2. Communicating Conservation Research & Ideas With Guest Spotlights by: Megan Baker, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute Jen Hammock, Encyclopedia of Life Katja Schulz, Encyclopedia of Life Brian Gratwicke, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute Scott Loss, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute 2 3. Participants will Learn about the interrelationships across different types of collaboration environments and how they impact and benefit conservation biology researchers and organizations. Use a variety of collaboration and data sharing tools, create profiles and connect to colleagues. Explore best practices and ethics related to multimedia publishing. Understand the potential impact of social media and ways to measure this impact. 3 4.

What are common concerns about data sharing for scientists? How can you facilitate re-use of your data and ensure appropriate re-use? Where can you share your data and find data shared by others? 24 25. Why share data? Increase visibility of your work Ensure future relevance of your data Contribute to big data science Meet funding agency requirements Forward-thinking ecologists will organize and archive data for posterity, publicly share their data, and participate in collaborations that address large-scale questions. Hampton et al. 2013 25 26. Things to think about Long term storage Data mobilization, portability and findability Formats supported Support for rich metadata to enable appropriate re-use of your data Attribution and licensing metadata to clearly define permitted use and appropriate citation Audience and reach 26 27. Check repository features. eg: DRYAD Check out examples, see what is searchable. eg: PANGAEA Think about your column labels and parameters. eg: NODC And one more thing What to do, what to check 27 28.

Are there tools or strategies you would like to share with everyone? What have you tried and how did it go? What do you want to try in the future? What problem might you have that you think one of these tools will help solve? The Table Facilitators will capture the tools ad strategies for addition to the course Project space in ResearchGate.
