Find example code below for an extension of the ExecuteAndWaitInterceptor.
The goal of this code is to allow a background process to execute while having access to the same open Hibernate session object.
The SessionFactory dependency is injected into the OpenSessionExecuteAndWaitInterceptor by Spring. You may use other methods of dependency injection if you are more comfortable with them. By overriding the getNewBackgroundProcess() method, this interceptor uses our custom OpenSessionBackgroundProcess instead of the WebWork default.
Overriding the beforeInvocation() and afterInvocation() methods in the OpenSessionBackgroundProcess ensure that the session will stay open throughout the life of the background process, and any Spring transaction management will also be used.
As this code is heavily dependent on Spring and Hibernate, you shouldn't expect to see it packaged with a WebWork distribution. It does, however, serve as a useful example of extending the Execute and Wait Interceptor

25 ways to build a stronger Internet in Canada
May 28, 2015
As a digital nation, Canada has a lot to be proud of. From the inception of the public Internet, our nation has been among the world's leaders in both usage and the development of new online technologies. Perhaps it's because of our geography, or maybe it's the weather (who hasn't binged entire seasons of House of Cards on a cold January weekend?), but we have taken to the Internet in ways many of our global counterparts haven't.

Samsung talks smack about "slavish adoration" to Apple in court
In its patent case against Apple, Samsung had recently asked that some of Apple's experts be dismissed from testifying, and now they're asking that one more be banned.
Apple's damages expert, Terry L. Musika, writes in his report that 'Apple has built a considerable and at times a cult-like following to all things Apple.' That cult-like following apparently includes several experts who are appearing on Apple's behalf in this case, and may explain why they have cast aside established scientific methods and governing legal principles in favor of slavish adoration of their client and platitudes about its alleged magical and revolutionary products, issues that are of no relevance to the claims and defenses at issue.
Zing. It might be hard to argue that Henry Urbach, another target of Samsung's, be barred since he has no marketing or product design experience beyond his fawning essay on Apple retail stores called Gardens of Earthly Delights, but Apple had similar complaints about eight of Samsung's experts too. Of course, through all of this, both sides are trying to have patent complaints from their competitor tossed out, even after both Apple and Samsung had dropped many at the judge's request to keep the case within a manageable scope.
It's fun to see Samsung get so catty about Apple culture, in any case. While I'm hesitant to apply the iSheep stereotype to all iPhone, iPad, and Mac users, it's clear that at least some of Apple's witnesses are lacking credibility due to their brand loyalty, and really don't belong on the stand. Generally speaking, how many iPhone, iPad, and Mac fans do you think have their judgement clouded by their predisposition towards Apple? How often are you willing to acknowledge that the competition is doing something right? Do any of your friends bust your chops for being an Apple fanboy?

Samsung talks smack about "slavish adoration" to Apple in court
What are they using, out of curiosity?
I used to be a complete and utter Apple whore when iPhone was the only game in town, but things have changed. In part Apple's to blame for that, as they intentionally destroyed my iPhone 3G with bloatware (iOS 4) and expected me to cough up extra money for a new device.
But part of it was really due to Microsoft, of all places. When I actually went to go replace my 3G with a 4, I had time to play with the WP7 demo in store and decided to give it a shot. I ended up liking it--the OS is absurdly fast and the user experience is second to none. I've had way fewer problems since I got the Windows Phone than I ever did with iPhone, especially after the nightmare of iOS 4.
What's sad is that it wasn't an isolated event. Apple's begun doing the same thing with iPad 1. Ever since iOS 5, my device has slowed down substantially and apps crash much more frequently. A friend who's been an Apple fanatic since the first Mac, a 28 year Graphics Designer, told me recently, "That's what Apple has always done. It's why my current Mac is my last." He's currently testing Windows 8 and calls it the most brilliant UI innovation he's ever seen (and mind you, he designs UI's for a living), and I'm inclined to agree, given how superb the experience of the same UI is on the phone.
