The Troms\u00f8 Repository of Language and Linguistics (TROLLing) is happy to announce the publication of the 100th dataset in the repository!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Congrats to Lukas S\u00f6nning from the University of Bamberg as the author of this special dataset in TROLLing! His dataset on the acquisition of two English vowel categories by German L2 learner (S\u00f6nning 2021) marks a further important milestone in the history of TROLLing. The dataset is part of a series of seven datasets<\/a> that Lukas S\u00f6nning has published in TROLLing to support his dissertation Phonological variation in German Learner English<\/em> (S\u00f6nning 2020) defended at the University of Bamberg.<\/p>\n

We are glad that more and more researchers are discovering TROLLing as a curated and trustworthy repository for sharing their data in way that is aligned with the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Wilkinson et al. 2016). Based on the Dataverse repository software, TROLLing was launched in 2014 and has ever since been operated by the University Library at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The establishment of the repository was initiated by professors Laura A. Janda and Tore Nesset, both working with Russian linguistics at UiT. Laura and Tore\u2019s mission was to provide linguists worldwide with a trustworthy, community-driven repository where they could share their research data, statistic code and other linguistic material and thus promote the transparency and reproducibility of linguistic studies. The repository is managed and curated by Helene N. Andreassen and Philipp Conzett, both Senior Subject Librarians for Linguistics at the UiT Library. TROLLing is a special collection within DataverseNO (https:\/\/dataverse.no\/<\/a>), which in 2020 was CoreTrustSeal certified as a sustainable and trustworthy repository.<\/p>\n

Though 100 datasets over a period of more than six years may not seem a lot, the increasingly steady influx of dataset submissions from both established researchers and junior newcomers that we have seen during the last year indicates that focus on transparency and reproducibility of linguistic research is gaining ground in the international scholarly community.<\/p>\n

Ever since the beginning, the curators of TROLLing have sought to learn from and contribute to the international discussion on good research data management. Since 2016 they have been active members of the Research Data Alliance Linguistic Data Interest Group, a community-based network which so far has worked out The Austin Principles of Data Citation in Linguistics (2018) and The Troms\u00f8 Recommendations for Citation of Research Data In Linguistics (2019). Several of its members have also contributed to the forthcoming Open Handbook of Linguistic Data Management.<\/p>\n

Alignment with international frameworks and best-practice recommendations is a key concern for TROLLing. Since 2018, TROLLing has been recognised as a CLARIN C Centre, and harvested by the CLARIN Virtual Language Observatory (VLO<\/a>). Being part of CLARIN<\/a>\/CLARINO<\/a>, TROLLing is participating in the Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC<\/a>), whose overall objective is to realise the social sciences and humanities\u2019 part of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC<\/a>). One of the outcomes of the SSHOC project will be a new domain-specific metadata schema for TROLLing and other Dataverse-based repositories. This will make TROLLing even more compliant with CLARIN and more aligned with the FAIR principles. Also TROLLing\u2019s participation in the FAIRsFAIR<\/a> project aims at improving the FAIRness of the repository. Another important item on our road map is to assess the sustainability of the business model of TROLLing and adapt it to future challenges.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank all our depositors and contributors and are looking forward to the next 100 datasets to be published in TROLLing!<\/p>\n
