Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The University of Alberta Libraries (UAL) and Harvard’s Center for the History of Medicine (CHoM) have described and exposed maternal and pediatric research records to enable their long-term discovery, access, security, and reuse. CHoM has described special collections research studies, and UAL has described contemporary, born digital research studies by Women and Children’s Health Research Institute (WCHRI) researchers. The project seeks to close the gap left by current research data management practices, which often overlook data’s long-term and multidisciplinary reuse potential. CHoM and UAL will created metadata for research data collections and push discovery through Dataverse and other portals. As a result of the project, CHoM and UAL will also develop and distribute recommended best practices for describing research data for discoverability with both the special collections and current health research community in mind. This project is funded by the Council on Library & Information Resources with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
