  • announcing the journal of the medical Library Association s data sharing policy
    Journal of The Medical Library Association, 2019
    Co-Authors: Katherine G Akers, Kevin Read, Liz Amos, Lisa Federer, Ayaba Logan, Scott T Plutchak
    Abstract:

    As librarians are generally advocates of open access and data sharing, it is a bit surprising that peer-reviewed journals in the field of librarianship have been slow to adopt data sharing policies. Starting October 1, 2019, the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) is taking a step forward and implementing a firm data sharing policy to increase the rigor and reproducibility of published research, enable data reuse, and promote open science. This editorial explains the data sharing policy, describes how compliance with the policy will fit into the journal’s workflow, and provides further guidance for preparing for data sharing.

  • collaboration between health sciences librarians and faculty as reflected by articles published in the journal of the medical Library Association
    Journal of The Medical Library Association, 2018
    Co-Authors: Katherine G Akers, Molly Higgins, Jennifer A Devito, Sally Stieglitz, Robert Tolliver, Clara Y Tran
    Abstract:

    A recent study by Higgins and colleagues reports that the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) had the highest percentage of articles with both librarian and faculty coauthors out of 13 peer-reviewed journals in science, technology, engineering, and medicine librarianship and education between 2005 and 2014. A deeper and updated analysis of JMLA research articles and case studies published between 2008 and 2017 revealed that 29% of articles had both librarian and faculty coauthors. The main topics of librarian-faculty collaboration, as described in these articles, were related to patient and consumer health information and clinical information-seeking and decision-making by health care providers. Most faculty coauthors came from the disciplines of biomedical or health informatics and biostatistics and Library and information science. The publication of these articles in the JMLA provides evidence of health sciences librarians’ and information specialists’ ability to collaborate with faculty members to advance the knowledgebase and practice of librarianship and the health sciences.

    Abstract:

    Providing access to the data underlying research results in published literature allows others to reproduce those results or analyze the data in new ways. Health sciences librarians and information professionals have long been advocates of data sharing. It is time for us to practice what we preach and share the data associated with our published research. This editorial describes the activity of a working group charged with developing a research data sharing policy for the Journal of the Medical Library Association.

  • The Medical Library Association Data Services Competency: a framework for data science and open science skills development
    Journal of The Medical Library Association, 2020
    Co-Authors: Lisa Federer, Kevin Read, Erin D. Foster, Ann Glusker, Margaret Henderson, Shirley Zhao
    Abstract:

    Increasingly, users of health and biomedical libraries need assistance with challenges they face in working with their own and others’ data. Librarians have a unique opportunity to provide valuable support and assistance in data science and open science but may need to add to their expertise and skill set to have the most impact. This article describes the rationale for and development of the Medical Library Association Data Services Competency, which outlines a set of five key skills for data services and provides a course of study for gaining these skills.
