T ITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

2020 NLM/ODSS Data Resource Metrics Survey

PURPOSE:

The goal of this Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) survey is to gather stakeholder feedback from the community of public users who focus on the metrics and the life cycle management of biomedical data resources. The survey asks the respondents about tracking particular metrics from a list of provided choices and adding additional metrics that they believe are important. The user input will contribute toward a deeper understanding of the existing and desired metrics that resource managers use to judge the usage and impact of data resources. With the stakeholder information gathered from this information collection, recommendations can be developed to promote consistent metrics for this data resource and further advance the NIH Strategic Plan for Data Science.
