Reference managers

Bibliography management programmes, known as reference managers, are tools that help to collect and manage data obtained from various sources about the materials used in the work, such as articles, books, chapters, websites, and others.

The use of such programmes is, above all, very convenient and time-saving when writing scientific or diploma theses. The advantage of reference managers is that the bibliographic data are entered into the programme only once and can be used for each subsequent article.

They allow automatic creation of bibliographic descriptions according to your own or selected style and the insertion of references and an appendix bibliography in literally a few clicks. No need to manually edit bibliographic descriptions anymore, or to think about the order of descriptions in the bibliography.

Among the most popular reference managers are:

• Zotero - Literature management programme
• Mendeley - Literature management software*
• EndNote - Literature management programme

Instruction materials on reference managers and learning tools

Change in the Mendeley software usage policy for users using the company/student MS Office software.

Until now, Mendeley Desktop software was used, which was a stand-alone desktop application (it had to be downloaded, installed and used in a local account). By decision of the software manufacturer, this version is no longer being developed and maintained. Alternatively, the manufacturer has made it possible to download and use the Mendeley Reference Manager tool, which is ultimately intended to replace Mendeley Desktop. Unfortunately, the MS Word plug-in dedicated to MS Office 365, for technical reasons, only integrates with cloud accounts (and not local accounts), hence the problem with its use in our University.

To ensure that staff/students can continue to work with Mendeley software, we recommend:

• For Microsoft Office 365 accounts in the cloud (student and doctoral accounts)
  • install Mendeley Reference Manager and the Mendeley Cite plug-in
  • annotation is only possible for documents in MS Word Online
• For local Microsoft Office 365 accounts (staff accounts): use the legacy version of Mendeley Desktop and install the MS Word plug-in (locally on the device in question) - until the problem is systemically resolved.
• If using versions of MS Office other than 365 (staff devices with earlier versions of MS Office)
  • install Mendeley Reference Manager and the Mendeley Cite plug-in
  • the plug-in will install locally on the device in question (may require assistance of the system administrator)

Data Management Plan (DMP)

DMP is a document required for grant applications under Horizon 2020 and its successor Horizon Europe programmes, and in National Science Centre competitions.
The plan should describe what data applicants will use in the course of their work:

• How will the data be produced (e.g. will it be self-generated or purchased, etc.)?
• Who will have the rights to the data?
• Will the data be made available to other users and under what conditions?
• Where will the data be stored?
• How will the data be described?

Please take a look at the tabs:

• DMP in NCN programmes
• DMP in the HORIZON programme

The Reference and Bibliometric Analysis Department is consulting WUT staff on the correctness of research Data Management Plans prepared for submission. Please contact us by email:

• Magdalena Maciąg: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
• Monika Gajewska: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Creating a DMP is a complex process, each plan is different, so the following free tools can be useful in the creation of a DMP:

• DMPTool (US) – contains examples of DMPs. It allows you to prepare DMP templates tailored to the requirements of US grantors
• DMPonline (UK) – a tool to facilitate work with DMPs, allowing the creation of templates
• DSW - Data Stewardship Wizard – a tool to facilitate work with DMPs, allowing the creation of templates
• The Data Curation Center – a service from a UK institution specialising in research data management. Among other things, it provides: ready-made data management plans, guides, guidelines and information on metadata

DMP in NCN programmes

A Data Management Programme (DMP) is prepared at the grant application stage:

• A template is available for the plan to be submitted
• The template is divided into 6 parts - each part contains a set of questions. The individual fields can be up to 1,000 characters including spaces (except for point 2.1 - where the limit of 2,000 characters applies)
• The plan is subject to an expert evaluation at the final report assessment stage. The evaluation will consist in comparing the plan in the application with its implementation

The DMP may be subject to change during the course of the project:

• It is recommended to update the Data Management Plan during the project duration
• There is no need to inform NSC about changes in DMP
• The final report should describe the actual state of data in the project - as of the project completion date. It may be different than initially planned
• DMP should be prepared in English (excluding thumbnails)

The National Science Centre template consists of the following elements:

1.1 Data description and collection or re-use of existing data
In this section you should answer the following questions:

• How will new data be collected or produced and/or how will existing data be reused?
• How will the data be controlled and documented?
• How will the files be organised and their different versions managed?

  See example

  See example

  The reaction of hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) will be carried out at atmospheric pressure, in a glass flow reactor equipped with a fritted disk to place a catalyst charge. Prior to reaction, the catalyst will be reduced in flowing hydrogen (30 cm3/min), ramping the temperature from 20 to 600 °C (at ∼15 °C/min) and kept at 600 °C for 1 h. All reactions will be followed by gas chromatography (HP 5890 series II with FID 5% Fluorcol/Carbopack B column (10 ft) from Supelco). The results of GC analysis will be elaborated using HP ChemStation (software). XRD studies of Ni–Ru/SiO2 catalysts at various stages of their biography (after calcination, after reduction, and after hydrodechlorination) are also planned to furnished useful information. XRD experiments will be performed on a standard Siemens D5000 diffractometer using Ni-filtered CuKα radiation. Those experiments are planned to do in an external laboratory. The data set will consist of xml files and description of the methodology (if the versioning happens during the research, all versions will be available in the set).
  

