Association of Research Libraries (ARL): Libraries and Librarians as Key Partners in Accelerating Public Access to Research Data; New Resource Published

“From an Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Post by Cynthia Hudson-Vitale:

The Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) have released their Guide to Accelerate Public Access to Research Data, the result of two years of work and national summits as part of the Accelerating Public Access to Research Data (APARD) program.

As a tool and framework for university administrators—specifically provosts, senior research officers, and IT leaders—the four-part guide is meant to “facilitate adoption of new institutional policies, procedures, and approaches that actively support and promote research data sharing, while at the same time ensuring rigor in the research process and the veracity of its intellectual outputs.” Included throughout the guide are recommendations, actions, and institutional examples and case studies for public access to research data.

AAU and APLU will host a series of webinars in May 2021 focused on components of the guide. More information and details about registration are available on the AAU website.
