   )

*Synopsis:*
The more value that is placed on research data as a commodity to be shared,
sustained, and reused, the greater the need to assure the quality of those
data. Data repositories—whether domain-specific or generic across
domains—are essential gatekeepers of data sustainability. Data quality is a
consideration throughout the research process. To what extent should
responsibility for assuring data quality be the responsibility of the
investigators; of publishers, editors, and peer reviewers; of data
repositories; of data librarians or data scientists; or of later reusers of
those data? Considerations for data quality vary throughout the lifecycle
of data handling. These questions have neither simple nor generic answers.
In this Webinar, Prof Christine Borgman (UCLA), author of 'Big Data, Little
Data, No Data: Scholarship in the Networked World' (MIT Press, 2015), will
explore these issues of responsibility for data quality in conversation
with Dr Andrea Scharnhorst, head of the research and innovation group at
DANS, an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

With very best wishes.
Mustapha
