Role of Libraries in managing micro-data
by Atanu Garai 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

Hi All, Our partner conducts a lot of surveys to measure water quality using ODK (an open source survey framework) and they would like to publish those datasets (survey data, questionnaire) in the Digital Library. Our initial reading of literature on this topic suggests that Libraries can play a key role in managing the microdata (or big data), especially in the academic and research contexts. I would be happy to get your inputs on the requirements, for example: 1. How do you want to bring the microdata in digital library platform from the survey app 2. How do you want to let the user discover microdata? Will it have the same search and filter interface that uses to discover documents? 3. How do you want to present such data to the user - table, data visualization? This will help team SocialWell to evolve a design framework that caters to a wider requirement. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell m: +91 97761.83915 a: Flat T-11/805, Tata Ariana, Mahalaxmi Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751029 IN w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> e: atanu(a)socialwell.net<mailto:atanu@socialwell.net> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

White House bans paywalls on taxpayer funded research

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/white-house-bans-paywalls-on-taxpayer-funde… The White House ruled this week that scientific research which is taxpayer-supported must be available to the American public at no cost—addressing the expensive paywalls that block online viewing of studies in many journals. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) delivered guidance for agencies to update their public access policies as soon as possible to make publications and research funded by taxpayers publicly accessible immediately upon publishing, without an embargo or cost. All agencies will fully implement updated policies, including ending the optional 12-month embargo. The current optional embargo allows scientific publishers to put taxpayer-funded research behind a subscription-based paywall – which may block access for innovators for whom the paywall is a barrier, even barring scientists and their academic institutions from access to their own research findings, unless they pay. POPULAR: Virginia Joins 20 Other States Banning Ticket Quotas For Traffic Cops <https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/virginia-joins-20-other-states-banning-tick…> The new rule also expands the definition of a “scholarly publication” to include “not only peer-reviewed articles but also book chapters and conference proceedings.” “When research is widely available to other researchers and the public, it can save lives,” said OSTP head <https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/08/25/ostp-issues-guidanc…> Dr. Alondra Nelson. “The American people fund tens of billions of dollars of cutting-edge research annually. There should be no delay or barrier between the American public and the returns on their investments in research.” When Joe Biden was Vice President in 2016, he told the American Association for Cancer Research that U.S taxpayers fund $5 billion a year in cancer research. “Right now, you work for years to come up with a significant breakthrough, and if you do, you get to publish a paper in one of the top journals. For anyone to get access to that publication, they have to pay hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars to subscribe to a single journal. And here’s the kicker — the journal owns the data for a year.” RELATED: U.S. House Passes Bill to Cap Insulin Cost at $35 Per Month <https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/house-passes-bill-cap-insulin-35-month/> Advocates, researchers, academic libraries, Congressional leaders, and others have long called for greater public access to federally funded research results—and now they will have it. In the short-term, agencies will work with the OSTP to update their public access and data sharing plans by mid-2023.