Sad to say, Apple lost me as a customer because they made it clear: they don't respect their customers, or the property they buy.
This is pretty interesting. I've recently converted to Mac because of my frustration with windows and recently switched to ios due to my frustration with android fragmentation.
I've noticed how crappily my gf's iPhone 3G has performed since even the iOS 4 update, the same with her iPad and iOS 5.
I'm no apple fanboy, I just wanted something that would work without issue for more than 2 years. I fear I may have fallen prey to clever marketing...
Samsung is being incredibly juvenile. Sorry Sammy, gaining a loyal following isn't as simple as copying a company that already has one. Seriously, "S-Voice"? Could they be any more blatant about it? Apple wasn't the first company to integrate voice recognition software into a product, but S-Voice is far too similar to Apple's implementation to be taken seriously.
I really hope HTC can one day regain the position of top Android manufacturer. The One series is deserving of far more praise than the Galaxy S III.
Nor should it be. I'm not trying to imply that Samsung is legally wrong, I just think that S-Voice is tacky. They could have turned the tables on Apple if S-Voice was introduced with the Galaxy SII- just imagine how poorly the iPhone 4S keynote would have been received in that case. But the post-Siri timing of S-Voice's introduction combined with Samsung's history of being just a little too inspired by Apple raises some questions.
It's hard to keep saying you stole the cherry idea on the top of the cake when you stole the whole cake.
What if the judge owns an iPad? Will they ask for him to be removed also?
After submitting my fedbcaek, I received the message, "Thank for dogfooding the new Blogger iPhone App." There should be a "you" after "Thank". But also, why use such an unused phrase such as "dogfooding"? Your average person is not going to know what that means.Things that I would like in new versions:- Preview post as it will look when published (either in Editor or in Safari Mobile)- Hyperlink feature (we shouldn't have to add in any HTML code)- Filter down posts so we can only look at Drafts for instance- Sort posts so we can look at the most recent modified posts on the first page listing- View blog's Stats- Moderate Comments
Fanboy is such a hypocritical thing... At the very extreme I'm sure some deserve the title, but at the same time its the Fandoids and the Microsoft "incapable of change" fanatics that are the quickest to trot this out. Do they even know how dumb they sound when they forget IE isn't the only browser out there in one sentence, then call me a Fanboy because I treasure my iPhone or iPad?
I think its jealousy that generates this term more than anything. Samsung wishes it could have its fanboy base... but there seems to be a lack of copy-cat fans out there. I don't remember the last time I saw a Microsoft supporter worry about losing their Windows 7 based tablet.
I say let the ignorant be ignorant... they are easy to disregard and ignore. See how long anyone but their fellow idiots take them seriously.
i honestly believe that iOS is the best UI for ME. my iphone is very fast and my imac is fantastic compared to my old PC. i dont own an ipad because i dont have a use for it. the only problems that i have had with my iphone was the FB and twitter app, and thats not even apples fault. my imac had been flawless. im def not a fan boy because i think that windows has a very nice UI but iOS is much simpler and its just as fast in my opinion. i dont see why it has to be about whats better rather than whats more appealing to you. for those of you who were complaining about iOS 4 hear this, i had a old windows phone and they stoped updating it so mine was slow and and very unproductive. we cant expect to force new software in old hardware and expect it to work. if you want new stuff then sometimes you have to upgrade. sorry we dont have siri on a 3g and that we cant put facetime on a 3g. how about you stop being cheap and buy a new phone if you like what the new ones have rather than complaining. if i have a jeep that has leaf spring suspension im not gonna cry to Mopar because they make independent rear suspension and then give it to me for free. IMO android will never get it right because they thing that selling a million phones thats divided up into 100 diffferent models will hwlp their sales beat apple. I also remember rene putting out a chart awhile back that had how often apple, micosoft and android updated their phones and how effective it was... apple was the leader. so in conclusion to this rediculous essay that i just wrote, buy the product that suits you the best not what the newest celebrity own.
