Researchers face many obstacles when utilizing large datasets and computational research in their findings, including how to provide access to data and software used to create published results, and what metadata and tools should accompany digital published research.

Victoria Stodden, associate professor at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will tackle some of these challenges in her keynote address for the University Libraries' Open Access Week.

Stodden's talk, "Scholarly Communication in the Era of Big Data and Big Computation" will also outline how researchers can use reproducibility to frame a scholarly record that incorporates computational research.
