Data Collection in Digital Scholar

The libraries are excited to announce a new Data Collection in LSU Health’s Digital Scholar! It showcases the public datasets researchers from LSU Health Sciences Center – New Orleans have published. Publishing datasets is an important aspect of Open Science and reproducibility of published research. Our Data Collection is not a repository, but an archive of published data from other platforms, collected in one place to showcase the scholarly work of everyone at LSUHSC-NO.

If you have published a dataset in an open repository such as Zenodo, Harvard Dataverse, Open Science Framework, Dryad, Figshare, or others: please alert the libraries! We will add them to the growing collection of datasets. You can contact digitalscholar@lsuhsc.edu to submit your dataset, and if you have any other scholarly publications you’d like added to LSU Health’s Digital Scholar.

If you are in need of assistance with a Data Management Plan or where to deposit your data as required by funding or encouraged by the journal you’re publishing with: contact the libraries! Our librarians have experts in helping you in a variety of ways.

Updated Data Management Resource Guide

In response to the NIH accelerating the implementation date of its Public Access Policy to July 1, 2025, the Libraries have updated the Data Management Resource Guide. Authors will now be required to publicly share their manuscripts and supporting data immediately upon publication of their work without an embargo.

Please review this resource and reach out to the Data Services Librarians, Sharon Duffy (sduffy@lsuhsc.edu) and Matthew Folse (mfols3@lsuhsc.edu), with questions related to this new policy.