Im always getting busted at work for having an iPhone. I used to be all about android and convinced just about everyone I work with to get an android phone. I gave up on android and moved to iPhone 4s. Since then, I am now considered an iPhone fanboy lol! Even though I stay on top of all mobile devices and still help and advise others with android. Yet, they're the ones that pledge allegiance to android. It's all good though. But it does become rather childish.
Some of my coworkers, except the die hard android fans, want to move to iPhone when the new one comes out.
I do believe all of us will be dead of old age, and I really mean old, and this litigation will still be going on. There is good arguments on both sides, but it has now gotten to the point of being just silly. Set down, talk, and settle. Face to face. Just the two CEO's, and no one else.

Indigo Reactive Glaze Mugs, Set of 2 4 4
Love them! Out of the many mugs I have, these are my favorites. I ordered 6 and am going to order 6 more. I love the folk artsy look and they are a nice size. December 6, 2014
Love them! I bought these cups last year. I love the rustic look and the feel of the cup in my hand. I get so many compliments on them. These cups are the ones I reach for every morning. November 30, 2014
Great look! I love the way this mug looks. It's a great mug. The only negative is the handle. A little too small when the coffee is HOT. It's awkward to hold it just by the handle so you do have to put a finger on the actual mug to keep it steady and if your liquid is very hot, the outside of the mug gets a little hot and that is a little uncomfortable. February 10, 2014
Handle burns hand Handle is poorly designed: allows hand to touch hot mug. To use the handle with a finger through it, your hand must be against the mug's body. This is opposite of the purpose of cups having handles - to protect the hand from touching a hot surface. Otherwise, the mug is good looking and fairly well made. Doesn't chip easily. Our family has had several of these for a year but I'm throwing them out after we've burnt our hands several times. November 15, 2014

Apple announces the iPhone 5
A 4" screen is a pretty good size, though. I have a Galaxy Nexus, and while I like it a lot, the screen is a little too big for easy one-handed use, and I have pretty big hands. I always thought that in terms of size, the original Moto Atrix was the most comfortable phone I ever used (including iPhones), and that was a 4" screen.
What I like most is the Facebook contact integration we have all been waiting for. However, this does not change the fact that ta small screen means harder to manage and edit contacts (a small nuisance for some and huge for others like my husband who is legally blind).
I have been managing his iphone contacts directly from our desktop computer using this:
However, a slightly bigger iPhone screen would not help immensely, you know.
That's a weak excuse - not everyone has the same hand size. It's personal preference and fit really. I'm not a big fan of the new 4" iPhone screen (looks a tad bit awkward to me) and neither am I fan of the Note (5.2"? was it?) but I can definitely see why some people would want a bigger screen.
The white one is ugly, but that slate metal on the Black one... Pretty nice looking.
It might just be the gdgt photos, but what is that "light" to the right of the home button??
it's only a cell phone.
What's is so innovative about putting out a phone every 2 weeks with wack ass apps and crappy keyboards? If you think that anything that Samsung or HTC makes has a better screen,you're just blind or a hater. I dont care what the specs say, those screens look like shit is comparison to iPhone 4s.
Last I checked, this was ACTUALLY the "thinnest smartphone in the world."
I wonder what sort of dock options there will be for the iPhone 5? I hated Apple's iPhone 4 dock, and I'm not a fan of their all-purpose iPhone dock. I own a Kidigi dock designed for an iPhone 4 with bumper, and it's awesome. I'm really looking forward to getting an iPhone 5, but I'll miss having a nice angled dock to rest my iPhone in on my desk.
I have to agree with others who have expressed disappointment in today's announcements. I'm still using my VZW iPhone 4, and I'm not feeling at all excited about upgrading to the iPhone 5. Very underwhelming. I hope all of this hits Apple in the sales numbers, both soon and hard. Maybe they will finally get the message.
