NISO Forum: Tracking it Back to the Source: Managing and Citing Research
Data


DATE: Denver, CO

LOCATION: September 24, 2012

ABOUT THE FORUM

As data creation increases exponentially across nearly all scholarly
disciplines, new roles and requirements are rising to meet the challenges in
organization, identification, description, publication, discovery, citation,
preservation, and curation to allow these materials to realize their
potential in support of data-driven, often interdisciplinary research.
NISO's Forum, Tracking it Back to the Source: Managing and Citing Research
Data, will focus on several new initiatives to improve community practice on
data citation and data discovery.
