With the increased focus on research reproducibility and transparency, new policies, practices, and principles have been established for research data management. As this area has and continues to rapidly change, we have also seen the development of research data management services to support researchers in adopting or adapting practices to meet these new expectations. But what form have these service models taken and what works and what doesn’t?

Many RDM support service models initiated in Libraries, but have discovered that to fully support researchers a multi-stakeholder service model is necessary because research practice and researchers’ questions require expertise across research data management, IT, research computing, and security. And while many examples of these multi-stakeholder service models exist, there are still gaps as well as potential to improve on existing models.

In this episode, we will be reviewing an article published in the Journal of eScience Librarianship on February 15th as part of the 2022 Research Data Alliance and Preservation (RDAP) Summit special issue. The article is titled “There’s no “I” in Research Data Management: Reshaping RDM Services Toward a Collaborative Multi-Stakeholder Model” and was authored by Alisa B. Rod, Biru Zhou, and Marc-Etienne Rousseau.