I'm due for a full upgrade until April 2013, and that means I may as well wait a few more months to see what the next iPhone will be. If it is another underwhelming piece, I'll probably jump to another platform. At this point I'll speak with my wallet by keeping my iPhone 4 a while longer. :-(
Problem is I think that people expected too much. This is normal stuff for Apple, they stick with a core design for at least 2-3 generations (iPods and the iPhone/iPhone 3G/3GS are testament to that fact) so it isn't really all that unexpected. Problem is that back then, these designs were revolutionary and the competition was far behind - that has changed drastically now, the competition has more than just caught up and they are pushing hard by innovating and adding more features. I really think Apple dropped the ball on this one, they could have launched a completely new device and that would have cemented their position for another 2 generations. Instead, they chose their wise old strategy and decided to opt for short term gains (as you'll see when they release the pre-order numbers).
It is, absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to preorder, and then get my hands on it on September 21st. Problem is, our Apple Store is in a mall, so where is the line going to start? Lol. Great job iMore team on all these predictions. This device really is amazing, and coming from an iPhone 4 it's going to be a huge difference. I'm so excited to see how quick the LTE works, and play Order and Chaos on that 4 inch retina display with the power of the A6 chipset. Awesome product Apple, you've done it again.
I'm not sure why everyone is so disappointed. What did you expect? This was one of the worst kept secrets in Apple's history so we knew what was coming. Iterative updates are kind of what the industry is doing now. We've gotten to the point where the devices in our pockets are so powerful every additional feature is nice but not revolutionary and our battery tech isn't keeping up either.
NEED THIS! I see a lot of hate comments on other sites from non-iphone users. The main thing is usability. I see no need for a 5 inch screen on a phone. Get a tablet if thats what you want. I also think its unrealistic for people to want a completely redesigned phone as well. The OS changes are great but I like the look of the 4/S and 5. Yes the iPhone was behind on a few things, but they are built to last and nearly everyone in my city has one so that has to mean something.
I think a lot of people are disappointed because they have silly expectations. If the screen were to get larger than this, it would make the device bigger. I love the small size of the iPhone and think Apple really nailed it with the iPhone 5 screen size. The 16x9 ratio rocks for video. And the tallness of 16.9 rocks for stuff like web and texting since it adds more vertical content. I don't know what kind of design people were hoping for. The iPhone is basically just a screen with a camera and ear-speaker above, and a home button below.
Exactly! I think they did great with this one. People forget sometimes lol Cant wait to pre-order. Just need to check with AT&T
The asinine amount of leaks destroyed this product launch for me... and for many others, I bet. It's not that this isn't a great device in its own right, it's just that we've basically seen it and all of its "new" features since this Spring.
Apple needs to get a better grip on these production-line security issues... it's hurting their product launches. Relatively, of course - this will sell in huge numbers. Wonderful engineering and the polish of iOS aside, the non-revolutionary design, underwhelming new features, and 6-month old leaks of all of the above will have many people looking at other devices... perhaps for the first time in 5-6 years. Especially in the States. We'll see how this does worldwide. The iPhone 4 and earlier segment aline will probably put these numbers in the high tens of millions by Christmas.
I won't bet against Apple or their design/engineering/marketing teams, but... meh.
In 5-6 years, the S8-S9 still won't be as good as the phone Apple's presented today..
trolololol oh so thats why the Slll is the only phone to ever overtake the iphone in sales in america?? because its not as good.
Any ideas what time it will be on sale on Friday? I did the pre-sale for the 4 and I want to say that I woke up around 6am eastern to get it... I don't remember though; it seems like it was so long ago *sigh*
I know people are disappointed about the lack of surprise element from the iPhone release. But you can't expect Apple to continue to suppress all the information about the iPhone when they are planning to rollout the phone worldwide on the same date. Unless Apple create all parts for the devices in their own factories, it is going to be very hard to suppress leaks for them from now on, with such a large following and so many people making money from leaking information about their technologies.
