The NNLM National Center for Data Services is launching an upcoming webinar series on data sharing. The series “Topics on Data Sharing” provides attendees with current information on data sharing requirements and best practices as it relates to biomedical research. Participants will be able to stay current on recent trends and resources through the various webinars. Each session is 1-hour long and is eligible for MLA and DSS CE credits.

• Uncovering the costs of academic data sharing: From real data to tips for future planning with ARL and DCN
  July 31: 11:00 – 12pm PT / 12:00 – 1:00pm MT / 1p – 2:00pm CT / 2:00 – 3:00pm ET
  

Join the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Data Curation Network (DCN) for a discussion on how the Realities of Academic Data Sharing (RADS) Data Management and Sharing Activities can help researchers identify expenses often overlooked or considered part of “normal” scientific practice. Speakers will share insights into actual data management and sharing costs reported by NIH researchers, and describe how DCN data curators use the data management and sharing activities and expense information to guide researchers.

• Understanding Data Discovery and Sharing Infrastructure and Leveraging It for Your Benefit
  August 6: 11:00 – 12pm PT / 12:00 – 1:00pm MT / 1p – 2:00pm CT / 2:00 – 3:00pm ET

This webinar will focus on the data discovery and sharing infrastructure available for librarians and researchers. Demonstrating how technologies like repositories, data catalogs, and standards work together, this webinar will provide needed background on that infrastructure while also discussing how this infrastructure can be leveraged to increase the discoverability of your and your researcher’s data.

• The NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI): Supporting Data Sharing in Generalist Repositories
  August 7: 11:00 – 12pm PT / 12:00 – 1:00pm MT / 1p – 2:00pm CT / 2:00 – 3:00pm ET
  

Generalist repositories are a flexible, trusted resource for sharing research data for which there is no appropriate discipline specific repository as well as many other research outputs valuable for reproducibility and open science. This webinar is presented by participants of the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) (Dataverse, Dryad, Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, Vivli, and Zenodo), an NIH program supporting the enhancement of generalist repository functionality to better support NIH data sharing use cases. The GREI repositories will share generalist repository use cases and best practices for sharing and finding data and describe how generalist repositories fit into the wider data repository landscape and how they can be part of meeting the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy requirements. It will present both the key common features of the GREI generalist repositories that meet the NIH desirable repository characteristics as well as the unique features of these repositories that make them suited to specific types of data.
