How To Create a Data Management Plan

More and more, grants are requiring a data management plan in order to meet their funder requirements. A good data management plan will also help you manage your data and help others use your data if shared.

A good resource available to you at the university is the DMP Tool. This tool provides templates for Data Management and Sharing Plans that comply with NIH and other funder requirements. You can access the tool with your Mizzou email address, enabling you to share your plans with a data librarian for review and access templates containing language specific to Mizzou’s resources.  

Not sure where to start? Schedule a Data Management and Sharing Consultation with a librarian.

If you have a data management and sharing plan already, you can submit your Data Management and Sharing Plan for a Data Librarian to review

Publish for Free in Cambridge University Press

In the spring of 2024, the MU Libraries announced a transformational “Read & Publish” agreement with Cambridge University Press.

This agreement greatly expanded MU’s electronic access to Cambridge journals (the “Read”), and it waived Article Processing Charges (APCs) to make your work Open Access (the “Publish”).

The initial agreement allowed for waiving 10 APCs. We are pleased to announce that in 2025, the MU Libraires we will to fund an uncapped number of APCs.

In order to qualify for a waiver, the MU author must be one of the corresponding authors. The original research can be published in any Cambridge journal that is designated as Gold OA, Hybrid OA or Research Open.

Read more about the MU Read & Publish agreement with Cambridge University Press. See which journals are eligible by using the eligibility checker tool.

Where To Store Your Data

Finding where to store your data can difficult. Our data services librarian has curated a robust list of data repositories based on discipline.

This extensive list includes:

  • A description of each repository
  • any costs associated with storing the data
  • submission information
  • who has access to the data

But how will know what repository is best for you? Consider the following:

  1. Depending on your funding and the data that your project generates, you may be required to deposit your data in a specific repository. If this is the case, your funding agency/institution will explicitly state where you must store your data.
  2. Otherwise, if there is a repository that is commonly used within your discipline, you should store your data there. A great way to locate these repositories is by consulting mentors on where they have stored project data in the past.
  3. In the absence of a funder-mandated or a discipline-specific repository, you should store your data in either a generalist or an institutional repository.

If you’d like to discuss the best place to store your data, connect with our data services librarian.

New Ebooks at Mizzou Libraries: Medicine and Health Sciences

Below are a few of the medicine and health sciences ebooks we’ve recently added to our online collection. You can see the rest of our new ebooks here.

These ebooks were purchased with student success grant funds awarded by the Office of the Provost.

 

Emerging Pandemics : Connections with Environment and Climate Change

Pandemics are often associated with viruses and bacteria occurring in wildlife in natural environments. Thus, diseases of epidemic and pandemic scale are mostly zoonotic, some of which include AIDS, Zika virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19. The book seeks to explore the documented history of pandemics and various epidemics that have the potential of turning into pandemics with the warming climate, pollution, and environmental destruction.

 

 

The International Encyclopedia of Health Communication

The International Encyclopedia of Health Communication presents a thorough overview of a dynamic field, bringing together entries by an international panel of contributors that address a comprehensive range of recent and emerging topics. With a global and interdisciplinary focus, this timely resource addresses cutting-edge digital technology, complementary and integrative healthcare, diversity and inclusion, health equity, COVID-19, and much more.

 

Artificial Intelligence for Neurological Disorders

The book discusses many machine learning techniques to detect neurological diseases at the cellular level, as well as other applications such as image segmentation, classification and image indexing, neural networks and image processing methods. Chapters include AI techniques for the early detection of neurological disease and deep learning applications using brain imaging methods like EEG, MEG, fMRI, fNIRS and PET for seizure prediction or neuromuscular rehabilitation.

 

 

 

The Hospice Heritage

Through The Hospice Heritage: Celebrating Our Future, physicians, nurses, social workers, and clergy will find unique examples to give patients the attention, care, and understanding they need at that time in their life. Since 80 percent of people who die do so without the support of a hospice program, this important book offers approaches designed to expand access to hospice and provide a solid foundation of treatment for patients with cancer and non-cancer diagnoses.

 

 

 

Ataxic Disorders

This volume’s primary goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of recent developments and advancements in the study of ataxic disorders. Beginning with an examination of the cerebellar region, and then progressing to a fresh perspective on the clinical aspects of the various forms of ataxia, this handbook gives clinicians a state-of-the-art reference for the management of the many etiologies and neurological manifestations of ataxic disorders.

Finding and Evaluating Health Datasets

Finding available data can be difficult, but our data services librarian can help with the process. To get started, you can find some available health datasets linked on our guide.

Once you find your data, how do you make sure the data you find is credible? Here are some steps for you to keep in mind to ensure what you find is useful for your project.

  1. Look for supporting documentation outlining what the data is, how it was collected, and how to interpret the data.
    • Tip: Look for readme files, data dictionaries/codebooks, and a collection methodology
  2. Make sure you can open all files associated with the data.
  3. Ensure that all files are clearly labeled and store the information and/or data that is indicated in the file name.
  4. Within the data files, check for the following:
    • Variables are clearly labeled with standard naming conventions.
      • Example: First names are labeled as FirstName and last names are labeled as LastName
    • Units of measurement for different variables are explicitly stated.
      • Example: You can tell if measurements are given in centimeters (cm) or inches (in)
    • Each variable contains a discrete unit of information.
      • Example: blood pressure and zip code are stored in separate columns
    • Variables follow data standards and have consistent formatting.
      • Example: All dates are in yyyy-mm-dd format

Still need help finding and evaluating data? Connect with our data services librarian who can help you find the data you need.
