LOVE YOUR DATA WEEK 2017
A 5-DAY INTERNATIONAL EVENT TO HELP RESEARCHERS ...
WHAT IS LOVE YOUR DATA WEEK?
Similar to Open Access Week, the purpose of the Love Your Data (LYD) campaign is to raise awareness and build a community to engage on topics related to research data management, sharing, preservation, reuse, and library-based research data services. We will share practical tips, resources, and stories to help researchers at any stage in their career use good data practices.
LYD week is a social media event coordinated by research data specialists, mostly working in academic and research libraries or data archives or centers. We believe research data are the foundation of the scholarly record and crucial for advancing our knowledge of the world around us. If you care about research data, please join us! This campaign is open to any institution – small, large, research intensive or not, so please feel free to share, adapt, and improve upon it. We encourage individuals, data librarians or otherwise, to participate in the campaign.
The theme for 2017 is emphasizing data quality for researchers at any stage in their career. Each day will have a message to drive the conversation and we will share resources, tips and tricks, stories (both success and horror!) and examples. All we ask in return is that you share your own experiences and results from the daily activities to keep the conversation lively.

WHAT's ALL THIS FUSS ABOUT RESEARCH DATA?
WHY MANAGE YOUR DATA?
Good research data management (RDM) will ensure that data produced or used during the University’s research activities is registered, stored, made accessible for use and reuse (if appropriate), managed over time and/or disposed of, according to legal, ethical, funder requirements and good practice.
This provides benefits for everyone involved, including academic staff and researchers, students, professional services staff, and external collaborators and partners.
For researchers, good data management:
- Enhances the visibility of your research data and increases the number of citations
- Provides opportunities for collaboration with other researchers within your discipline, or even with other disciplines
- Facilitates the sharing and reuse of research data for future research
- Reduces the risk of data loss by keeping your research data safe and secure
- Demonstrates research integrity and validation of research results
- Ensures compliance with both funders’ and institutional research data expectations and policies
For institutions, it:
- Showcases research data outputs to a global audience
- Attracts new collaborators and research partners
- Strengthens the research environment and infrastructure
- Ensures compliance with the research data expectations of funders and publishers
For society, it:
- Improves the impact of funded research through knowledge transfer and better communication of discoveries
- Improves visibility of research outputs from publicly funded research
- Enhances citizen science and public engagement activities
- Supports research integrity and validation of research results

Know your data quality
Data quality is the degree to which data meets the purposes and requirements of its use. Depending on the uses, good quality data may refer to complete, accurate, credible, consistent or “good enough” data.
Things to consider
What is data quality and how can we distinguish between good and bad data? How are the issues of data quality being addressed in various disciplines?