1.2 What data (for example the kinds, formats, and volumes) will be collected or produced?
In this section you should answer the following questions about the planned format and volume of data:

• What type of data will it be (e.g. documents, spreadsheets, audio files, videos, databases, source code)?
• What format and volume the data will be in (the file format can be anything, the most important thing is to choose a format that provides universal access and openness. Open and standard formats should be considered first)?
• Whether and how will the data be encoded for storage?
  
  sliders_set_5

  slider_see-example-2

  See example

  See example

• A template of the plan to be submitted is available - the template is a set of questions to be answered
• The DMP needs to be updated on an ongoing basis - if significant changes occur (e.g. decision to file a patent, need to make research confidential, etc.)
• Costs related to open access to research data under Horizon 2020 are eligible for reimbursement during the course of the project, under the terms of the H2020 grant agreement, in particular Article 6 and Article 6.2.D.3
• The plan should be prepared in English

The DMP should include the following elements to address specific questions:

Data Summary

• What is the purpose of data collection/generation?
• What types and formats of data will be collected/generated?
• What is the origin of the data (will we generate it ourselves or use existing data)?
• Who will have the rights to the data - is it necessary to conclude agreements on the use and dissemination of the data?
• What is the expected size of the data?

  slider_see-example-7

  See example

  See example

  An online survey system will be used to collect data from the respondents. The data will be interpreted and used for writing a scientific paper. The survey will be conducted by using the LimeSurvey tool. LimeSurvey is a free software. It will be downloaded and installed on the University server to ensure the data safety. Access to the software will be protected with login data. Only researchers involved in the survey will have access to the collected data. The survey will be conducted anonymously. We do not assume collecting any personal data which need to be protected. The researchers will have all legal rights to the survey output. The data will be stored on the University server in the Lime Survey software until the end of the survey. When the survey has been completed, all data will be transformed into the csv. (comma-delimited file). All questions from the questionnaire will be transferred into the text file (.odt). The survey methodology will be written and saved in text format. The data set will consist of those three files. The data set will have up to 50 GB. As the data dimensions are relatively low, no new specialist processing or storage will be required.
  

FAIR data (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable)

• To what extent will the data comply with FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable)?
• With which metadata description format will the datasets be described?
• Will they be assigned a unique identifier, e.g. DOI?
• Will the data be placed in a publicly accessible repository / service and made available to other users? If so, under what licence?
• Will reading the data require additional software (how and with which tools will it be readable)?
• How long will the data be available in the repository?
• Do the publishers of the journal in which the research results will be described require research data to be included with the article?
• For more on the FAIR principles, see Sharing research data
  
  sliders_set_17

  slider_see-example-8

  See example

  See example

  The data and their associated metadata will be deposed in a public repository Zenodo. This repository meets all FAIR requirements. (Meta)data are assigned a globally unique and persistent identifier. A DOI is issued to every published record on Zenodo. Zenodo's metadata is compliant with DataCite's Metadata Schema minimum and recommended terms, with a few additional enrichments. Metadata of each record is indexed and searchable directly in Zenodo's search engine immediately after publishing. Metadata of each record is sent to DataCite servers during DOI registration and indexed there. Metadata for individual records as well as record collections are harvestable using the OAI-PMH protocol by the record identifier and the collection name. Metadata is also retrievable through the public REST API. Data and metadata will be retained for the lifetime of the repository. This is currently the lifetime of the host laboratory CERN, which currently has an experimental program defined for the next 20 years at least. Metadata are stored in high-availability database servers at CERN, which are separate from the data itself. Metadata use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. The data set will open to all users under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) license. More information about the licence can be found on the European Commission webpage. Sharing of the data will follow the principle "as open as possible, as closed as necessary". Specifically, the research data will validate the results presented in a published scientific paper. The data will be available at the same time as the paper is published.
  

Allocation of resources

• What are the costs associated with meeting the FAIR standard?
• What will be the costs associated with storing and sharing the data (will the data be shared in a paid service and what will be the cost)?
• Who will be responsible for data management in the project?
  
  sliders_set_18

  slider_see-example-9

  See example

  See example

  In Zenodo, the content may be uploaded free of charge. The person responsible for managing the data and creating metadata compatible with the standard used in Zenodo Repository is the supervisor of the whole project, namely, Prof. Marcin Sosnowski.
  

Data security

• What rules will be in place to ensure data security, including data recovery (in case of data loss)?
• If sensitive data will be collected during the project, how will it be secured?
• Will the data require additional processing to ensure its anonymity?
• Does the repository / data storage facility meet basic security principles?
  
  sliders_set_19

  slider_see-example-10

  See example

  See example

  Regarding the secure storage of the data, the project will use an architecture based on cloud services to store the data. The used services provide the functionalities needed to address secure storage and data security. The questionnaire will be available to respondents for 3 months. Each week, it will be sent to another respondents group. Each week, a copy of the data will be created, transformed into csv. and then put into the cloud. In case of unusual situation or losing data, the .csv file can be uploaded to the LimeSurvey. Access to the LimeSurvey tool will also be protected with login data (username and password). Only researchers will have access to this tool.
  

Ethical aspects

• Are there any ethical or legal issues that may affect data sharing?
• If personal questionnaires were used, was respondents' consent to the sharing and long-term storage of data taken into account?
  
  sliders_set_20

  slider_see-example-11

  See example

  See example

  The questionnaire used in this survey will contain an obligatory clause with the information about the purpose of the survey. All respondents will be informed that their answers will be interpreted and used for gathering more knowledge about social behavior. Respondents will also be ensured that their personal data will not be collected or shared.
  

Other issues

• Do you use specific data management procedures (e.g. national / project / university guidelines)? If yes, please specify which procedures you use.
