1. Connecting open data to published articles in the Carolina Digital Repository

Title Tesim:: Connecting open data to published articles in the Carolina Digital Repository
Creator:: Rudder, Julie, Rodriguez, Rolando, and Kati, Rebekah
Date of publication:: March 13, 2024
Abstract Tesim:: How easy is it to find the publications associated with locally deposited datasets? At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill we discovered it was not always easy. In this talk, we will discuss our efforts to improve these links and how we leverage our institution’s open access policy to ensure free access to publications linked to locally held data.

3. Conducting a Baseline Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Assessment of Institutional Repository Content

Title Tesim:: Conducting a Baseline Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Assessment of Institutional Repository Content
Creator:: Kati, Rebekah
Date of publication:: 2023
Abstract Tesim:: Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are central to repository and overall library work. Although DEI principles have been incorporated into many repository programs for digital collections, institutional repository initiatives have lagged. However, DEI principles can and should be applied to institutional repository collections to ensure equity and representation. The Carolina Digital Repository (CDR) is the institutional repository for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and aims to collect scholarly material that is representative of the research conducted at the university. In support of UNC-CH’s open access policy, the university’s libraries have launched three major content recruitment initiatives in the past four years: a large vendor-supplied open access article batch upload, ongoing CV review for faculty, and annual highly cited researchers batch uploads. After loading content from these projects, it was apparent that the initiatives identified articles concentrated in the sciences. UNC-CH has a strong humanities and social sciences focus, which it was feared would be obscured by the large import of science content. Additionally, it was suspected that the CDR might now reflect demographics that were not aligned with those of the university, and this would affect the CDR’s mission of scholarly representation. In 2021, the libraries conducted a baseline assessment of the CDR’s content projects to see if they aligned with the demographics of the university. The outcomes of the assessment will inform resource allocation for future projects that promote DEI principles. This assessment looked at subject area coverage, author gender, and author self-identified race in all three CDR content initiatives. Results were compared with official UNC-CH demographics to determine if articles loaded as part of the projects reflected the demographics of the university and thus are broadly representative of the university’s scholarly output. A white paper describing the findings in detail is available in the CDR. This chapter explores the process used to conduct the assessment and reflect on lessons learned. It also presents key takeaways for readers interested in conducting their own assessments.

4. Getting the Carolina Digital Repository Ready for Data

Title Tesim:: Getting the Carolina Digital Repository Ready for Data
Creator:: Kati, Rebekah
Date of publication:: October 24, 2023
Abstract Tesim:: In January 2023, the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Data Management and Sharing Policy, which promotes data sharing in open access repositories, went into effect. This policy has the potential to have great impacts on the repository ecosystem as depositors search for appropriate places to deposit their research data that meet the NIH’s guidelines. The NIH has provided a list of desirable characteristics for data repositories which it asks depositors to consider when selecting a repository. In this presentation, I will discuss the enhancements that we made to the Carolina Digital Repository (CDR), UNC-Chapel Hill’s Hyrax-based institutional repository, to prepare it for an anticipated influx of data. Additionally, I will show how the CDR now meets the NIH’s desired characteristics for repositories. I will also discuss documentation that I have created and outreach to other library departments to raise awareness of the Carolina Digital Repository’s data service offerings.

5. Content Liberation Update, August 2023

Title Tesim:: Content Liberation Update, August 2023
Creator:: Kati, Rebekah
Date of publication:: August 25, 2023
Abstract Tesim:: In 2018, the Open Access Implementation Team (the Team) conducted three Content Liberation pilot projects to ingest UNC-authored content into the Carolina Digital Repository (CDR). A summary of each project is available in Content Liberation Overview. This report summarizes our current progress on these projects and suggests recommendations for progress in the next academic year. A follow-up report will be available in August 2024.

8. Gender and Race in Carolina Digital Repository Content Methodology Review

Title Tesim:: Gender and Race in Carolina Digital Repository Content Methodology Review
Creator:: Kati, Rebekah
Date of publication:: August 23, 2022
Abstract Tesim:: In 2021, I conducted a review of subject area, gender and race representation in three Carolina Digital Repository (CDR) projects. The goal of the review was to determine if the content produced by the three projects were representative of the demographics of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). I used a publicly available, widely distributed list of faculty members who self-identified as Black, indigenous or a person of color and compared the list to CDR deposits. Also, I used a frequently cited API tool to determine author gender, based on recommendations from several bibliometrics studies. At the end of the review, I recommended further research and reflection on ways to identify gender and race of CDR authors in an accurate and ethical manner. This report represents the first step in that reflection, and it will be an ongoing and iterative process. For this assessment, I first looked at studies which estimated race and/or gender composition of their subjects. I then categorized the methodologies to determine the most used. In this follow-up review, I will report on the results of my investigation into alternate methods to identify gender and race of authors, provide an evaluation of the previous study based on my findings and provide a recommendation for future work.
