Online survey responses data: Academic Library research support services in four countries: bibliometrics and research data managementDr Mary Anne KennanThis data set collected in 2012 consists of online questionnaire responses from a study investigating research support services in 140 academic libraries in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The focus was on bibliometric and research data support services current and planned, and investigated target audiences, service enablers and constraints, and staff training needs.

Author: Karin Smith Affiliation: Charles Sturt University Library

Charles Sturt University has created three open datasets on Research Data Australia. This has given us the capacity for publishing more data in the future. We can now promote the service to the University.

Promote your research – share the data The Research Data Australia (RDA) discovery service provides a platform to showcase your research by providing a description of the project, the researcher and where possible access to the data.

Post PhD researcher, Agriculture: “I shared my PhD data so that it could get a DOI and be cited.”

Mid-career researcher, Information Studies: “Sharing our survey results, data which present a snapshot in time, may provide data useful for others in analysing change over time”. “Let’s practice what we preach”

Early Career researcher, Psychology: “I shared my data to facilitate replication of the work – this is very important in my field. I included the stimuli, raw data, syntax and analysis and will provide it all on request”

• Datasets can get a DOI for potential citation• The access to the data can be mediated or open.• The data sets can be large or small.

• The library will work with researchers to create data descriptions• RDA shows number of views and number of downloads of datasets• RDA users include policy makers, educators and business people

Botanal and seedling recruitment data: Rehabilitation of perennial pastures PhD projectDr Roshan ThapaThe project (2005-2009) investigated a three-phase approach to managing recruitment designed to:• encourage seed set and delivery by desirable species;• prepare more suitable micro-sites for seedling recruitment; and• identify the better post-emergence tactics that aided seedling recruitment

in the short to medium-term.Data covers 5 experiments conducted at 3 field sites over the period 2006-2008.DOI : 10.4225/43/54eab173bd39a

Venom, speed, and caution: effects on performance in a visual search task dataDr Danielle SulikowskiThese data come from a study that investigated perceptual sensitivity to pictures of venomous creatures. It re-interpreted previous findings to resolve inconsistencies in the literature by replacing a theory of “differential disengagement of attention” (finding it difficult to look away from such images) with one of “differential caution” (taking longer to respond to the images to minimise the chance of making an error). The full study is described in the following publication: Sulikowski, D. (2012). Venom, speed, and caution: Effects on performance in a visual search task. Evolution and Human Behavior 33(4): pp. 365-377 (DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2011.11.007). The data archived include raw data, analysis syntax and all stimuli files to allow re-analysis and/or future replication.
