【 摘 要 】

Comprehensive research data management is fundamental to ensuring reproducible, open scientific research. However, sufficient research data assistance is often not offered at universities, and when offered, typically only provides basic services that are viewed as optional. Integrating information specialists into research groups provides a potentially promising means of improving data management by providing personalized data management workflows. Workflows are comprehensive, executable guides that require planning, implementation, feedback, and adaptation. Comprehensive data management workflows should include a file organization scheme, the creation of data management roles for members, a data storage/sharing guide, and training and evaluation. Librarians, who regularly interact with faculty and students and are familiar with data management tools, are uniquely situated to assist with the creation and assessment of these workflows.
