Special Issue: 2023 Research Data Access and Preservation (RDAP) Summit

Abstract

The 2023 Research Data Access and Preservation (RDAP) Summit, Building on Experience: Centering Communities in Data Creation and Access, focused on engagement with and building communities within data environments, including how data is being made more accessible for a wider range of communities. The 2023 RDAP Summit was a natural extension from the prior year’s theme of Envisioning an Inclusive Data Future, which highlighted the ways data service providers tailor their services to address specific needs. A selection of presentations from this year’s Summit were expanded into articles for this special issue covering topics on developing and maintaining communities that address aspects across the research data life cycle.
