My biography

Dr Sarah Callaghan is Research Practice Manager at the University of Oxford, dedicated to supporting researchers through policy and training to ensure that the integrity of research is preserved, and that research excellence is underpinned by the principles of honesty, rigour, impartiality, collegiality, trust, transparency, and accountability

She was formerly Editor-in-Chief for Patterns - a gold open access, multidisciplinary journal of data science launched by Cell Press. She came to Patterns from a twenty-year career in creating, managing and analysing scientific data. Her research started as a combination of radio propagation engineering and meteorological modelling, then moved into data citation and publication, data sharing, visualisation, metadata, and data management for the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis. She was Editor-in-Chief of the Data Science Journal for 4 years, and has over 100 publications. In her first degree she taught a neural network the difference between Bach and Stravinsky. Her personal experience means she understands and sympathises with the frustrations that researchers can have with data!
