MANTRA Research Data Management Training
Research Data MANTRA
MANTRA is a free, non-assessed course with guidelines to help you understand and reflect on how to manage the data you collect throughout your research. The course is particularly appropriate for those who work with digital data.
Through a series of interactive online units you will learn about terminology, key concepts, and best practice in data management.

The Mental Health of young people in Ireland : Report
PERL Homepage - Royal College Surgeons in Ireland
A report of the Psychiatric Epidemology Research across the Lifespan (PERL) Group was lauched today titled "The Mental Health of young people in Ireland". This report summarises findings on the rates of mental ill-health among Irish youth from their Adolescent Brain Development Study and their Challenging Times Two Study.

Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics
SAO/NASA ADS: ADS Home Page
Operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS (Astrophysics Data System) maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 10.4 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through highly customizable query forms, and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed or searched via a full-text search interface. Integrated in its databases, the ADS provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs and archives. They currently have links to over 10.1 million records maintained by their collaborators. Access to full text will depend ofcourse on what your Library has subscriptions to.

Tracking Citations and Altmetrics for Research Data: Challenges and Opportunities
Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) Bulletin August/September 2013 by Stacy Konkiel . Click for the full article.
The recently announced San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment [1], which calls for the abandonment of the journal impact factor as a means to determine the quality of research, highlights how important and contested the measurement of scholarly impact has become. Measuring impact for research data is also complicated. Data citation itself is not yet a standard practice [2, 3], and there is no authoritative agreement on how and when data should be cited [4]. Altmetrics, which track scholarship’s usage on the social and scholarly web, comprise a nebulous group of metrics that use an ever-shifting list of web services’ APIs as a source of their data [5]. As with data citations, standards do not yet exist to record or report the impact of different types of altmetrics. In light of these challenges, a panel was convened at the ASIS&T Research Data Access & Preservation Summit 2013 (RDAP13) to discuss new developments in exactly how researchers track the impact of data.
