  • The Archival Advantage: Integrating Archival Expertise into Management of Born-digital Library Materials, Jackie Dooley, OCLC Research, 2015.

    "This essay argues for involving archivists in the management of born-digital library materials (i.e., created and managed in digital form)....This essay also focuses on ten areas of archival expertise and their relevance to the digital context.These include confirming ownership, appraising the significance of content, documenting the context of creation, negotiating with collection donors and nurturing these relationships over time, recognizing and navigating legal issues, ensuring authenticity of files, and using practical approaches to creating metadata for large collections. Each of these is equally relevant for digital and analog (physical) materials. Archivists' in-depth knowledge of each area helps to ensure that the right questions are addressed."

  • Sharing Research Data and Intellectual Property Law: A Primer, by Michael W. Carroll, PLoS Biology, Volume 13 Number 8: e1002235. doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1002235, published August 27, 2015.

    Abstract: "Sharing research data by depositing it in connection with a published article or otherwise making data publicly available sometimes raises intellectual property questions in the minds of depositing researchers, their employers, their funders, and other researchers who seek to reuse research data. In this context or in the drafting of data management plans, common questions are (1) what are the legal rights in data; (2) who has these rights; and (3) how does one with these rights use them to share data in a way that permits or encourages productive downstream uses? Leaving to the side privacy and national security laws that regulate sharing certain types of data, this Perspective explains how to work through the general intellectual property and contractual issues for all research data."