I am pretty excited for the iPhone 5, I think it is one of those devices that is going to feel amazing in hand. No matter how much I read and the number of images I look at, it will be an amazing experience to play with the device and see what it can really do. Not to mention how much this device will integrate with the rest of my techno-system.
What a joke. It still amazes me people are so excited about 4 inches. "It still works with one hand" wooooow. It is so revolutionary. Not. In a few years it will get bumped up to 4.3 or so and people will say the same exact thing. It's funny, it really doesn't matter what Apple does people will love it no matter what.
The best part about this is that it is called the iPhone 5 (NOT iPhone 6). Where are all the dumbasses who were constantly driveling about how "it's technically the 6th version so it absolutely must be called the iPhone 6" blah blah blah. Since you all obviously cared so much about something as trivial as a name, as someone in the majority that doesn't give 2 shits I just want to officially point out that you all were WRONG and now look incredibly stupid for incessantly arguing about it in the comments of numerous posts over the past months.
Rene deserves to write an entire post dedicated to one huge I TOLD YOU SO.

Apple's iPhone Market Share Still Growing, iPhone 3GS #2 US Best-Seller
PreCentral.net points us to comScore's latest stats showing Apple's iPhone market share is still on the way up, going from 24.1% to 25.3%, a 1.2% increase.
Google's Android, with its Droid on Verizon splash jumped 2.7% (to reach 5.2). Everyone else was in the negative, with RIM down 1% (though still huge at 41.6%), Microsoft down 1% (to 18%), and Palm down 2.2% (to 2.7%).
It's also important for TiPb to once again point out that Apple's high margins means that market share likely translates into a higher profit share than most as well. That means, for example, when we see CrackBerry.com boasting about being #1 Q4 IDC results for best selling smartphones, the iPhone 3GS coming in at #2 and the iPhone 3G coming in at #4 (with the Droid at #3 and the Pearl rounding things out at #5), Apple's bankers are likely much happier, and their R&D department working on iPhone gen 4 and gen 5, much better funded.

Apple's iPhone Market Share Still Growing, iPhone 3GS #2 US Best-Seller
What's amazing is that it's with three years in the mobile smartphone business. It's gonna continue to grow.
The news here is Apple and Google are eating everyone else's lunch.
Google is growing twice as fast as Apple, (easy to do when you start from zero), and apple growth slowing (which is expected).
I would think that if the next iPhone made you toast and eggs for breakfast it will still not grow much beyond its current rate. This is especially so if there is no form factor change. The 3GS has not sold anywhere near what was expected, and another phone that is not readily visually distinguishable will garner quite a few yawns. There are at least 50% of the Apple market who buy the iphone for the Bling factor.
I want a different looking iPhone too but the numbers for the iPhone are absolutely not disappointing.. Last Q projected was 10m, they hit what was it, 9.6?? That's still impressive as hell and better than ever before.
Google is really making a mark with it's Android software... I guess it's because there are so many phones jumping on the Android bandwagon! Apple's still doing well considering they only offer the iPhone.
I really don't understand why all Blackberry users haven't switched to the iPhone. I used to use Blackberry's (and have tried the more recent ones), but nothing even compares to the iPhone. All of my friends and colleagues who experience my iPhone are wowed by it, and I have influenced a number to switch (And I haven't earned a penny from Apple). I've found that the number one thing that keeps my friends clinging to their Blackberry's is the BBM (Blackberry Messenger)... where I do see their point. If Apple would develop a similar type of messaging service or be able to provide interaction with BBM (which I'm sure RIM would NEVER allow), they would rapidly gain even more control of the market. Yes, yes, I agree... I'm not sure what the infatuation is with BBM when there is text messaging which allows you to communicate with everyone with a cell phone. Still, with BBM, the group chat feature and the ability to communicate from almost anywhere in the world without extra charges does have a certain allure.
