Research Exemplar Project, United States, 2017
The Research Exemplar Project was a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews followed by thematic analysis. In this study, 52 federally-funded researchers in the United States identified as exemplars by peers provided their perspectives on building effective, productive, and high-quality working relationships and research teams. The purpose was to study the behaviors, practices, and priorities the exemplars use to promote high-quality and impactful research and to uphold standards of research integrity and compliance in their research labs. These behaviors help to elucidate leadership and management practices that foster the production of excellent research. The analysis focused on thematic analysis of behaviors, practices, and individual characteristics reflected in the interviews. Quantitative demographic information such as age group, gender, academic rank, race, ethnicity, and education level was also collected.

The Ithaka S+R study Teaching with Data in the Social Sciences (TDSS) built on Ithaka's S+R's ongoing research program to investigate teaching practices and support needs across multiple disciplines within higher education. The goals were to understand teaching of foundational skills necessary for success in a data-driven world; how to help students achieve data literacy; how to facilitate finding datasets; and identifying tools to help students manipulate, understand, and visualize data. Twenty institutions contributed to the overall project. This collection contains project data from Washington University in St. Louis. The university research team conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 instructors who, at the time of study, taught with data to undergraduates in the social sciences (Anthropology, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, History, Business, Economics).
