August Research Integrity Working Group Meeting
2022-08-25 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | online
TEXAS DIGITAL LIBRARY RESEARCH INTEGRITY WORKING GROUP
Thursday, August 25, 2022
2-3pm Central
Join us on Zoom

Play the Dilemma Game: Professionalism and Integrity in Research, created by a team at Eramus University (Rotterdam) to explore difficult choices frequently encountered by faculty and student researchers – and by those who support them.
In breakout groups, you’ll first imagine yourself as researcher confronting a dilemma. Then you’ll consider how you can use game scenarios as instructional tools. Although the game is available as an app, we’re using the off-line version so an Internet connection and a headset are the only technology you need to participate.
Come to share your own ideas and experience! Come to discover new techniques for teaching research integrity. Come to have fun!
Facilitated by Melody Herr, PhD, Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Arkansas.

Join TDL’s Research Integrity Working Group by subscribing to our listserv tdl-research-integrity@utlists.utexas.edu and signing up for our newsletters. You can also contact TDL at info@tdl.org with any questions or suggestions.

We hope to see you there!

TDL’s Research Integrity Working Group welcomes Heather Coates, Digital Scholarship & Data Management Librarian and University Data Steward for Research Data at Indiana University, as a guest speaker:

What does open access have to do with research integrity? Join the TDL Research Integrity Working Group for a conversation with Heather Coates, Digital Scholarship & Data Management Librarian at the IUPUI University, on 27 October 2022 at 2 PM Central. There is no charge to attend – and you don’t even have to register.
Open Access Is Necessary But Not Sufficient To Ensure Research Integrity
This interactive session will explore the central role of open access to publications, data, instruments, protocols, code and/or scripts in fostering a culture of research integrity and public trust in research. Through discussion of contemporary investigations into misconduct, we will consider the interconnectedness of good data practices and open access with principles of research integrity. In particular, we will discuss concrete practices related to project management, data management, and training that enable validation, foster a culture of research integrity, and support greater openness in the conduct of research and dissemination of research outputs.
Heather Coates is the Digital Scholarship and Data Management Librarian at the Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) University Library Center for Digital Scholarship. As an open research advocate, she cares deeply about the integrity, accessibility, and sustainability of the scholarly record as a public good. She is dedicated to promoting more equitable research evaluation practices in higher education. You can find her scholarship in ORCID: 0000-0003-4290-6997 and Google Scholar.

Metadata Support Gathering
2022-11-02 11:00 - 12:00
View slides | video
TDL wants to help you improve your metadata and make your collections more discoverable. Metadata is at the core of so many of the benefits that libraries and archives provide, but working with metadata can sometimes feel challenging and isolating. This webinar will be a chance for our community to ask metadata questions, share tips, and get support from other metadata-minded folks.
TDL’s DPLA Aggregation coordinator, Elliot Williams, will offer advice for creating metadata that can be shared across systems, including with the Digital Public Library of America, and tips for assessing metadata quality. Plus there will be lots of time for discussion, commiseration, and advice-sharing.
Registration is required. Click here to register.
This webinar will be recorded. Attendees will have the option to ask questions and share comments anonymously, if desired.

What is PechaKucha: PechaKucha events traditionally include presentations of 20 images, with 20 seconds commentary each. In other words…presentations are meant to be LIGHTNING FAST and not very in-depth. Think “talk less, show more.” See some examples here:
