“…Scholars can use the web to disseminate electronic resources, including software, datasets, internal reports, and digitised art and cultural artefacts (Schubert et al, 2013;Schopfel et al, 2014). In genetics and environmental science, for example, datasets are significant research outputs and are often shared (Anagnostou et al, 2013).…”

Mike Thelwall, Kayvan Kousha, University of Wolverhampton. Purpose A number of subject-orientated and general websites have emerged to host academic resources. It is important to evaluate the uptake of such services in order to decide which depositing strategies are effective and should be encouraged. Design/methodology/approach This article evaluates the views and shares of resources in the generic repository Figshare by subject category and resource type. Findings Figshare use and common resource types vary substantially by subject category but resources can be highly viewed even in subjects with few members. Subject areas with more resources deposited do not tend to have higher viewing or sharing statistics. Practical implications Limited uptake of Figshare within a subject area should not be a barrier to its use. Several highly successful innovative uses for Figshare show that it can reach beyond a purely academic audience. Originality/value This is the first analysis of the uptake and use of a generic academic resource sharing repository.

“…With the global increase in research data output and the progressive move of funding agencies and scholarly journals towards requiring data management plans and open sharing of data, there is no question that interest in research data management is increasing (Perrier et al, 2017). There is an ever growing amount of information about the role of academic libraries in research data management (Chiware & Mathe, 2015;Lage, Losoff, & Maness, 2011;Newton, Miller, & Bracke, 2010;Yu, 2017) and the curation of research data and the data lifecycle in general (Gonzalez & Peres-Neto, 2015;Poole, 2016;Schubert, Shorish, Frankel, & Giles, 2013;Yu, Deuble, & Morgan, 2017).…”

This case study describes the several challenges faced by Library personnel at the University of Montana as they iteratively made an historical dataset available in the institutional repository in a way that attempted to optimize its discoverability, accessibility, searchability, and usability to current and future researchers. The authors will examine the development of this multi-media dataset collection in order to discuss the specific challenges and opportunities around: describing and making available an historical dataset, repository structures, metadata specifications, and accessibility requirements.

“…Academic libraries and librarians have been identified as curatorial liaisons on campus in the data curation movement due to their long‐standing history, credentials and commitments (Fox, ; Heidorn, ; Lyon, ; Schubert, Shorish, Frankel, & Giles, ). As a result, several metadata standards for data management and curation have been developed to manage massive large‐scale data sets (Ogier, Hall, Bailey, & Stovall, ; Weber, Palmer, & Chao, ).…”

Data management and curation is a new challenge with the emerging trend of data-dependent scholarly research. Due to the lack of common standards and best practices, current data management and curation practices have been varied. This poster presents a project that examines the common practices of data management and curation that helps understand the scope of and factors behind such variations. The sample of this study consists of 171 unique data repositories created by 164 institutions from 95 countries worldwide. The preliminary results indicate that data management and curation is a global issue. Currently, academic institutions and government agencies are the leading force in contributing and sharing data. Data repositories are used for various purposes with international repository and learning resources being the most common use cases. Additionally, system functions used to manage data repositories vary to a great extent with statistics and OAI harvesting being the most common ones.
