Data Stories
Tensions around sharing scientific data have received international attention in recent years and the scientific community is actively working toward creating a healthier dialogue around data management and sharing. DataONE has collected a number of success stories and cautionary tales from researchers related to their experiences with managing and sharing scientific research data. Elicited through structured interviews and/or focus groups, these stories have been converted to a narrative format and some have accompanying videos.
The DataONE Data Stories were collected and prepared by Stacy Rebich Hespanha, Sarah Menz, and Jessica Bragg in compliance with UCSB Institutional Review Board guidelines as part of a DataONE Community Engagement and Education working group activity. Names and identities of story characters have been altered to ensure confidentiality. Data Story videos were created by Becky Beamer.
