Julie Goldman, BS, MLIS, is the Countway Research Data Services Librarian with the Harvard Library. Julie collaborates with members of the Harvard community on building a data services program that addresses all stages of the data lifecycle. At Countway Library, she works closely with an extensive network of professionals invested in data management and open science to develop and deliver services for students and researchers around the Longwood Medical Area. Check out the ongoing work and resources on the Harvard Biomedical Data Management Website.

Julie works with students and faculty researchers in the sciences interested in writing data management and sharing plans, and partners with them to plan for the management of their data throughout the lifecycle of their research project. She consults on research data management issues, and assists researchers with with citing and publishing their data. Julie is a certified Carpentries Instructor, involved in Open Access journal publishing, and experienced online course instructor. Through all this work, Julie promotes open science, reproducible workflows, and is interested in broadening scientific communication.

At Harvard, Julie is co-chair of the Longwood Medical Area Research Data Management Working Group, and a member of several working groups: Outreach & Training, Research Workflows & Metadata, Electronic Lab Notebooks, Data Management Plans, Harvard Biomedical Data Management Website. Julie is actively involved in various Responsible Conduct of Research training efforts, and ensures campus connectivity of efforts leading the University's response to the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.

As part of her daily work, Julie runs regular Research Data Management Seminars on many related topics, focused on training biomedical students, faculty, and staff on best practices for organizing, documenting, storing, and sharing research data. Additionally, Julie is a Carpentries Instructor, and has been advocating for the Carpentries and assisting with workshops across New England. 

Julie is the Managing Editor for the Journal of eScience Librarianship (JeSLIB). In this role she is responsible for thoroughly formatting accepted articles to the journal. JeSLIB is an open access, peer-reviewed journal advancing the theory and practice of librarianship focusing on services related to data-driven research in science, technology, engineering, math, social sciences, medicine, and public health. Julie contributes to the development of journal policies, communicates best practices for open access publishing, and oversees digital promotion. 

As Project Manager on a NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) Initiative for Resource Development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) for Research Education (Award Number R25LM012284; 2015-2018), Julie focused on content review, curriculum creation, videorecording, focus group leader, and Canvas course facilitator. The Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management course provided training to librarians, biomedical researchers, undergraduate and graduate biomedical students, and other interested individuals on recommended practices that facilitate the discoverability, access, integrity, reuse value, privacy, security, and long term preservation of biomedical research data. This MOOC was built upon and expands the training materials of the New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum (NECDMC), driven by collaboration between a variety of librarians, researchers and others, and provides a user-driven, self-paced, interactive online course. The course was open on Canvas from Janruary 2018 - January 2023. All course content and development materials are available on the project's Open Science Framework site.

Previously, Julie was eScience Coordinator with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region, at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. With the NNLM, her work focused on building research data education and resources for librarians in New England. Julie contributed to the development of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine: Data-Driven Discovery website, which was based on the previous popular website resource, The eScience Portal for Librarians (now decommissioned). She also developed a research case study for inclusion in the RDM training materials, NECDMC, which outlines data management issues related to animal research, electronic lab notebooks, and data/resource sharing. 

Julie earned her Masters in Library and Information Science from Simmons College and a Bachelor's of Science in Marine Biology from the University of New Hampshire. While at UNH, she studied Marine Protected Areas, Management Techniques and Policies while abroad in Turks and Caicos, completing multiple dives and coral reef surveys. She completed an aquarist internship at the Seacoast Science Center, preparing diets and feeding marine animals, including chain catsharks and lionfish.

She is a New England native, and currently lives in Boston with her partner and dog Rodney.
