    E-RESEARCH1/2010 SESSION FEEDBACK

    PART 1.

    Summary:
    A brief overview of the e-research agenda at the national and
    international level with some discussion of how it is impacted by
    E-research is the application of other regulatory requirements such as privacy legislation and data
    advanced information and storage requirements.
    communication technologies to the
    practice of research. It covers: The agenda is driven by concepts such as research
    collaboration and resulting data storage, access, security,
    longevity and reusability.

    - Online collaboration in Speakers highlighted a range of tools and services which currently
    multi-partner projects exist to facilitate e-research (research collaboration and resulting
    data storage, access, security, longevity and reusability) and
    - Data management within
    and between research services that are set up to find solutions to newly identified
    groups for appropriate problems associated with e-research.
    sharing and re-use
    The University encourages researchers to make use of them.
    - Tools for analysis,
    simulation and/or Links to more information
    modelling, including high-
    performance computing.
    - The University of Sydney is looking to proactively work with
    University researchers to develop solutions to their e-research
    st
    issues. Deadline for EOI is 1 November. More information

    PART 2. Examples of e-research

    The Synaptic Leap http://www.thesynapticleap.org/

    The researcher set up a website and invited the international research community to engage, make
    comments suggestion etc. All research, even that which proved to be unsuccessful, was documented
    and placed on the site. The researchers also used web networking services like LinkedIn to call for
    assistance and through this gained the support of industry to assist with a particular problem.

    The web was created from Drupal software and included functionality such as blogs, discussion
    forums. The site encourages contributors to post under a Creative Commons 2.5 licence, but
    suggests if other copyright requirements are required that posters note these with their post.

    Breast Cancer Microscopy Data Capture http://www.intersect.org.au/breast-cancer-microscopy

    Intersect is implementing the first ANDS-Sydney Data Capture project, which targets improvements to
    the management of microscopic images for breast cancer research, so as to allow suitable non-
    identified versions of the images to be made available more broadly to researchers and discoverable
    in the ARDC.(from website)

    It was noted that data can have conditions attached to its publication including those that might meet
    legislative requirements such as privacy. In this case, only part of a cell image is provided online. If
    the researcher wants to access the full image they make application through the usual ethics process.

    Electronic Lab Notebooks

    An ELN replaces the use of paper notebooks. The user needs to buy the software (there are a few
    products) and licences for the number of researchers who will use it. Licences are owned by the
    purchasing institution and can be reallocated to researchers as needed.

    The example was of a lab (Raymond Purves Bone and Joint Laboratories, Kolling Institute) which
    uses this software as a solution to the problem of not being able to carry materials outside of the lab.
    The data is inputed within the lab and the files can then be accessed anywhere. All researchers feed
    into the notebook and all data can be accessible, although there is the possibility to restrict data
    access.

    The notebook can store raw data and can handle any type of file eg images, spreadsheets, word docs
    etc.

    Other researchers, and supervisors, can view data and make changes or make suggestions etc. All
    changes are tracked by researcher login and date and time.

    The notebook can include ancillary material like literature, methods, equipment manuals etc for easy
    access.

    The Zagora Project, using Heurist http://heuristscholar.org

    Heurist is a web based tool for managing web bookmarks, references, notes, and a wide range of
    research data. The University Zagora project uses the Heurist to collect, contextualise and publish
    the research data.
