This paper investigates researcher's data description practices:

https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.70003

The authors focus on paradata - information researchers generate during data creation, processing, and use. It has a different purpose and often does not fit the structure of standardized metadata.

Based on interviews with 33 researchers from archaeology, the authors identified five data description practices, their purpose, relation to executing research methods, temporal orientation and scope.

If you are interested in the concept of paradata, the authors recently published the book "Paradata - Documenting Data Creation, Curation and Use":

This paper presents results of a systematic review of studies on research data management services at academic libraries:

https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.70008

89 studies were included in the analysis.
Overall, the studies mention advisory services more frequently than technical services. Many studies mention changes in the library's role, policies and researchers' needs as motivation for implementing RDM services. Effectiveness is most frequently conceptualized as increased awareness and use of services.

Diese Woche Dienstag bieten wir wieder unsere offene Sprechstunde, die „Text+ Research Rendezvous“ an. Einfach vorbeischauen und Anliegen zu text- & sprachbezogenen Forschungsdaten oder rund um #NFDI direkt mit Mitarbeitenden aus Text+ besprechen: -> https://events.gwdg.de/category/208/. Wir freuen uns auf Sie und Euch! #digitalhumanities #consulting #Forschungsdaten #academia #researchdata #FAIR

Excellent interview by Katrin Schmermund with Anna Abalkina, published in Forschung&Lehre (Open Access, unfortunately only in German language) on Abalkina's research on paper mills. You can follow Abalkina on Bluesky, https://bsky.app/profile/abalkina.bsky.social.

The scale of academic misconduct is amazing, and to a certain degree it is now powered by AI. One almost unchallenged aspect of the problem is fake research data.

I was awarded a grant by @BerlinUAlliance - this grant will allow me to visit Stefanie Haustein, associate professor at the School of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa and co-director of the ScholCommLab.
During my stay, I will investigate metadata flows in the context of research data. In particular, I will examine the transfer of metadata from local to global contexts.
