    Clinical Data Management: Strategies for unregulated data
    (2013-04-04) Coates, Heather L.
    Unlike data curation, clinical data management (CDM) is a recognized area of expertise and a defined career path. The highly regulated clinical trials environment has produced effective and efficient practices that can be generalized to other areas of research. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international standard developed by the International Conference on Harmonisation that specifies how clinical trials should be conducted and defines the roles and responsibilities of various sponsors, investigators, and monitors. These practices address many of the issues at the core of data curation and sharing. Much academic research is not rigidly structured in the manner of clinical trials. Relevant practices within CDM and GCP must be reinterpreted for non-clinical research so that they can inform general data management, sharing, and preservation practice. This lightning talk will highlight effective strategies from CDM and GCP that promote data integrity, facilitate data preservation and sharing, and facilitate reproducibility of results.

    Data Services: Making it Happen
    (s4.goeshow.com/acrl/national/2013/profile.cfm?profile_name=download&handout_key=4C22E652-FFAD-40D8-91DB-846AA18F5702&xtemplate=1, 2013-04-12) Coates, Heather L.; Konkiel, Stacy; Witt, Michael
    The explosion of digital research data has created exciting opportunities for librarians to engage with faculty, staff, and students in their research processes. Advances in computing, sensor technologies, and communications are challenging researchers’ abilities to find, manage, utilize, visualize, and store data. Three librarians from public Universities will describe practical approaches for developing new services, collaborations, and content to meet these needs. Real-world examples and relevant issues will be posed for group discussion.

    Practical data management: Enabling graduate students and staff to function as ethical actors
    (2013-04-12) Coates, Heather L.
    Graduate students and staff are the unrecognized daily stewards for much of the research data collected on academic campuses. Often, they are performing these vital tasks without understanding their role as part of the research life cycle and scholarly communication process. Providing data management training is vital to ensuring the integrity of valuable research data. This poster will describe a series of instructional tools designed to provide a skills base for responsible data management.
