Tonight I watched Elisha M. Wood-Charlson, KBase User Engagement Lead, present at the LISA workshop. Wood-Charlson spoke about publishing with KBase and the “research data lifecycle.” The cycle of creating and managing data with FAIR principles in mind. Wood-Charlson noted that 2022 was declared the year of open science and mandates were created to promote open science. KBase has the Credit Engine Team with Zack Crocket and others to make sure your data gets credit. Provenance is integral to KBase, and there are KBase resources to make your products FAIR: data can be reused. Wood-Charlson shared a glossary of persistent identifiers (PIDs) so that not only the author and article are identifiable, but also credit to the contributors and funders for all research products. An example of a static narrative using the internal KBase narrative ID was shared, highlighting metrics of views from inside and outside KBase. KBase requests Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) from OSTI.gov and then this information is shared with DataCite. A FAIR narrative with a DOI can be shared with a genome announcement publication, for example. Wood-Charlson provided an overview of the MRA Template Narrative. There is also a template for Metagenome Assembled Genomes (MAGs). Ellen Dow leads the Educators program. Anna McLoon’s class narratives (6) for specific isolates were highlighted. Wood-Charlson did explain that for a genome announcement, data does have to be uploaded to NCBI and is also kept as part of KBase. I really want us to create narratives and publish MRAs this semester!
