    Equitable from the Beginning: Incorporating Critical Perspectives into Your Research Design
    (2021-06-03) Coalter, Jodi; Durden, David; Dunewood, Leigh
    A research data management (RDM) education diet is calorie-dense with technical and regulatory macronutrients, but often lacks essential micronutrients such as equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. As part of a broader effort to improve the data management diets of undergraduate Gemstone Honors research teams at the University of Maryland, College Park. The authors created a series of instructional modules on equitable data collection and research design practices. These modules enable researchers to assess the impact of their data across the research lifecycle, and widen their perspectives of data collection and analysis processes to consider implicit and transparent ethical, diversity, equity, and inclusion values at all stages of RDM.

    Uncovering Hidden Datasets in DRUM
    (2021-06-03) Durden, David; Buser, Allison
    DRUM has been available for UMD researchers to deposit research data since the mid-2000's but little mediation or curation has been performed on these materials to date. As the Libraries begin planning for a new collection within DRUM specifically for research data, the authors wondered how much research data had been deposited in DRUM as a supplemental file to an article, paper, or ETD rendering the data "hidden" from searches within DRUM. This poster presents two methodologies for querying records in DRUM, analyzing metadata to discover hidden datasets, and outlining the next steps for improving research data archiving and preservation in DRUM.
