Reminder: Research Data Management Support From the NC State University Libraries

NC State University Libraries offers resources to support research data management and data sharing for NC State researchers. Please share the following with your colleagues.

Data & Code Repository: The Libraries’ institutional membership to the Dryad data repository enables any researcher associated with NC State University to deposit and publicly share datasets at no cost. Dryad integrates with Zenodo to support researchers who need to publicly share software and code to comply with publisher, funder, or other requirements. Learn more about other data repository options that we recommend.

Data Management Plans (DMPs): If you need help creating a data management or data sharing plan, we offer the DMPTool and our DMP Review service. For research projects that are already underway, our post-award checklist can help you implement DMPs to keep data safe and available for sharing and reuse.

  • NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMSP): A new NIH policy for data management and sharing will apply to all NIH proposals submitted on or after January 25, 2023.  The Libraries can consult on questions regarding these new requirements and review DMSP drafts through our DMP Review service.

Research Data Management advice: Our online guide has advice on all phases of the research data lifecycle including: developing data management plans (DMPs) for grant proposals; best practices for storage, organization, and preservation of data; and tips to optimize sharing and discovery of data. Learn more at: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/do/data-management

ORCID and Biosketch support: SciENcv is the NSF- and NIH-approved system for creating biosketches and will be required in January 2023. Our step-by-step guide covers everything researchers need to know, from creating their ORCID records/ID to using our local system (Citation Index) to managing their ORCID records, to logging into SciENcv.  ORCID is the only individual DPI (digital persistent identifier) that meets the recent OSTP guidance

Customized Support and Training: If you are interested in a one-on-one consultation or a group workshop, please let us know.  We’d be happy to customize a presentation or a hands-on workshop to meet your needs.
