Data Management
The Wisconsin MRSEC’s Facilities and Data Management Group works to address the increasingly important integration of computational and data science methods with materials science research and education.
Efforts in Data Management include oversight of the Shared Computational Facilities and implementation of the Wisconsin MRSEC’s Data Management Plan. This includes coordinating the MRSEC Data Facility (for short-term storage and analysis of data from data-intense instruments) and a searchable MRSEC Publications page (for long-term access and cataloging of curated data underlying all publications).
The group also works to develop best practices for data management and collaborates across the MRSEC. This has included developing a guidelines document, hosting the “Wisconsin MRSEC Excellence in Open Science Prize,” and many presentations at events. Professional development opportunities provided include instruction and mentoring in data management best practices.
Data Facilities
The Data Facilities provide remote instrument access and data-analysis capabilities.
MINDS@UW
MINDS@UW is designed to gather, distribute, and preserve digital materials related to the University of Wisconsin’s research and instructional mission. Content may include research papers and reports, pre-prints and post-prints, datasets and other primary research materials, learning objects, theses, student projects, conference papers and presentations, and other born-digital or digitized research and instructional materials. It is not intended to support the public accessibility and preservation of official institutional or campus records that would not normally be published in the course of university business.
