thinking concerning the costs of digital curation. This means addressing the definition of the concept and the issue of costs, based on the studies related to cost models. A literature review was conducted using B-On and RCAAP as research sources, exploring the perceptions of the authors regarding the digital curation and its costs. The views expressed were organized around a scheme based on the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) lifecycle and the reference model Open Archival Information System (OAIS). It is proposed a systematization of digital curation issues bridging the DCC life cycle view of the digital object curation to the OAIS reference model approach, using a cross view seized by cost models and plan/data management policies.

“…A 2002 study (Russom, 2006) calculated that over $600 billion per year was spent on "data quality problems" (Eckerson, 2002) in industry. Similarly in academia, data quality issues have received growing attention by academic libraries (ARL, 2006;Heidorn, 2011;Joint Information Systems Committee [JISC], 2004;Ogburn, 2010), as scientific practices evolve to exploit robust campus cyberinfrastructure and as funding agencies, such as the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, increasingly require data management plans to protect and amplify the impact of their investments.…”

“…Curation involves ways of organizing, displaying, and repurposing preserved data. (p. 12) Digital preservation and digital curation practices are addressed widely in the literature (ARL, 2006;Curry, Freitas, & O'Riain, 2010;Goble, Stevens, Hull, Wolstencroft, & Lopez, 2008;Heidorn, 2011;JISC, 2004;Ogburn, 2010;Williams, John, & Rowland, 2009). Digital curation aims to make selected data accessible, usable, and useful throughout its lifecycle.…”

Academic Libraries as Data Quality Hubs

Academic libraries have a critical role to play as data quality hubs on campus. There is an increased need to ensure data quality within ‘e-science’. Given academic libraries’ curation and preservation expertise, libraries are well suited to support the data quality process. Data quality measurements are discussed, including the fundamental elements of trust, authenticity, understandability, usability and integrity, and are applied to the Digital Curation Lifecycle model to demonstrate how these measures can be used to understand and evaluate data quality within the curatorial process. Opportunities for improvement and challenges are identified as areas that are fruitful for future research and exploration

“…Some recent articles assert the need to educate and train library staff if libraries are to succeed in the areas of digital curation and data management (e.g., Ogburn, 2010;Heidorn, 2011). The NSB report, as well as earlier NSF reports, has highlighted workforce development needs in the context of the current and future challenges presented by all the data issues.…”

With the increasingly important role librarians play in the fast-paced and data-intensive digital curation environment, there is a need to identify the qualifications and responsibilities expected by employers. An investigation of 110 recent job advertisements was conducted to identify competencies required of individuals working in the digital curation field. The job ads analysis serves as an important indicator of the emerging requirements for a qualified workforce in the field of digital curation in the academic library job market.
