Zoom RecordingNotes DocResearchers know that if they want to publish their paper they need to get a DOI for the associated data and include a citation. However, many/most have not yet learned why picking the easiest place to store data (and acquire a DOI) may not be helpful to the larger research community - or even to themselves in the future. The 5-stars of data will hopefully start to fix this problem by defining the pros and cons for researchers to consider for achieving each star for their data.
Facets for discussion might influence definitions and ratings; domain specificity of metadata; a repository’s in-house domain expertise and user support; tooling; quality aspects (e.g, to determine fitness for purpose, limitations); metadata about methods, processing, instrumentation, or provenance; support for preservation of the workflows used in processing, etc.; and avoiding data misinterpretation.
Defined aspects of the data management (DM) life cycle that apply to data reuse can be used by those engaged in DM training, and provide a framework to organize their educational units. The benefits of improving data curation will enable more uses of the data by those within the represented domain as well as others.
Let's not talk about creating a FAIR dataset, let's talk about creating a better dataset - P Tarrant
Recommended Ways to Prepare: Review the draft 5-star data definitions - come with your reasons why each star level is or is not good enough for a researcher depositing data (both now and in the future)