Counting down the days to 4G.
There is an application called What'sapp that allows iPhone and bb subscribers to communicate wih one another with out wasting text messages... Look it up, I haven't dled it cuz I have few bb friends, or maybe I do and don't care to speak to them on their inferior devices... Oh and there is pmessenger which is an iPhone version of bbm, problem is that it's hard to have run in the bkground. Ao it's not as efficient...
The current Dec 09 USA market share stats in that table do not add up to 100%. I checked the original article as well. There is about 3.5% unaccounted for.
Is Symbian OS considered a smart phone for the purpose of determining market share in the U.S.? Symbian is the dominant smartphone OS in Europe.
Google is getting on so many devices it's really helping them to grow. That's great because all it does is breed competition. Weird thing is Apple really stays in their lane and continues to work within their product cycles. I think most other companies would jump into a battle by putting out as much work as possible. I kind of like that about Apple. It's the thing that makes you mad because most of us are really tired of the lack of subtle touches need in the iPhone OS. But this time around i really think we are gonna be great when 3.2 and/or 4.0 OS comes out. They are extra secretive about what's dropping in this OS. It is for a good reason. So many phones are coming out right now and they are really trying to load them up with everything but the kitchen sink. What most people don't realize is that iPhone is really beasting these other platforms. I have been using it since the 3G and there isn't many new features on it that I haven't seen or used before. With that being said I'm still quite happy with my device(3GS). They have tried to call it everything except what they should: the device that just works. Period. I'm not pulling it out to show it I'm a grown man. I do exactly what I need to do and put it away. Does it have flaws? Yes but so does every other phone. I'm confident that they are working on those flaws. Even to the point of spawning a device that is gonna wreck havoc(iPad) come spring time. The funny thing is that I won't nescessarily have to buy another device. But I will because I know that each one is getting better and better.
Apple just keep growing and growing it is amazing. Not sure they will be able to bring out the advances in products on such a regular basis.

Palm Beach Atlantic University senior Kristina Webb received the 2010 President's Award during the 10th annual Baptist Press Collegiate Journalism Conference held Oct. 7-9 in Nashville, Tenn.
|Fox News Radio reporter Todd Starnes (center) poses with PBA students (from left) Kristina Webb, Chris Hernandez, Jacki Stuckert and Anna Zetterberg during the 10th annual Baptist Press Collegiate Journalism Conference held recently in Nashville.
The award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship, is presented to a college student based on his or her leadership in a school's journalism program, scholarship across all studies, portfolio of work and a free-form essay about career aspirations and how faith figures in future journalistic plans.
Webb, who is majoring in print journalism, is a writer for the University's student newspaper, The Beacon. She also won first place in the Color News Photo category for a photograph she shot for the newspaper that accompanied a story she wrote in January about Missionary Flights International. The organization, based in Fort Pierce, was among the first to provide disaster relief to Haiti after the Jan. 12 earthquake.
In addition, Webb and two other PBA student journalists, Anna Zetterberg and Samone Davis, won second place in the In Depth/Series category for a news feature they wrote for The Beacon about "Women at War."

I'm not sure if I made this clear, so I will now. Although I admittedly would love to live in a country without guns, I do not think that is practical for the US, probably ever. I am not afraid of guns, per se. I don't think they are evil. I just know that if they weren't all over the place, we would all be safer (statistically speaking). HOWEVER. If someone gave me a remote control with a big red button on it, and that button was labeled "Repeal 2nd Amendment," I would not push it.
Why? After all, I've admitted freely that I would love for all guns to go bye-bye. Well, yes, I would ... but philosophically, I think that is going too far, probably. But primarily, it's because I'm a practical person, and to repeal the Second Amendment while so many in the country own guns, legally and illegally, would be a disaster. An actual real disaster, not a "canceling Saturday mail" disaster. Because after you did that, you'd have three types of people: one, the already-criminal, who own guns in ridiculous numbers; two, people who were law-abiding citizens, but now have been automatically classified as criminals; and three, the ones who either turn in their guns or never had them in the first place. And then we really would have a situation where only the criminals had guns, and everyone else is sitting ducks. Any possible repeal of the Second Amendment, if it ever were repealed (and I doubt that it would be and question whether it should be), should ONLY ever come after society has changed to such a point that we really don't use all that many guns anyway.
