Research data have a lifecycle — and every stage matters.

🔄 Plan → Collect → Process → Analyze → Preserve → Share → Reuse

Generally one thinks first about the "Analyze" part. But how you plan, document, and store your data determines whether anyone (including future you) can ever use it again.

Why is reusing data often more complex than making it available? On 22 May, Christine Borgman (UCLA) and Paul Groth (Uva) will explore the social fabric of data sharing and reuse at Leiden University Library. Their talk builds on “From Data Creator to Data Reuser: Distance Matters” (Harvard Data Science Review) and reflects on the accompanying commentaries and response. Organised by DANS and CWTS.

From Data Creator to Data Reuser: Distance Matters

We are pleased to announce that Christine Borgman (University of California, Los Angeles) and Paul Groth (University of Amsterdam) will give a talk about their recent paper in the Harvard Data Science Review, titled

Leiden University

At the Earth, Space, and Environmental Global Data Resilience Convening, Maja Dolinar highlighted that resilient research ecosystems need trustworthy stewardship and governance grounded in public values.

The 3-2-1 backup rule for research data:

3️⃣ Keep 3 copies of your data
2️⃣ Store them on 2 different media types
1️⃣ Keep 1 copy off-site

Hard drives fail. Laptops get stolen. Cloud services go down. Your data is worth more than your equipment. Take care of it and spend some thoughts how to manage it.

Starting tomorrow I will focus more on research data management instead of research software engineering, so after more than 16 years it's time to say goodbye to @hadw_bw and hello to @kieluni #rdm #researchdata #new_job
Passionnants échanges durant le 6e séminaire @recherchedatagouv organisé à Grenoble entre lundi et demain mercredi. Ouverture à l'international, EOSC, souveraineté, FairByDesign, dashboard RDG, et 🍒: 5 créneau du seriousgame #DATALystE de l'ADLD lyonnais 🤩

For my English-speaking friends:
The preprint of my article here covers the founding history and backgrounds of the #DataRescue collective @SafeguardingResearch and its #OpenSource platform #SciOp + includes an IT librarians take on this project: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19218030

This is #Fediverse history not to be forgotten, that's why it is also uploaded to SciOp itself, so feel free to seed: https://sciop.net/datasets/safeguarding-research-and-culture-sciop-article-2026-german-preprint
Thanks to @jonny for helping me out on this one :))

This paper is submitted to be published with the special issue "Out of Order: Queer, Critical and Inclusive Perspectives on Order and Disruption" of the German library journal "Bibliothek Forschung und Praxis" later this year. CfP by @fuzzyleapfrog et al. is still open until mid June if you want to contribute as well: https://doi.org/10.1515/bfp-2025-0060

If any German-speaking person has the time to translate my article, go for it, it's under CC-BY-SA-NC.

Happy #WorldBackupDay everyone :)

Safeguarding Research & Culture und SciOp: Datenrettung in Zeiten digitaler Bücherverbrennungen

Anfang 2025 sah sich die Scientific Community in den USA einer bisher in diesem Umfang nie dagewesenen politisch motivierten Datensäuberung durch die dort neu gewählte Regierung ausgesetzt. In einem Teil des alternativen sozialen Netzwerks Fediverse organisierte sich zu dieser Zeit eine Gruppe engagierter Freiwilliger, um letztendlich ein Guerillakollektiv zur Datenrettung zu bilden, das heute unter den Namen Safeguarding Research & Culture (SRC) bekannt ist. Aus dem SRC-Kollektiv heraus entstand wenig später auch die Open-Source-Software und Plattform SciOp. Diese ermöglicht mittels einer Integration von Datenkatalog und BitTorrent-Tracker eine dezentral verteilte und koordinierte Datenhaltung, an der jede Person mit der Bereitstellung von eigenem Speicherplatz und Bandbreite teilnehmen kann, um eine bessere Verfügbarkeit und zensurresistente Bereitstellung der geretteten Daten zu gewährleisten. Dieser Beitrag zeichnet die Entstehungsgeschichte des Projekts nach und stellt dessen Besonderheiten im Vergleich zu konventionellen Ansätzen und Softwarelösungen im Bibliotheksbereich heraus. Es kann aufgezeigt werden, dass im begrenzten Umfang bekannte bibliothekarische Praktiken adaptiert wurden. Im Gegensatz zu traditionellen Bibliotheken bestehen jedoch neben dem besonderen technologischen Fundament des Projekts auch deutliche Unterschiede hinsichtlich dem Sammelschwerpunkt, der Organisationspraxis und den Partizipationsmöglichkeiten.

Can your analysis be reproduced by someone else? By you, in six months?

Reproducibility isn't just about publishing code — it's about documenting your environment, your data, and every decision along the way.

Small steps: use virtual environments, pin your dependencies, write a README.
