The PARSE.insight project is conducting a survey of researcher practices and views regarding data re-use and preservation.
... The European Alliance for Permanent Access aims to work together to preserve research data for future re-use. Science and research publishers actively support and partake in the Alliance through the participation of the International Association of Scientific Technical and Medical publishers. A number of Alliance partners have initiated a project, partly funded by the EU, entitled PARSE.insight which aims to gain insight into the requirements of researchers, data managers and funding agencies with regard to preserving research data.
PARSE.insight will help to shape the EU's preservation infrastructure, as part of the broader e-Research infrastructure, so that European citizens can continue to gain benefits from its digital resources, in all aspects of life.
In order to complete our picture of what the research community needs, we kindly request that you fill out this questionnaire, which may reach you via other members of the Alliance. It will take you about 20 minutes. The research community as a whole will benefit from your cooperation! ...
The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
