The aim of this paper is to study the arguments for and against associating this task with libraries and the impact such an association would have on information professionals, and consider the competitors to libraries in this field. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 This paper considers the nature of data and discusses data typologies, the kinds of data contained within databases and the implications of criticisms of the data-information-knowledge (DIK) hierarchy. It outlines the many competing agencies in the data curation field and describes their relationships to different kinds of data. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 Many data are organically connected to the activities of large, domain-specific organizations; as such, it might be difficult for research libraries to assume a leadership role in curating data. It seems more likely that the qualifications of information professionals will come to be needed in such organizations and that the functions of research libraries will shift toward giving greater prevalence to their role as specialists in scholarly communication. In some cases, however, research libraries may be the best place to select, keep, organize and use research data. To prepare for this task, research libraries should be actively involved in domain-specific analytic studies of their respective domains. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 This paper offers a theoretical analysis and clarification of the problems of data curating from the perspective of research libraries.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-03-2013-0034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,11]],"date-time":"2014-02-11T07:26:40Z","timestamp":1392103600000},"page":"221-240","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Curating research data: the potential roles of libraries and information professionals"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Hans","family":"J\u00f8rn Nielsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Birger","family":"Hj\u00f8rland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2021010300571530100_b1","unstructured":"Ackoff, R.L.\n                (1989), \u201cFrom data to wisdom\u201d, Journal of Applied Systems Analysis, Vol. 16 No. 1, pp. 3-9."},{"key":"key2021010300571530100_b2","unstructured":"Barfort, S.\n                (2010), \u201cSamfundsvidenskabelige Prim\u00e6rdata\u201d (Primary Data of Social Sciences), KUBIS Videncenter for Videnskabelig Kommunikation, Det Kongelige Bibliotek\/K\u00f8benhavns Universitets Biblioteks og Informationsservice, available at: http:\/\/hprints.org\/docs\/00\/45\/10\/00\/PDF\/KUBIS-rapport_om_samfundsvidenskabelige_primaerdata_2009_Barfort_et_al.pdf (accessed 8 May 2012)."},{"key":"key2021010300571530100_b3","unstructured":"Battalio, J.T.\n                (1998), The Rhetoric of Science in the Evolution of American Ornithological Discourse, Ablex, Stamford, CT."},{"key":"key2021010300571530100_b4","unstructured":"Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Economics for a Digital Planet\n                (2013), Sustainable Economics for a Digital Planet.
