Pippin from Lord of the Rings asking Aragorn "What about your data? Aragorn replies "My data is in the paper" Pippin then asks "But what about publishing your data so it's more findable and reusable?"

For this week's #MemeMonday, don't be like Aragorn! If you're able to, please consider publishing your data in a reputable repository. We here at DRP deposit our rescued data in #DataLumos from @icpsr.bsky.social

Next! How can I report errors with a #DataLumos project if I find one?

Speaking of @icpsr.bsky.social, our next question is whether there is a risk of #DataLumos being taken down too?

We also use @icpsr.bsky.social's #DataLumos when uploading data into a repository.

graphic promoting data protection with DataLumos. The background is navy blue with accents of maize and white. The top text states, "Help us protect at-risk data" in bold white capital letters. Below, a yellow rounded rectangle contains the phrase "with DataLumos" in black text. A large white checkmark curves from the right side, adding emphasis. At the bottom, a rectangular image of a woman in business attire interacting with a digital data dashboard is framed in maize and navy. The screen displays graphs, charts, and global statistics. The final text at the bottom states, "Today's contributions build tomorrow’s success," in white, centered across the design. White arrow-like accents in the corners frame the layout.

Data is at risk.

#ICPSR at #UMISR is working to preserve key datasets through #DataLumos, an open-access archive protecting critical federal datasets.
