References section and examples

I find examples work well in consults when discussing file formats. It could be a bit of work but considering adding examples in OC for each of the preferred format types (and also let readers know you're including them somewhere in the text)

Update References section to includes all the accessibility links Kelly included as well as the OER Toolkit links if you include my suggested text for an accessiblity section. Also, confirm that Research data link is still relevant if haven't already.

will work on

should I just hyperlink examples directly to the bullet point list (might look a bit strange if the entire list is hyperlinked but maybe the cleanest looking option?) with something like "click on a preferred file format to be directed to an example in Open Collections"

I was just thinking after each example you could just put "See example in Open Collections". Alternatively, you could create a list of examples of file formats in a separate section. Maybe try one or two and see if you like it? And abandon the idea if you don't think it helps?

The Research data link (in the wiki body text, not the Reference list) does not seem to be very relevant as it is essentially just another Preferred File Formats page - and their preferred formats differ from ours. The only additional information is that it discusses proprietary vs open formats.

I actually think the entire Data Files section is irrelevant and should be removed. As we've already run into this with the Supplementary/Supporting materials, people wouldn't really be submitting their research data to cIRcle. I think our file format wiki should only provide information on the types of projects we'd accept to avoid confusion.

Maybe there's some confusion or I'm misunderstanding. We do accept Data Files. The document I provided to you regarding the supplementary materials issue explains when you would use cIRcle for data v. Dataverse https://wiki.ubc.ca/images/7/7a/CIRcleDataverse_Data_Guidelines_2.0.pdf We actually have a standing task, you and I, to build that into a wiki. If we do that, we can link it to the Data section so it's more relevant but if I'm missing the point, let me know:)

Nope, you are correct and I misunderstood! (was in ETD-brain rather than all of cIRcle)

re: Research data link - I think this is still relevant because it covers more about open and proprietary file formats. So I think this is a good directional link for data file submitters as I assume we'd want to point them to the RDM site which will have more specific info than what our general format guide offers.
