Abbott is (proudly) a bit a dinosaur and still prefers to work in paper, with a collection of folders for each specific project. He still does this even when he’s working digitally, and claims that after teaching his students the benefits of paper files, the scales fall from their eyes and they all begin taking notes with pen and paper. Initially, I was like: Well, that’s very sweet, and Abbott is entitled to his opinion. The use of tools and services to migrate data, metadata, and other representation information into new formats to ensure it remains meaningful to users Abbott tells what every senior researcher knows: that research is not a mechanical, linear process, but a thoughtful and adventurous journey through a nonlinear world.He breaks library research down into seven basic and simultaneous tasks: design, search, scanning/browsing, reading, analyzing, filing, and writing. He moves the reader through the phases of research, from confusion to organization, from vague idea to polished result. He teaches how to evaluate data and prior research; how to follow a trail to elusive treasures; how to organize a project; when to start over; when to ask for help. He shows how an understanding of scholarly values, a commitment to hard work, and the flexibility to change direction combine to enable the researcher to turn a daunting mass of found material into an effective paper or thesis. There is no knowledge revolution—just a new level of overload, a lot of churning, and a lot of hype.

Exploiting initial investment by ensuring that data is available for use and re-use and protecting the financial value of information Digital Paper" is an excellent book; you can benefit from it regardless of your field. It was initially recommended on Reddit in the context of academic reading. I wish I had read this book earlier when I tried to read so many books related to my field as a computer science student. I wish someone had told me then about narrative, master reading, and all other approaches. Preserving data and protecting it against loss and obsolescence (particularly crucial where the data is non-reproducible or extremely valuable) The responsibilities involved in digital curation can be shared across different institutions and communities and change over the life-cycle of the data, often incorporating organisational and cultural issues as well as technical ones. There is often confusion surrounding the specific roles that various stakeholders play in the digital curation life-cycle. As such, disambiguation is urgently required.

Digital curation facilitates:

The problem with project-specific files is that each project makes sense, but your overall biography starts to lose coherence — you don’t anymore have a personal library or personal notes, its just one bloody project after another. But this is part of the sobering truth that Abbott conveys to us: Life is a coffee plantation. It’s your job, as a social scientist, to turn it into a cup of espresso. We are filters through which tremendous amounts of information pass, and in the end the final product of the research process is a paper which condenses and explains life — and a researcher who is a better filter than they were before. Scholars are not ‘learned’ in the sense that they know a lot, because we forget most of what we know. We hold on to it long enough to turn it into findings. Then we move on. As anyone who has ever written a piece knows, your readers often know more about your topic than you do since they read it more recently than you wrote it. From libraries we come, and to libraries we return.Master and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1.
