1. IM System Overview
Introduction
Our priorities in the Jornada IM team are to:
Contribute to high quality, impactful ecology and rangeland research at all stages of the data life cycle.
Oversee, or directly handle, publication of all Jornada datasets
- In the process we ensure data meet FAIR data principles & the LTER Data Access Policy.
Act as a source of data-related leadership and education
- We do this through committee & working group participation, open-source software development, outreach activity, and teaching.
Research project management
Research projects at the Jornada are initiated by requesting approval using John Anderson’s “Research notification” process. A summary of this process, and links to relevant documents are on the “For researchers” page of the JRN and JER websites.
Data management
Data management expectations for researchers are also outlined on the JRN and JER websites. Field data collection of long-term datasets is typically handled by the Jornada Field Crew, under the supervision of John Anderson.
