Research data
In addition to the e-publishing services for articles, books and journals, arthistoricum.net offers art historians worldwide the opportunity to have their research data permanently archived in the arthistoricum.net@heiDATA research data repository operated by Heidelberg University.
All research data – e.g. images, videos, audio files, tables, graphics etc. – receive a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Thus, they can be cited, viewed and permanently linked to as distinct academic output.
It is also possible to link the research data directly to online publications on the Heidelberg publication platforms.
Long-term archiving of research data is central to good academic practice: It is necessary for the fundamental accountability of research findings that are based on respective data. Furthermore, the archiving makes it possible for the data to be used in further research projects in the future.
Images, audio and video data as well as other multimedia objects are either saved in the UB operated platform heidICON or integrated into the UB’s sustainably hosted Heidelberg digitization system DWork.
Further data publications are available in arthistoricum.net@heiDATA and can be dynamically integrated into the online publication from there. The code of the software used in the context of the publications can also be permanently published and archived on arthistoricum.net@heiDATA.
In the future, not just the publications themselves but also the accompanying media examples will be sustainably archived in the OAIS-compatibly long-term archiving system heiARCHIVE which is currently being developed by the Heidelberg University Computing Centre and Heidelberg University Library in its joint Research Data Unit (RDU).
If you want to archive already existing research data or are planning a new research project, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to advise you.
This service is part of NFDI4Culture – Consortium for Research Data on Material and Immaterial Cultural Heritage
