Notes de l'éditeur
- As many of you will know, JISC is the Joint Systems Committee of the UK funding bodies for higher and further education. It has a number of sub-committees which help inform policy and also watch over programmes of funding and the operation of services, such as those provided by the two National Data Centres. It has also set up a company, JISC Collections as a legal body to broker licences.
- EDINA may be less familiar, at least to all of you. It is a national academic data centre, established in 1995 following the success of the University of Edinburgh putting forward its Data Library in an open competition to set up three datacentres capable of hosting and providing access to bibliographic datasets and numeric research data. The other two were BIDS, which subsequently moved into the private sector as Ingenta, and MIDAS, the data centre at the University of Manchester - its now renamed as Mimas. The mission of EDINA, which incidentally is the older poetic name for Edinburgh, is to enhance productivity of research, learning and teaching in the UK. It used to host a range of key A&T databaes like BIOSIS ~Previews, Compendex, Inspec, Art Abstracts etc, but now the services on journal …. As you can see, EDINA is a funded by JISC … <click>
- This illustrates that in the Sociology of Science how evidence from one decade is re-used in the next – especially since this relates to research awards made in 1984/5. See also the role played by ‘research papers’, even given an ISSN
- Digital is a medium, which along with telematics makes different things possible – but why conflate digital media with data? Digital surrogate of an analogue work may be regarded as ‘data’ but only to the extent to which the analogue work was previously thought of having evidential value.
- Type A: if its part of the published work then should we look to the preservation agencies, the national deposit libraries and CLOCKSS, LOCKSS and Portico, for access over the longer term? And do publishers see these as costly files to maintain in the short to medium term? Or do publishers want to hand the responsibility to subject and institutional data repositories? Type B: and with knowledge of UKDA, ADS but also the (growing but problematic ??) call for data to be held in institutional repositories, some recommendations on what is the 'right thing' to do, and how that can be done with ease - a Repository Junction task! For Type C, I intend to propose what editors should require by way of citation and URL link. I am on the hunt for such editorial practice.
- Focus here on ‘article-length’ work rather than longer working papers or book-length work,nor correspondence, annotation & criticism, nor text books.
