Associate Professor Devan Ray Donaldson on Research Data Sharing and Evaluating a Data Repository

This short edition of Epistemicast revisits our archive to highlight parts of a previous interview with Associate Professor Devan Ray Donaldson around his 2022 paper on data sharing and research data management in the Journal Nature.

In particular, we thought it was well worth redrawing attention to the Rubric which Donaldson and his colleague Joshua Koepke developed to help research scientists in evaluating the increasingly bewildering choice of available data repositories.
