2 years ago PDS Management Response:
- The PDS has held many training events including opportunities / booths at planetary science conferences, invited talks, OpenPlanetary lunch series (Summer 2020), and data related conferences at LPSC, DPS, AGU, etc).. https://pds.nasa.gov/datastandards/training/.
- Peer reviewed PDS4 training is on-line, featuring text and video information related to PDS4 labeling, formatting, and includes videos.
- https://pds-gamma.jpl.nasa.gov/datastandards/training/ Note that this site is not yet on-line.
- Most if not all nodes host documentation related to peer-reviewer instructions e.g. https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/peerreview/reviewhelp.html, https://pds-smallbodies.astro.umd.edu/howto/review.shtml
- We will develop a peer-reviewed training module for peer-reviewers in a future module.
- The PDS now does perform peer-review of some training materials including on-line text and video. Several training products have been peer-reviewed, beginning in December 2020, though these products are not yet on-line.
Recommendation 23 NASA should provide regular, accessible, and effective training programs for researchers, data producers, mission specialists, and others who need to archive with the PDS. This should not just be provided by the PDS: entities with experience delivering to the PDS should also be involved. There should also be training for peer-review of data archives. We also recommend that this training and documentation address data preparation from the perspective of reusability and interoperability, such as the Earth Science Data Systems Working Group (ESDSWG) Data Product Development Guide (DPDG) for Data Producers.
