DANS promotes sustained access to digital research data. For this, DANS encourages scientific researchers to

archive and reuse data in a sustained form, for instance via the Australian National Data Service (ANDS)

What is Research Data?

Data? What data?

http://cdn.list25.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Slide173.jpg

What do we mean by research data?

“It is not possible to apply a uniform definition of research

data across all disciplines. Research data may be

numerical, textual, audio-visual, digital or physical,

depending on the discipline and the nature of the

research.”

The Data Deluge

“Data is more like soup –

it’s messy and you don’t

know what’s in it.” – Liz Lyon (UK DCC)

“I worry there won't be enough people around to

do the analysis.”

–Chris Ponting (University of Oxford UK, Computational biologist)

“A single DNA sequencer can now

generate in a day what it took 10 years

to collect for the Human Genome

Project. Computers are central to

archiving and analysing this

information, but their processing power

isn’t increasing fast enough, and their

costs are decreasing too slowly, to

keep up with the deluge.”

- Elizabeth Pennisi (Science Author)

Why should YOU care about research data?

Research Data Management 101

Research Lifecycle – incorporating research data management

Benefits of Research Data Management

• Meets Compliance

• Promotes Efficiency

• Ensures Security

• Allows Access

• Improves Quality

Security

– Risk. Where is your data?

– Safeguards against data loss.

– Ensures confidentiality and

ethical compliance.

– Guarantees legal compliance

to intellectual property rights

such as copyright.

Why protect your data?

OECD cares about research data

Access to research data increases the returns from public investment in this area; reinforces open scientific inquiry; encourages diversity of studies and opinion; promotes new areas of work and enables the exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators. (OECD principles and guidelines for access to research data from public funding 2007)

http://www.oecd.org/sti/sci-tech/oecdprinciplesandguidelinesforaccesstoresearchdatafrompublicfunding.htm

Governments care about research data

The Australian Government now declares that, in order to promote greater participation in Australia’s democracy, it is committed to open government based on a culture of engagement, built on better access to and use of government held information, and sustained by the innovative use of technology. Declaration of Open Government

Governments care about research data

“Open access to information held by the State Government will help

stimulate the development of new, innovative applications by all sorts of

private individuals, companies and non-government organisations”

– Campbell Newman 9 Oct 2012 http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2012/10/9/queensland-

FUNDERS care about research data

Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (NHMRC, 2007) Section 2: Management of Research Data & Primary Materials

“The responsible conduct of research includes the proper management and retention of the research data. …The central aim is that sufficient materials and data are retained to justify the outcomes of the research and to defend them if they are challenged. The potential value of the material for further research should also be considered, particularly where the research would be difficult or impossible to repeat.” https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/guidelines/publications/r39

ARC Discovery Grant requirements, February 2014:

MANAGEMENT OF DATA

Outline plans for the management of

data produced as a result of the

proposed research, including but not

limited to storage, access and re-use

arrangements.

FUNDERS care about research data

The Public Library of Science PLOS Data Sharing policy:

PLOS journals require authors to make all data underlying the findings

described in their manuscript fully available without restriction, with

rare exception.

From March 2014, you will need to include a “data availability statement”

when you submit your article, explaining where and how your data can be

accessed.

PUBLISHERS care about research data

http://www.plosone.org/static/policies#sharing

Nature

“An inherent principle of publication is that others should be able to replicate and build upon the authors' published claims. Therefore, a condition of publication in a Nature journal is that authors are required to make materials, data and associated protocols promptly available to readers without undue qualifications”.

http://www.nature.com/authors/policies/availability.html

British Journal of Educational Technology

“BJET strongly encourages authors of articles

describing empirical research to make their data available to others, for example

through an institutional or other repository. If this is not possible then it will not necessarily preclude publication in the Journal, but you should note that it is one of the criteria by which your work will be assessed.”.

UWA Code of Conduct for the Responsible Practice of Research

http://www.research.uwa.edu.au/staff/research-policy/guidelines

Section 2 refers to the management of research data and primary materials and states:

2.1 Data (including electronic data) must be recorded in a durable and appropriately referenced form. 2.2 Data must be held for sufficient time to allow access and reference. Recommended a minimum 5 years from date publication, but up to 15 years for specific types (eg clinical studies) 2.3 Wherever possible, original data must be retained in the school or research centre in which it was generated... In all cases, prior to the publication of research findings a Location of Data Form must be completed.

These guidelines should be seen as a framework for sound research practice and for the protection of individual research workers, including both staff and postgraduate research students, from possible misunderstandings.

Allows for data

replication or

reproducibility.

Increases the accuracy

or reliability of the data.

Ensures research data

integrity.

Improves research process.

Encourages systematic

documentation and

descriptions of the research

Provides guidelines and

procedures ensuring

consistency.

Allows data validation and verification.

Enables collaborative research

opportunities.

Prevents duplication.

Allows data sharing and future reuse.

Increases researcher citations.

DATA REUSE and Open Data Citation

advantages

The citation benefit intensified over time...

...with publications from 2004 and 2005 cited 30 per cent more often if their data was freely available.

Every 100 papers with open data prompted 150 "data reuse papers" within five years

Original authors tended to use their data for only two years, but others re-used it for up to six years.

• All data and associated information created in the course of

conducting research is subject to the UWA Policy on Records

Management.

• All research records must be retained in accordance with the WA

University Sector Disposal Authority.

• Retention periods range from a minimum of 7 years to

permanent depending on the significance and type of research.

• Information can be kept longer if required but must not be

destroyed before the required minimum retention period.

HDR student query

I have been using iVec

(Pawsey) to work on my data

with my collaborators

overseas.

When I’m finished, to meet

WAUSDA requirements, can I

store it there for a minimum

of 7 years?

Our response

No, Pawsey doesn’t comply

with WAUSDA standards.

• Continue to use Pawsey to

work on your data.

• Be aware that Pawsey is

funding dependent.

• They do not provide a long-

term storage solution.

• The IRDS is more suitable to

meet the long term storage

needs/requirements of UWA

researchers

HDR student query

Can I use Dropbox to transfer

confidential data from

international companies for

my research at UWA?

• Confidentiality?

• Is encryption ok?

• Other cloud storage options?

Our response

Technically, yes, but should

• Contracts/Agreements with data

providers?

• Seek advice from Legal Services

• No charge for < 2GB ; but

>2GB=$$

• Allows access to collaborators.

• Confidential data may not be

safe. The data is being stored

overseas.

• Not managed, maintained or

stored by UWA.

Our response

IRDS would be an excellent

choice

• Data is stored locally.

• The IRDS maintained and

supported by UWA (Service

Desk Support 24/7)

• Encouraged for long-term

storage and can be used to

comply with WAUSDA.

– “Research records must be

retained for a minimum of 7

years after the date of

publication or project

completion, whichever is later.”
