  • Data quality: Curation services, Metadata, and Metrics
  • Defining the role of the library in research data management within an institution
  • FAIR vs. Friction
  • Intersection of Publishing and Data
  • Underserved Data Communities: Understanding Access & Preservation Bias
  • Research reproducibility – how data librarians are getting involved

We are delighted to announce our keynote speaker: Tom Schenk, the Chief Data Officer for the City of Chicago, will address the Summit attendees. More information will be forthcoming.

March 23 is our Workshop/Demo day<https://www.asist.org/rdap/program-2018/#workshops> with additional sessions led by data organizations and experts.

RDAP is also excited to partner with the Journal of eScience Librarianship<http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/> (JeSLIB) to publish the RDAP posters and presentations in this peer-reviewed, open access journal.
