The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), California Digital Library (CDL), Association of American Universities (AAU), and Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) have released a communication toolkit for facilitating institutional communication and discussions around the broad adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) and machine-readable data management plans (maDMPs).
The communication toolkit draws upon the outcomes of a 2019 conference, ‘Implementing Effective Data Practices: A Conference on Collaborative Research Support,’ convened by ARL, CDL, AAU, and APLU and sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF). The overall goal of the conference was to explore the ways that scholarly communications stakeholders can assist in implementing a more connected ecosystem for research data outputs. A set of recommendations to support the broad adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) and machine-actionable data management plans (DMPs) was summarised in the final report.
The toolkit includes effective data practices conference at a Glance, presentation slides, discussion questions, reading list, and implementing effective data practices report.
