Note: the following is posted in the\u00a0DataONE Data Science Open Notebook<\/a>\u00a0as part of an ongoing research effort concerning \u201cOpen Notebook Science<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Hi Rachel,<\/p>\n Just wanted to confirm with you I\u2019m planning on meeting with you in Hoskins after my class ends Friday morning.<\/p>\n I have spent a bit of time assessing the status of DataUP.<\/p>\n One thing to clarify in the morning is what DataUP tool Dr. Tenopir and Prof. Frame want us to look at.<\/p>\n Per this recent (August 4) tweet,\u00a0https:\/\/twitter.com\/DataUpCDL\/status\/366978011515465729<\/a>, the Excel add-in is being phased out in favor of the OS agnostic Web app: https:\/\/redirect.dataup.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n Therefore it seems likely any usability testing should center on the Web app.<\/p>\n Upon confirming a focus on the DataUP Web app, I think it would be worthwhile to reach out to the research team that devised the DataUP Excel Add-in.<\/p>\n We may find they have some ideas in mind for usability questions and perhaps did not have the time to address the questions or run usability studies on the tool.<\/p>\n The researcher team\u2019s contact information is listed below:<\/p>\n kristin.tolle [at] microsoft.com<\/p>\n carly.strasser [at] ucop.edu<\/p>\n John.Kunze [at] ucop.edu<\/p>\n patricia.cruse [at] ucop.edu<\/p>\n Stephen.Abrams [at] ucop.edu<\/p>\n Perry.Willett [at] ucop.edu<\/p>\n In looking around today, I found these resources that seemed helpful:<\/p>\n http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/projects\/dataup\/ Simplifying data repository adherence and metadata management for environmental science<\/p>\n http:\/\/figshare.com\/articles\/DataUp_Helping_Researchers_Manage_Archive_Share_Tabular_Data\/729045<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/DataUpCDL\/status\/366978011515465729<\/p>\n https:\/\/redirect.dataup.org\/<\/p>\n
