The economic significance of open research data is widely acknowledged, yet its quantification remains challenging. This paper presents an effective valuation instrument to help stakeholders understand and evaluate the economic benefits of open research data. By conducting a scoping review and prioritizing user engagement, this study introduces a…

Researchers in the education sciences, like those in other disciplines, are increasingly encountering requirements and incentives to make the data supporting empirical research available to others. However, the process of preparing and sharing research data can be daunting. The present article aims to support researchers who are beginning to think…

Effective research data management (RDM) is essential to modern scientific investigations. As the volume and complexity of research data increase, researchers, research institutions, and countries are pressured to improve data management practices to ensure transparency, reproducibility, sharing, and reuse of their findings. Researchers and…

With the 'data deluge' leading to an institutionalized research environment for data management, U.S. academic faculty have increasingly faced pressure to deposit research data into open online data repositories, which, in turn, is engendering a new set of practices to adapt formal mandates to local circumstances. When these practices involve…

In every school, dedicated teachers strive to support their students' unique learning journeys. Imagine a classroom where potential challenges are quickly identified and met with precise interventions. Imagine a school or school district where the many potential ways to solve problems can be quickly tested, and the best solutions rapidly scaled up…

Describing, preserving, and providing access to data is now the purview of many science librarians, although the emphasis has been on data in electronic format. Data in paper or analog format might be found in many places around our campuses. At the University of Minnesota we conducted a preliminary investigation of analog data through discussions…

This study aims to perform a descriptive analysis of the websites of public and foundation universities in Türkiye to reveal the current positioning context of their units in relation to artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems. The study was designed using a holistic multiple case study method, in which the dimensions specified in the…

Storing data and interpreting data are two very different endeavors; interpreting data is necessary for its transformation into actionable knowledge and new questions. On its own, data are not meaningful information. However, data visualization, like art making, offers another means to create order from chaos; it is an opportunity to identify…
