Abstract ID#: 70535 Password: 954420 Abstract Title: "How to Leave a Trail (a.k.a. Skills for Effective Data Preservation)" INS 19: "Skills and Knowledge for Data-intensive Ecological Research across the Data Lifecycle" (#14316) Wednesday, August 8, 2018 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Editing Your Abstract

Abstract editing is now available. You may edit your abstract through Tuesday, May 1 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time (2:00 PM Pacific).

Attention students! This is your final opportunity to edit your coauthor list. Please make sure important names (i.e. your advisor) appear as they should in the program. We will be unable to edit coauthors after the editing period has ended.

How to Edit Your Abstract

1. Please follow the first link to VIEW your abstract as it will appear in the preliminary program:

http://eco.confex.com/eco/2018/preliminaryprogram/abstract_70535.htm

2. If you need to edit your abstract, follow the second link below to do so.

http://eco.confex.com/eco/2018/inspire/extra/index.cgi?EntryType=Paper&username=70535&password=954420

Changes will not appear at the preliminary preview (the first link) right away, but rest assured any changes that you make using the editing interface will appear in the preliminary program the next time we update the website (usually within a day or two).

Cancellation Deadline

This is a reminder that the deadline to cancel your presentation without risk of penalty is May 1.

ESA is unable to provide financial support to speakers. If you cannot travel to present in person, you should cancel this abstract before May 1. We encourage you to cancel by May 1 or plan for an alternate presenter if there is strong uncertainty about your attendance. If you become aware that you will be unable to attend after May 1, we encourage you to find a substitute presenter if possible.

If you cancel after May 1, it causes gaps in the final program, which are a serious disruption for attendees. For this reason, you may be subject to the penalty listed in the original call for abstracts, which is a $50 penalty for late cancellations.

There is a potential one year presentation ban for no shows (failing to appear for your scheduled presentation at the meeting, without any notice provided). For more information, visit: https://esa.org/neworleans/cancellations/

Please notify Jennifer Riem (jennifer@esa.org) as soon as possible if you need to cancel your presentation.

One Presentation Rule

In order to broaden participation, you may give only ONE presentation (any talk or poster that includes an abstract) at the meeting unless one of your presentations is primarily about education or outreach. Inspire ESA presentations are exempt from this rule for 2018.

Meeting Registration

All speakers must register to attend the meeting. Submitting an abstract does not register you for the meeting. Registration is not waived or reduced for speakers. Meeting registration and housing are now available through the meeting website: https://esa.org/neworleans.

One of the benefits of ESA membership is lower registration rates for the Annual Meeting.

Please email Maya Sohn (registrar@esa.org) with any specific questions about registration.

There are many lessons to be learned from fairy tales. In this Inspire talk we’ll revisit such classics as Hansel and Gretel and Jack and the Beanstalk to talk about effective data preservation. What can Hansel and Gretel’s trail of breadcrumbs through the forest teach us about retracing our steps in our own research? How can Alice in Wonderland’s White Rabbit and Cinderella’s glass slipper serve as cautionary tales about data preservation for the research community? Join us for some tips, tricks, pros, and cons of effective data preservation.

@mbjones You are not slated for an ignite in this session (led by Steph H and I). Can you take this?

Edited the Abstract Title: The Case for Metadata In research, things don't always go as planned. But good metadata practices can help you counteract, and keep track of, your project's unexpected moments. Come learn about the importance of metadata and discover ways you can benefit from maintaining it. With good metadata, if you put in the effort, you can reap the reward.
