Abstract RDS are usually cross-disciplinary, centralised services, which are increasingly provided at a university by the academic library and in collaboration with other RDM stakeholders, such as the Research Office. At research-intensive universities, research data is generated in a wide range of disciplines and sub-disciplines. This paper will discuss how providing discipline-specific RDM support is approached by such universities and academic libraries, and the advantages and disadvantages of these central and discipline-specific approaches. A descriptive case study on the author’s experiences of collaborating with a central RDS at the University of Cambridge, as a subject librarian embedded in an academic department, is a major component of this paper. The case study describes how centralised RDM services offered by the Office of Scholarly Communication (OSC) have been adapted to meet discipline-specific needs in the Department of Chemistry. It will introduce the department and the OSC, and describe the author’s role in delivering RDM training, as well as the Data Champions programme, and their membership of the RDM Project Group. It will describe the outcomes of this collaboration for the Department of Chemistry, and for the centralised service. Centralised and discipline-specific approaches to RDS provision have their own advantages and disadvantages. Supporting the discipline-specific RDM needs of researchers is proving particularly challenging for universities to address sustainably: it requires adequate financial resources and staff skilled (or re-skilled) in RDM. A mixed approach is the most desirable, cost-effective way of providing RDS, but this still has constraints.

传递中央RDM信息:剑桥大学中央与学科特定研究数据服务(RDS)的案例研究

摘要RDS通常是跨学科的,集中化的服务,由大学图书馆在大学中与其他RDM利益相关方(如研究办公室)合作,越来越多地提供RDS。在研究型大学中,研究数据是在广泛的学科和子学科中生成的。本文将讨论此类大学和学术图书馆如何利用提供特定学科的RDM支持,以及这些中央和特定学科方法的优缺点。本文主要内容是对作者与剑桥大学中央RDS协作的描述性案例研究,该学科是图书馆的学科馆员。该案例研究描述了如何修改学术交流办公室(OSC)提供的集中式RDM服务,以满足化学系特定学科的需求。它将介绍该部门和OSC,并描述作者在提供RDM培训,Data Champions计划及其在RDM项目组中的作用。它将描述化学部门和集中化服务的合作成果。集中和针对特定学科的RDS提供方法各有优缺点。事实证明,满足研究人员特定学科的RDM需求对于大学而言,要以可持续的方式应对挑战尤其艰巨:它需要足够的财政资源和RDM熟练(或再熟练)的员工。
