***Apologies for cross-posting*** Digital Curation Centre (DCC) press release: 23 January 2012
The DCC are delighted to announce the publication of 'Managing Research Data' edited by Graham Pryor, DCC Associate Director. Data management is an active process by which digital resources remain discoverable, accessible and intelligible over the longer term, a process that invests data and datasets with the potential to accrue value as assets enjoying far wider use than their creators may have anticipated. In the world of research, such a value-adding process is a significant contributor to the much desired achievement of impact. Published by Facet, Managing Research Data aims to introduce the broader research community to such core issues of data management as the terms of compliance with funder expectations, the context and recommended approaches to individual and institutional data management planning, the roles and responsibilities of key players in the research data lifecycle, as well as detailed reports of initiatives, strategies and organizations being deployed nationally and on a global scale. With an international authorship including experts from the UK's Digital Curation Centre, Managing Research Data is published by Facet Publishing, ISBN 978-1-85604-756-2, price £49.95 (£39.96 to CILIP members).
