Trends in Research Data Management and Academic Health Sciences Libraries

Julie Goldman et al. Med Ref Serv Q. 2023 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Spurred by the National Institute of Health mandating a data management and sharing plan as a requirement of grant funding, research data management has exploded in importance for librarians supporting researchers and research institutions. This editorial examines the role and direction of libraries in this process from several viewpoints. Key markers of success include collaboration, establishing new relationships, leveraging existing relationships, accessing multiple avenues of communication, and building niche expertise and cachè as a valued and trustworthy partner.

Keywords: Academic libraries; R1 institutions; RDM; Research data management; grant funding requirements; health sciences libraries; medical libraries; research libraries; role of libraries.
