A new report from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) for the Physical Science Data Infrastructure (PSDI) is now available:

Enabling Best Practices in Research Data Curation in Physical Sciences: Recommendations on the Role for PSDI
👉 https://zenodo.org/records/20119004

We examine current approaches to research data curation, describe the diverse roles involved across the research data lifecycle and the relevant conceptual frameworks, and provide a set of recommendations to PSDI on how to most effectively enable and advance best practices across the Physical Sciences in the UK.

Case studies are a key part of this work. We include several of them in the report, but we are looking for more.

If you have a case study demonstrating the implementation of best practices or the emerging challenges & opportunities in data curation in the Physical Sciences, please get in touch: [email protected]
