I share below a call, on behalf of our colleagues at ARL, to express interest in participating in research focused on assessing the institutional costs of public access to research data. This work is based on research done during the first phase of the Realities of Academic Data Sharing (RADS) Initiative, reported on at CNI’s recent spring membership meeting (video is forthcoming).
For questions, please contact Shawna Taylor (staylor@arl.org), project manager for open science, Association of Research Libraries.
