The Awesome:
Establish a lab or departmental wide Data Management Policy…
Use it for research.
And teach it to undergrads.

The Obvious (but good to include):
• Note file naming conventions.• Note file storage and organization practices. • Provide abundant comments in source
code.• Document programs (formats & versions)
used in the creation of game files and assets.
• Set up a mailing list and use it.
Draft Recommendations

• Retention and extraction policies for cloud services.
• More case studies.
• Tool development.
• Copyright clarity for non-traditional scholarly works.
• No unified scholarly communication practices around games, or digital objects in general.
But we’re working on it!!!
Future Research
NEH, NEA & NSF signed an MOU to support media research!
