    The ResearchDataQ Editorial Board (part of the ACRL Digital Scholarship Section) is seeking proposals for editorials that will be featured prominently on the ResearchDataQ website. We are seeking editorials that describe services, support, or related activities around research data at your institution. Topics could include:

    • Collaborative data management/services (computing infrastructure, storage, software/code, etc.)
    • Data ethics (privacy, ethical sharing, data ownership, data governance, data sovereignty, etc.)
    • Data literacy
    • Data policies
    • FAIR data in practice
    • Qualitative data management and analysis
    • Replication/reproducibility
    • Or anything else you want to share with the ResearchDataQ audience! 

    Proposals (up to 250 words) should clearly describe:

    1. The services, support, or related activities you intend to address;
    2. How you implemented this and/or what would be required to implement it elsewhere;
    3. How this relates to relevant existing recommendations, policies, or standards (if applicable).

    Please submit proposals here by July 31, 2022: https://goo.gl/forms/oxqIaoQ3tlGmfhil2. We expect to notify authors of accepted proposals in late August, and we will ask authors to expand accepted proposal topics into approximately 1000-1500 word editorials (ideally by mid-October with the possibility to extend if needed). The editorials will be featured on the ResearchDataQ website on a rolling basis beginning in early 2023.

     If you have any questions, please contact Clara Llebot Lorente (Chair) at clara.llebot@oregonstate.edu

    Sincerely,

    ResearchDataQ Editorial Board
