The concepts and current developments of a research data infrastructure for [[Materials informatics|materials science]] are presented, extending and combining the features of an [[electronic laboratory notebook]] (ELN) and a repository. The objective of this infrastructure is to incorporate the possibility of structured data storage and data exchange with documented and reproducible [[data analysis]] and [[Data visualization|visualization]], which finally leads to the publication of the data. This way, researchers can be supported throughout the entire research process. The software is being developed as a web-based and desktop-based system, offering both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a programmatic interface. The focus of the development is on the integration of technologies and systems based on both established as well as new concepts. Due to the heterogeneous nature of materials science data, the current features are kept mostly generic, and the structuring of the data is largely left to the users. As a result, an extension of the research data infrastructure to other disciplines is possible in the future. The source code of the project is publicly available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. ('''[[Journal:Kadi4Mat: A research data infrastructure for materials science|Full article...]]''')<br />

"Towards a risk catalog for data management plans"

Although data management and its careful planning are not new topics, there is little published research on risk mitigation in data management plans (DMPs). We consider it a problem that DMPs do not include a structured approach for the identification or mitigation of risks, because it would instill confidence and trust in the data and its stewards, and foster the successful conduction of data-generating projects, which often are funded research projects. In this paper, we present a lightweight approach for identifying general risk in DMPs. We introduce an initial version of a generic risk catalog for funded research and similar projects. By analyzing a selection of 13 DMPs for projects from multiple disciplines published in the Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO) journal, we demonstrate that our approach is applicable to DMPs and transferable to multiple institutional constellations. As a result, the effort for integrating risk management in data management planning can be reduced. (Full article...)
