4 - Designing library-based research data management services from bottom-up

Abstract

Research data management (RDM) services in a research institution require the broad collaboration of multiple administration and service entities, including research office, IT office, and library. Cross-unit RDM support coordinated at the institutional level (top-down) is a common model in many pioneering universities, especially those in Europe and the United Kingdom. For institutions in which such top-down RDM initiatives are not yet present, libraries can play a pivotal role in bringing changes from bottom-up.
