| Summary: | During the past decade, the relevance of research data stewardship has been rising significantly and data publication has become more familiar. Preservation of research data for long-term use, including its storage in adequate repositories has been identified as a key issue by the scientific community as well as by research agencies and the public. In practice, however, the current state of data sharing and re-use requires considerable improvement. This paper reviews recent developments in this area, and aims to provide some guidance to the increasing diversity of newly developed digital solutions, such as data journals, online data repositories, and citable digital object identifier (DOI) for datasets. We examine the differences and similarities between different examples of Arctic-related data management, including the newly created database of the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost GTN-P, a Canadian example of a (meta)data portal (Polar Data Catalogue), and examples of data repositories (e.g., PANGAEA, Nordicana D) and data journals (e.g., Earth System Science Data). We also describe the newly established Registry of Research Data Depositories (re3data.org) as a convenient resource for individual researchers to get an overview on and identify an appropriate repository for their scientific datasets as well for funding agencies during the evaluation process of the data management plan of research proposals. In den letzten zehn Jahren ist die Bedeutung des Zugangs und der Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten gestiegen. Neue Publikationsstrategien für Forschungsdaten stellen sicher, dass wissenschaftliche Daten dauerhaft in geeigneten Daten-Repositorien gespeichert und zugänglich gemacht werden können. Auch wenn die Umsetzung dieser Publikationsstrategien von der wissenschaftlichen Community und von Forschungsförderorganisationen als zentrale Herausforderung für das Wissenschaftssystem benannt wird, ergeben sich in der Praxis noch viele Herausforderungen. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über aktuelle ... |
