Efficiencies for Quality Control of Repurposed Metadata.

Abstract/Description
Quality control of bibliographic data is essential in assuring ETDs are both discoverable and accurately described. This poster session outlines semi-automated methods for achieving accurate transcription of bibliographic data in theses and dissertations for both digital repository and catalog records. Earlier methods involved digital repository staff manually inputting bibliographic data then cataloging staff copying that data from the digital repository website into a MARC template along...
Show moreQuality control of bibliographic data is essential in assuring ETDs are both discoverable and accurately described. This poster session outlines semi-automated methods for achieving accurate transcription of bibliographic data in theses and dissertations for both digital repository and catalog records. Earlier methods involved digital repository staff manually inputting bibliographic data then cataloging staff copying that data from the digital repository website into a MARC template along with additional information from the PDF. With the new workflow, manual transcription of bibliographic information found in the PDF is replaced with automated extraction of the PDF data. The extracted PDF data and the ProQuest metadata are used as common source data for XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) programs to generate metadata for both the digital repository (Bepress) and the catalog (MARC21XML). Common modular XSLT programs are included in both transformations, and common XML reference tables provide an index of shared data values. The advantage of this new method is that it combines the quality control of transcription taken directly from the PDF with the time efficiency of automated repurposing of ProQuest metadata. By using common data sources, transformations, and reference tables, the metadata is accurate and consistent for both the digital repository and the catalog. And since staff time is greatly reduced, the ETDs are made available to patrons more quickly.

Abstract/Description
According to the NIH, “two of the cornerstones of science advancement are rigor in designing and performing scientific research and the ability to reproduce biomedical research findings. ”Dissemination of knowledge underpins scientific progress and discovery. It is critical that sufficient, detailed and transparent reporting is done to allow the researchers, funding agencies and policy makers to assess the veracity of the previous findings. Currently, the scientific community lacks a...
Show moreAccording to the NIH, “two of the cornerstones of science advancement are rigor in designing and performing scientific research and the ability to reproduce biomedical research findings. ”Dissemination of knowledge underpins scientific progress and discovery. It is critical that sufficient, detailed and transparent reporting is done to allow the researchers, funding agencies and policy makers to assess the veracity of the previous findings. Currently, the scientific community lacks a structured citation style or method for tracking what types of scientific lab equipment are being utilized to conduct research on grant funded projects or peer reviewed publications. This in turn presents a significant challenge to other researchers who are trying to reproduce the results published by other researchers. Not being able to systematically reference what equipment is being used to conduct experiments also contributes to the crisis in reproducibility that the scientific community is currently facing. This presentation introduces the Universal Scientific Equipment Discovery Tool (USEDiT). USEDiT assigns a universal unique identifier and a standardized set of information for each piece of equipment. Scientists can now easily cite any equipment they use. The goal of USEDiT is to create a tool that enables scientific discovery by making it easier for researchers to cite equipment in peer reviewed publications and in research grant applications. When equipment used in research is properly and consistently cited, the productivity of pieces of equipment can be unambiguously quantified.
