This new volume looks at data-intensive science, or ‘Science 2.0’ as it is sometimes termed in commentary, from a number of perspectives, including the tasks academic libraries need to fulfil, new services that will come online in the near future, data literacy and its relation to other literacies, research support and the need to connect researchers across the academy, and other key issues, such as ‘data deluge,’ the importance of citations, metadata and data repositories.
This book presents a solid resource that contextualizes RDM, including good theory and practice for researchers and professionals who find themselves tasked with managing research data.

- Helps researchers and information professionals understand and optimize data-intensive ways of working
- Considers RDM in relation to varying needs of researchers across the sciences and humanities
- Presents key issues surrounding RDM, including data literacy, citations, metadata and data repositories
