Disambiguating Dash and Merritt
What’s Dash? What’s Merritt? What’s the difference? After numerous questions about where things should go and what the differences are between our UC3 services, we got the hint that we are not communicating clearly. Clearing things up A group of us sat down and talked through different use cases and what wording we were using … … Continue reading →
Talking About Data: Lessons from Science Communication
As a person who worked for years in psychology and neuroscience laboratories before coming to work in academic libraries, I have particularly strong feelings about ambiguous definitions. One of my favorite anecdotes about my first year of graduate school involves watching two researchers argue about the definition of “attention” for several hours, multiple times a … … Continue reading →
Make Data Count: Building a System to Support Recognition of Data as a First Class Research Output
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has made a 2-year, $747K award to the California Digital Library, DataCite and DataONE to support collection of usage and citation metrics for data objects. Building on pilot work, this award will result in the launch of a new service that will collate and expose data level metrics. The impact […]
Describing the Research Process
We at UC3 are constantly developing new tools and resources to help researchers manage their data. However, while working on projects like our RDM guide for researchers, we’ve noticed that researchers, librarians, and people working in the broader digital curation space often talk about the research process in very different ways. To help bridge this […]

Dispatches from PIDapalooza
Last month, California Digital Library, ORCID, Crossref, and Datacite brought together the brightest minds in scholarly infrastructure to do the impossible: make a conference on persistent identifiers fun! Usually discussions about persistent identifiers (PIDs) and networked research are dry and hard to get through or we find ourselves discussing the basics and never getting to […]
There’s a new Dash!