I can see the clear difference between what I really want (no guns) and what is reasonable and practical (reasonable gun control). It's a concession. Try it! It doesn't hurt, I promise.

Open Access @ Grinnell College
Digital technologies can expand access to learning and scholarship in ways not possible with a paper-based publishing system, for the benefit of learners across the world and the scholarly authors as well.
In April 2013, the Grinnell College Faculty voted to give Grinnell College permission to disseminate worldwide, through the Digital Grinnell repository, their scholarly articles published in peer-reviewed journals after April 15. Faculty agreed to amend their publishing contract -- if necessary -- to permit this deposit. Waivers to this agreement are granted by the Dean's Office upon request (use the form below).
The resolution also encourages faculty and staff to make their curricular material and other scholarly publications freely available through Digital Grinnell. The full text of the resolution is available here.
- Submit your work to Digital Grinnell
- Request a waiver
- Check your journal's publishing policy. It may already permit deposit in a local repository
- Amend your publishing contract to retain the right to deposit, using this form.

NIH Public Access Policy
NIH Public Access Policy
The NIH Public Access Policy requires that an electronic copy of the final, peer-reviewed version of all articles accepted for publication that arise from funding--either in part or in whole--supplied by the National Institutes of Health be submitted to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central database be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication.
To comply with the Policy:
Many journals will submit your article for you: see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm for a list. If your article is being published in a journal not on that list:
- Inform the journal that the final, peer-reviewed version of your paper is subject to the NIH Public Access Policy when you submit your manuscript for review.
- Review your copyright transfer or publication agreement to retain the right to deposit the final version of your paper in PubMed Central.
- Submit the final, peer-reviewed version when it is accepted for publication. The paper can be submitted online at http://www.nihms.nih.gov/. More information about the submission process can be found at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process.htm.

Data Management Services
Why Do I Need a Data Management Plan?
Increasingly, the answer to this question is, "Because the agency that funds my research requires one." Several grant-making agencies, including the National Science Foundation, now require that researchers have a plan for preserving data generated in the course of their research and sharing that data with other scholars. Some journals also require that the data used in published articles be made available to others who want to try to replicate or extend the results. However, even if you are not required to have a data management plan or to preserve and share your research data, we hope that you will consider doing so.
"Data sharing strengthens our collective capacity to meet scientific standards of openness by providing opportunities for further analysis, replication, verification and refinement of research findings…. In addition, the greater availability of research data will contribute to improved training for graduate and undergraduate students, and make possible significant economies of scale through the secondary analysis of extant data. Finally, researchers have a special obligation to scientific openness and accountability when the research is publicly funded." - Data Archiving Policy, National Science Foundation Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic and Sciences
Data Management Services Offered by the Libraries
If you are writing a grant that requires a data management plan, we encourage you to consult with a librarian early in the process. We can help you:
- Select appropriate file formats so that your data files will still be readable in the future.
- Select appropriate metadata schemas and describe your data so that other researchers will be able to find it.
- Document your data so that other researchers will be able to interpret it.
- Find repositories to preserve and disseminate your data, and submit your data to those repositories. Repository options include:
- Digital Grinnell, the College's primary repository for scholarly, creative, and curricular materials created by faculty, students, and staff. Data deposited in Digital Grinnell will be searchable via Google, Google Scholar, and WorldCat.
- The Grinnell College Libraries Dataverse, a College data repository that is part of a globally searchable data network. Dataverse is most appropriate for numeric data.
- A repository specific to your discipline.
