11. Policy Framework on Research Data 2011 Principles and Expectations http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/Pages/policyfram ework.aspx Institutional Roadmaps

12. Alignment with EPSRC Expectations sition: Where we are now Objectives: Where we need to be Actions: How we’re going to get there Milestones: When it will be done by Roles and Responsibilities: Within the Institution EPSRC focus is on “the institution” http://www.bath.ac.uk/rdso/University-of-Bath-Roadmap-for-EPSRC.pdf

13. But…. …many funders’ focus is on “the PI” Data Management Plan DCC listing of funder DMP requirements http://www.dcc.ac.uk/sites/default/files/docu ments/resource/policy/FundersDataPlanReq s_v4%204.pdf

16. Data integrity: reputations on-the-line?

17. Institutional data publication services Data repository: curation Data catalogue: discovery Data citation: Amsterdam Manifesto, identifiers, DOIs, ORCID, data licences New actionable formats: data papers, data journals, + data peer review…. Data metrics: Altmetric ImpactStory

19. “ Data is the new currency for research,” said Alan Blatecky, the director of advanced cyberinfrastructure at the National Science Foundation. “The question is how do you address the cost issues, because there is no new money.” 1. Who pays?

20. Understanding the costs A rather grey area….. UK Research funder grants Direct costs (during lifetime of grant) Funder expectations Long-term RDM investment an institutional responsibility

21. 2. New roles are needed …data librarian, research data services manager, data scientist, technical data co-ordinator, data curator, data analyst, data steward, chief data officer....

22. Develop data capability in research support services http://immersiveinformatics.org / ImmersiveInformatics pilot Co-developed with University of Melbourne

23. 10 modules (OER) Day release Immersive data sessions in labs Co-curate dataset Keep “data diary” Evaluate pilot

24. 3. Advocacy and Incentives Researcher awareness is low Advocacy needed (like OA) Change behaviour to “open by default” (G8) Open data literacy (G8) RDM training: Research360 & Doctoral Training Centres Get credit for your data ?UK REF2020?

25. 9 simple ways to make data (re)use easier 1.Share your data 2.Provide metadata 3.Provide unprocessed (raw) form 4.Use standard data formats 5.Use good null values 6.Make it easy to combine (use common contextual data) 7.Perform basic quality control 8.Use an established repository (trust) 9.Use an established and open licence –Ethan P. White et al, Utah State University (2013) PeerJ, –(with a focus on ecology & evolutionary biology)
