The Value of TDR Certification: A Survey of CoreTrustSeal Certified Repositories

Abstract:

What does Trustworthy Digital Repository (TDR) certification mean for digital repositories? What are the benefits and challenges of obtaining CoreTrustSeal (CTS) certification for digital repositories? Examining the complex world of TDR certification, Rebecca Frank will present the results of her recent and in-progress research into repository staff attitudes about CTS certification. She will discuss internal and external benefits for CTS-certified repositories and drawbacks to certification.

This session will be informative for digital repository professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the implications of TDR certification and/or recertification, as well as members of the CTS community who would like to know more about the ways that staff members of CTS-certified repositories value certification.

 Enhancing Data Sharing: Insights and Initiatives

Abstract:

Join us for an insightful webinar, hosted by World Data System, dedicated to the transformative power of data sharing in advancing research. This event will feature a discussion on the critical importance of data sharing, highlighting its role in fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and accelerating scientific discoveries. Guest speakers will be announced as planning continues.

One of our special guests, Yet2, a global open innovation consulting company, will present an in-depth landscape analysis on metrics related to data sharing practices, uncovering current trends, challenges, and opportunities. This analysis provides a look at how science has created an incentives metric for publications (h-index) and how innovators are exploring similar metrics to foster adoption of data sharing best practices.

The highlight of the webinar will be an exciting announcement from the National Institutes of Health. Serving as the lead for this project, representatives from the National Eye Institute (NEI) will unveil a groundbreaking new initiative designed to promote and facilitate data sharing among researchers. This initiative aims to set new standards and create a collaborative ecosystem that empowers researchers to share their data more readily, ensuring that valuable research insights are accessible to the wider scientific community.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the future of data sharing in research and how you can be part of this revolutionary movement.
