Research Data College
There are many benefits to opening up research data. These include increasing the transparency of scientific research, consolidating research results, sharing the burden of collection work, encouraging the reuse and cross-referencing of data sets.
This requires infrastructures to be adapted and changes to the practices of researchers and professionals who accompany them throughout the data life cycle to change. Research data need to be structured, documented, preserved and opened or shared in compliance with the relevant legal framework.
The Research Data College contributes to these developments by carrying out studies and surveys to better understand data management practices while taking the diversity of disciplines, contexts and methodologies into account. It produces resources and practical guides to accelerate opening data, particularly those associated with scientific publications. It encourages the enhancement of data warehouses’ quality and works to promote the reuse of research data.
Véronique Stoll is a conservateur en chef des bibliothèques (head library curator) and currently the director of the Paris Observatory Library where she is responsible for open science issues.
She worked in central administration at the Ministry of Higher Education and Research before working for about ten years at the Ministry of Defence and then joining the Paris Observatory.
Her current work mainly focuses on support for research and its promotion and dissemination (bibliometrics, open access to publications, research data) both at the institutional level and at the National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU). She actively takes part in various groups and networks involved in open science (Research Data Alliance, universe science observatories, etc.).
