In anticipation of the then forthcoming Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy, a consortium of professionals from Canadian university libraries surveyed researchers on their research data management (RDM) practices, attitudes, and interest in data management services. Data collected from three surveys targeting researchers in science and engineering, humanities and social sciences, and health sciences and medicine were compiled to create a national dataset. The present study is the first large-scale survey investigating researcher RDM practices in Canada, and one of the few recent multi-institutional and multidisciplinary surveys on this topic. This article presents the results of the survey to assess researcher readiness to meet RDM policy requirements, namely the preparation of data management plans (DMPs) and data deposit in a digital repository. The survey results also highlight common trends across the country while revealing differences in practices and attitudes between...

The data-flow diagram template is a way of representing a flow of data through your DH methodologies, it gathers information about the material and immaterial outputs and inputs of each entity and the process itself. Specific operations based on the data can be represented by a flowchart. This template was used as part of the "Making research data public: workshopping data curation for digital humanities projects workshop".

This workshop covered all areas of data management including IP permissions and informed consent, data collection, metadata standards, file sharing, preservation (data deposit), and data sharing through the open data spectrum of access. Participants worked on their own data curation challenges in break-out sessions and with reference to case study examples presented by a panel of DH scholars and digital asset management specialists. The workshop draws significantly upon cases and RDM processes developed and in continued development, across the SpokenWeb research network.

Executive Summary Background In June 2016, the Tri-Council Agencies released a statement regarding Digital Data Management for grant applications . In preparation to support researchers facing new requirements, UBC librarians on both the Vancouver and Okanagan campuses initially surveyed faculty in the Sciences in Fall 2015, to determine both the actual practices of Research Data Management (RDM) employed by these researchers, and areas where the researchers would like help. Acknowledging disciplinary differences, a second survey was administered to all faculty and graduate students in Humanities and Social Sciences in October 2016. The results of these surveys will assist the University in making evidence-based decisions about what expertise will be needed to support and assist faculty in improving their data management practises to meet new requirements from funding bodies. Findings Researchers are collecting and working with a wide variety of data ranging from numerical and text ...
