Details of Website Discovery
Unless otherwise mentioned, searchers needed to click only once
on the relevant web page to access information on data curation or
management on either the university website or the results page of
a Google search. The need to click more than one link to access rele-
vant information increased the likelihood that searchers would be-
come frustrated or give up searching. Links to NSF, NIH, and other
funding agencies demonstrated an awareness of who is requiring
data curation and management, and the possibility that the require-
ments established by these agencies can be updated at any time.
Iowa State University
Iowa State had two web pages with information related to data man-
agement plans. First, the Office of Sponsored Programs Administra-
tion homepage contained a link to NSF Data Management Plan Info
(Iowa State University 2012). Selecting "Sponsor Requirements" and
then "NSF Data Management Plan Info" led to "National Science
Foundation Data Management Plan Requirements" and "Creating
Data Management Plans for NSF Proposals: Template" (Iowa State
University 2012; Iowa State University a, b).
Second, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences devoted
space to data management plans under "CALS Funding Resources:
Tips and Tools" (College of Agriculture and Life Sciences 2012). That
led to a webpage with the same information contained in the "CALS
Funding Resources: Tips and Tools" and a downloadable document,
"Developing NSF Data Management Plans" (College of Agriculture
and Life Sciences 2012). When opened, the file was titled "Suggested
Practices: Developing a Data Management Plan for NSF Grant Ap-
plications" (Clemens 2011). Links to the NSF frequently asked ques-
tions (FAQs), data management plan development resources and
examples, and information on what costs to include in data manage-
ment plans were provided in the document.
No other relevant web pages, or services, were discovered on the
Iowa State website. Searching the website for "data libraries" result-
ed in no additional relevant search results, nor were any additional
pages discovered by searching for more information using Google.
Kansas State University
Kansas State had multiple websites and services dealing with data
curation and management services. The Office of Research and
Sponsored Programs listed two resources on its "Proposal Writing
Resources" page: "NIH Data Management Plans" and "NSF Data
Management Plans" (Kansas State University Office of Sponsored
Programs 2012f). "NIH Data Management Plans" provided informa-
tion on NIH's data sharing requirements and linked to NIH resourc-
es (Kansas State University Office of Sponsored Programs 2012c).
"NSF Data Management Plans" provided examples of information
required and speculated about possible future requirements (Kan-sas State University Office of Sponsored Programs 2012d). It linked
