    RADAR - A repository for long tail data
    (2015) Kraft, Angelina; Neumann, Janna
    The way knowledge is shared is experiencing a paradigm shift: Digital networks allow new degrees of openness for research and its resources, accompanied by a huge potential for scientists, inventors, industry and the general public. Accessible data will allow all groups to participate in innovation and value creation regardless of their geographical location or individual background. However, for researchers who are evaluated by their academic performance and scientific excellence, there is a fine balance between benefits and concerns regarding the openness of resources such as knowledge and data. With the Research Data Repository (RADAR) project we provide solutions to maintain this balance: In RADAR, an interdisciplinary infrastructure for the preservation, publication, creditability and traceability of research data from the fields of the 'long tail of science' is developed. Here we present the first RADAR prototype: A robust, generic end-point data repository which enables clients to preserve research results up to 15 years and assign well-graded access rights, or to publish and preserve data with a DOI assignment for an unlimited period of time. Potential clients include libraries, research institutions, publishers and open platforms which require an adaptable digital infrastructure to archive and publish data according to their institutional needs and workflows. In a nutshell, RADAR can help clients to handle following issues: - Secure storage of research data. - Preservation of information after a project is completed, a grant ends or employees leave. - Traceable and citable data publication across communities via a discipline-agnostic metadata scheme. - Ensuring that data are ‘stable’ after publication e.g. to allow accurate comparisons later. - Provision of data management services for their customers up front while using RADAR as a back-end system.

    Do researchers need to care about PID systems?
    (Zenodo, 2018) Kraft, Angelina; Dreyer, Britta
    A survey across 1400 scientists in the natural sciences and engineering across Germany conducted in 2016 revealed that although more than 70 % of the researchers are using DOIs for journal publications, less than 10% use DOIs for research data. To the question of why they are not using DOIs more than half (56%) answered that they don’t know about the option to use DOIs for other publications (datasets, conference papers etc.) Therefore it is not surprising that the majority (57 %) stated that they had no need for DOI counselling services. 40% of the questioned researchers need more information and almost 30% cannot see a benefit. Publishers have been using PID systems for articles for years, and the DOI registration and citation are a natural part of the standard publication workflow. With the new digital age, the possibilities to publishing digital research objects beyond articles are bigger than ever – but the respective infrastructure providers are still struggling to provide integrated PID services. Infrastructure providers need to learn from publishers and offer integrated PID services, complementing existing workflows, using researcher’s vocabulary to support usability and promotion. Sell the benefit and enable researchers to focus on what they are best at: Do research (and not worry about the rest)!
