Designing Support Strategies For Enabling Cultural Change In Data Practices For The Physical Sciences

Support strategies, such as training and resource provision, are essential in the process of improving the uptake of practices aligned with research excellence. The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI), an initiative developed in response to a disciplinary need, has developed resources and infrastructure to promote a cultural shift towards implementing sustainable data practices. PSDI has sought input from key stakeholders and worked with different partners to identify community needs for in-person and self-paced training, guidance resources, webinars, and workshops that provide the opportunity for peer discussion and learning. PSDI continues to work with the data curation community to identify future directions for our resource development and community engagement.

Abstract

Support strategies, such as training and resource provision, are essential in the process of improving the uptake of practices aligned with research excellence. The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI), an initiative developed in response to a disciplinary need, has developed resources and infrastructure to promote a cultural shift towards implementing sustainable data practices. PSDI has sought input from key stakeholders and worked with different partners to identify community needs for in-person and self-paced training, guidance resources, webinars, and workshops that provide the opportunity for peer discussion and learning. PSDI continues to work with the data curation community to identify future directions for our resource development and community engagement.
