because good research needs good data I: What Do Funders Expect? Analysis of the major UK research funders data-related policies (Jones, 2009)... Major findings: Not all funders have data policies Some have different policies for different programs Requirements are expressed in different ways In a word, they re diverse... http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/policy-and-legal/overview-funders-data-policies 10th Digital Curation Centre Regional Roadshow: Northeast England
because good research needs good data I: RCUK Common Principles on Data Policy 7 principles agreed by all the UK research councils in May 2011 Emphasises publicly funded data as a public good, which should be made openly available Recognises that there are legal, ethical and commercial constraints on release of research data Ensures that researchers get due recognition for their research, while protecting their IP States that it is appropriate to use public funds to support the management and sharing of publicly-funded research data http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/Pages/DataPolicy.aspx 10th Digital Curation Centre Regional Roadshow: Northeast England
because good research needs good data I: Current Requirements The RCUK funders AHRC, BBSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC, & STFC all require some form of data management or sharing plan as part of a funding application. The requirements still vary widely, but they all have the RCUK Common Principles as their foundation. Non-RCUK the Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK also require data management or sharing plans in their grant applications http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/data-management-plans/funders-requirements 10th Digital Curation Centre Regional Roadshow: Northeast England
because good research needs good data I: EPSRC EPSRC does not require researchers to submit data management or sharing plans in grant applications. However, they do require research organisations to publish appropriately structured metadata online describing the research data they hold, normally within 12 months of the data being generated. It is expected that data will be made available in a timely and responsible manner. The EPSRC expects data to be maintained securely for 10+ years The deadline for institutions to meet this requirement is May 2015 10th Digital Curation Centre Regional Roadshow: Northeast England
because good research needs good data II: DMP Online What is it? A web-based tool that enables users to... Create, store and update multiple versions of Data Management Plans across the research lifecycle Meet a variety of specific data-related requirements (from funders, institutions, publishers, etc.) using carefully designed templates Get tailored guidance on best practice and helpful contacts, at the point of need Customise exports of DMPs in a variety of formats Share DMPs with others in order to facilitate communications within and beyond research projects It is based on the DMP Checklist first created in 2009 and maintained and revised ever since * N.B. The templates have varying degrees of endorsement from funders, stakeholder communities, etc. 10th Digital Curation Centre Regional Roadshow: Northeast England
because good research needs good data II: The DMP Checklist The checklist covers all of the following areas: 1: Introduction and Context 2: Data Types, Formats, Standards and Capture Methods 3: Ethics and Intellectual Property 4: Access, Data Sharing and Re-use 5: Short-Term Storage and Data Management 6: Deposit and Long-Term Preservation 7: Resourcing 8: Adherence and Review 9: Agreement/Ratification by Stakeholders 10: Annexes 10th Digital Curation Centre Regional Roadshow: Northeast England
