Regional and Global Biogeochemical Dynamics Data (RGD) SANParks Data Repository SEAD Virtual Archive Taiwan Forestry Research Institute Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) University of Kansas - Biodiversity Institute USA National Phenology Network USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC) Investigator Tool Kit The Tool Kit provides tools for researchers to access DataONE. These are both general purpose and discipline-specific tools, and developers adapt existing tools where possible. The tool kit includes Java and Python libraries, an R programming language plug-in for analysis, extensions for Excel, the VisTrails scientific workflow, and the Kepler scientific workflow system. Data management DataONE provides a place for scientists to store data and its associated metadata. The metadata makes this data searchable and accessible to other scientists. Data management practices include Data management planning Data acquisition (techniques, protocols, methods) Data protection (backing up) Data entry and manipulation (naming files, organization) Matlab, R Quality control on data Data analysis Workflow tools (VisTrails, Kepler scientific workflow system) Data documentation (metadata) Data sharing, citation, and discovery Data preservation and curation Some of the additional data management planning resources include: a primer for best practices, a database for best practices in data management, educational modules and tutorials, webinars, and an investigator toolkit. These have been used or adapted for use under Creative Commons license by organizations and institutions that seek to educate other communities about data and research management. Understanding different audiences of users led to the development of possible user personas as models for users such as early-career researchers, science data librarians, citizen scientists or K-12 educators. Collaborations DataONE collaborates with other institutions to bring together tools that help with data management practices. One of those tools, developed in collaboration with other organizations and hosted by the University of California Digital Curation Center, is the DMPTool for data management planning. The DMP Tool is used by and referenced by many research data management plans and institutions in the US and around the world. Another recent collaboration in this area is the shared construction of a Data Management Training Clearinghouse for Earth sciences, in partnership with USGS and the Community for Data Integration (CDI). Community The DataONE community includes research networks, professional societies, libraries, academic institutions, data centers, data repositories, environmental observatory networks, educators, scientists, policy makers, administrators, citizen scientists, international organizations, NGOs, ecosystem managers, students, private companies and the public. DataONE has a users group that meets yearly to provide feedback.
