Investigators at the Department of Applied Linguistics at Purdue University and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign will address the question “which researchers are willing to share data, when, with whom, and under what conditions?” The team will produce case studies of researcher data/metadata workflow, curation profiles describing policies for archiving and making available research data, a matrix to compare parameters across disciplines, system requirements for managing data in a repository, and recommendations for implementing results under diverse systems. The project will describe the roles of librarians and identify the skill sets they need to facilitate scholarly communication and data sharing.
