44.010 - Sharing Your Article-Related "Data" and Products at the Publishing Stage—A Workshop

Session Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop addresses the why, wherefores, and supports for sharing article-related data or products at the article publishing stage. The workshop is designed for education researchers across career stages. If you have an interest in data sharing, uncertainties about the intent or consequences of AERA or similar policies, confusions about how to maximize the impact of your work, or questions about available support through data repositories, this workshop is for you. Advanced graduate students and early career scholars seeking to transcend the impulse to privatize knowledge or are questioning whether data can be shared in safe and secure ways consonant with human subjects protection and informed consent, this OPEN ACCESS free workshop is for you. More experienced scholars who are less familiar with data sharing or how it contributes to the visibility of your own work are also strongly encouraged to attend.

This workshop is a "safe haven" opportunity to learn, to ask questions, and to deepen your own appreciation of the value of sharing your data and data analytic methods in terms of the sustained impact of your work. The workshop includes consideration of how to share data in different forms and formats, including making them available through publicly available data files or through restricted use access. Attention will also be paid to respectful use of data, data security and protection, and appropriate citation to others' data and work. Scholars from throughout the world with interests in data sharing are encouraged to attend.

This workshop includes the participation of leading AERA editors who will discuss data sharing at the article publishing stage and its relevance across the spectrum of forms of data (e.g., survey, interview, administrative, video, ethnographic, observational) or methods of research and analysis (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed for data-driven articles or meta-analytic or research syntheses for review articles). The leadership of major data repositories—Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), Center for Open Science (COS), Databrary, Qualitative Data Repository (QDR)--are a key component of this workshop. Federal science leaders from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development will also participate. This 3.5 hour workshop offers considerable opportunity for interaction about these issues throughout the session, including in breakout groups.

Note: Although this workshop is an open session with no registration requirements, attendees are urged to plan for participating for the entire span of the program, to be held on Sunday, April 7, at 9:45am-1:15pm (including breaks).
