Supporting, recognising and rewarding eResearch – exploring current practice
Max Bryant1 1Digital Science, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand
Abstract
eResearch is becoming increasingly important as the move to open access and technological advances empower access to and analysis of large datasets and new mechanisms of knowledge creation and dissemination. But in a world of traditional measures of academic excellence, how are emerging research practices supported, recognised and rewarded?
This Birds of a Feather session will feature a guided discussion exploring how eResearch is changing research practice and management and how organisations are responding. It will seek to identify examples of innovation in research management practices to support, recognise and reward eResearch activities and engage the audience in a collaborative effort to identify what best practice could look like as this field continues to evolve.
