Science Cafe: Safeguarding Science: Expanding Access to Public Data
Publicly funded research data are vital for scientists of all kinds. Whether government research is on climate change, housing, or animal welfare, access to the data is crucial to free inquiry and can bear directly on public policy. Meet University of Michigan faculty and librarians participating in the national DataRefuge project, which looks to preserve, organize, and increase access to publicly funded research data. What are the issues in making data accessible for the long term? What can you do to help?
