Abstract
The Texas Data Repository (TDR) is guided by a Steering committee of liaisons from 11 universities in Texas. From 2017 – 2019, The TDR Assessment Working Group (AWG) evaluated reporting metrics including a survey of TDR Steering Committee Members, comparison with an institutional repository reporting metric (Texas ScholarWorks), and two emerging standards of best practice for research data reporting: COUNTER Code of Practice and Google Analytics. This poster presents the findings of this AWG study, a comparison of potential reporting metrics for research data, and the recommendations for the TDR Steering Committee reporting moving forward.
