About SHARESHARE_b4b65e42-4301-11e5-b323-b7e37ff8c5b5SHARE is a higher education initiative whose mission is to maximize research impact by making a comprehensive inventory of research widely discoverable, accessible, and reusable. To fulfill this mission SHARE is creating an openly available data set about research activities across their life cycle.Association of Research LibrariesSHARE is an initiative led by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and founded with the support of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU).Association of American UniversitiesAssociation of Public and Land-grant UniversitiesCenter for Open ScienceSHARE has partnered with the Center for Open Science (COS) for infrastructure development...COS, a Charlottesville, Virginia-based nonprofit technology start-up, is SHARE's principal technology partner and is building SHARE's first product, SHARE Notify. SHARE Notify will make use of the Open Science Framework (OSF), COS’s existing, free, open-source platform designed to connect the scholarly workflow.The mission of COS is to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research. COS believes that openness and reproducibility are core scientific values because science is a distributed, non-hierarchical culture for accumulating knowledge. No individual is the arbiter of truth. Knowledge accumulates by sharing information and independently reproducing results. Ironically, the reward structure for scientists does not provide incentives for individuals to pursue openness and reproducibility. As a consequence, they are not common practices. COS aims to nudge incentives to align scientific practices with scientific values.Institute of Museum and Library ServicesSHARE is funded in part by a joint $1 million grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for developing and launching SHARE's first project, a notification service called SHARE Notify.Alfred P. Sloan FoundationSHARE TeamSHARE is stewarded by the leadership of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Association of American Universities (AAU), and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), in conjunction with founding director Dr. Tyler Walters, dean of university libraries, Virginia Tech. SHARE is further guided by the input and insights of an Advisory Board, a Joint Working Group, and an Operations Team, as well as by our partnership with the Center for Open Science.Dr. Tyler WaltersFounding Director -- dean of university libraries, Virginia TechSHARE Advisory BoardThe SHARE Advisory Board meets regularly to provide strategic direction for the project.Joyce BackusAssociate Director for Library Operations, National Library of Medicine (NLM), NLM Liaison to SHAREFlorence HudsonSenior Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer, Internet2Heather JosephExecutive Director, SPARCRick LuceAssociate Vice President for Research and Dean of University Libraries, University of OklahomaClifford LynchExecutive Director, CNIElliott ShoreExecutive Director, ARL, and Chair, SHARE Executive CommitteeMacKenzie SmithUniversity Librarian, University of California, DavisMichael TannerChief Academic Officer and Vice President, APLU, and SHARESHARE Executive CommitteeJohn C.

Like the four separate working groups (Workflow, Technical, Repository Community, and Communications) that preceded it, the Joint Working Group:* Helps define the scope of SHARE Notify* Identifies potential roadblocks in SHARE Notify development process* Refines our communication strategy as we talk with a range of stakeholders* Holds us accountable for our commitments* Serves as a sounding board on a variety of issuesMuch of the actual work performed by working group participants is done as part of task groups designed to allow participation across boundaries, encourage community leadership, and ensure that participants know the purpose and duration of their commitment.We are pleased that the vast majority of members from the original four working groups will be joining us in this new structure. We will continue to benefit from their wise counsel and candid feedback.Robert AllenBerkeley Electronic PressRegina AvilaNational Institute of Standards and TechnologyGeoff BilderCrossRefJoni BlakeGreater Western Library AllianceH.

Each task group has a brief charge, a clearly articulated set of deliverables, a defined timeline, and reports the outcome of its work to the working group. The task groups listed below provide a few examples of the work being done.SHARE Manual Curation Task GroupMay - October 2015 (Robert Allen, Brian Mitchell, Amy Yeager).Metadata Task Group for SHARE NotifyFebruary - April 2015 (Todd Carpenter, Brian Mitchell, Robert Allen, Amy Brand, Howard Ratner, Mark Matienzo, Jeff Spies, Eric Celeste).SHARE Research Networking/Profiling/Information Systems Task GroupMay - October 2015 (Debra Hanken Kurtz (chair), Rebecca Kennison, Judy Ruttenberg, Julie Speer, Gail Steinhart, Claire Stewart, Greg Tananbaum, Alex Viggio).SHARE Reports Task GroupMay - October 2015 (Austin Booth (chair), Eric Celeste, Kaylyn Groves, Lisa Johnston, Cynthia Vitale, COS team).SHARE Summer 2015 Community Meeting Task GroupMarch - May 2015 (Linda Plunket, Gail Steinhart, Andrew Sallans, Lisa Johnston, Kimberly Tryka, Jennifer Champagne, Judy Ruttenberg).SHARE Website Review Task GroupFebruary - March 2015 (Kaylyn Groves, Linda Plunket, Joshua Neds-Fox, Kim Tryka, Nettie Legace, Rachel Frick, Greg Tananbaum).SHARE StakeholdersSHARE is a higher education initiative to make a comprehensive inventory of research widely discoverable, accessible, and reusable.

Much of that innovation cannot be predicted in advance, and it would be impossible without SHARE.Progress ReportsCreate infrastructure to track and integrate reports of progress across the research life cycle, from proposals to execution to results._b4b666d0-4301-11e5-b323-b7e37ff8c5b53SHARE is creating infrastructure to track and integrate reports of progress across the research life cycle, from proposals to execution to results. We will provide stakeholders with the information necessary to improve their workflows for tracking research outcomes, outputs, and impact. SHARE will harmonize how research outputs and their associated metadata are distributed, optimizing information sharing for funding bodies, institutions, and individual researchers. We will promote policies that will enable institutions to fully participate in, and benefit from, these infrastructure and workflow improvements.2015-08-14http://www.share-research.org/about/about-share/OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
