ANDS  Purpose:  

To  make  Australia’s  research  data  assets  more  valuable  for  its  researchers,  research  ins@tu@ons  and  the  na@on.  

ANDS  enables  transforma&on  of:  

Data  that  are:  

  Unmanaged    Disconnected    Invisible    Single  use  

To  Structured  Collec=ons  that  are:  

 Managed   Connected        Findable   Reusable  

so  that  Australian  researchers  can  easily  publish,  discover,  access  and  use/re-­‐use  research  data.

Research data as an institutional asset

Publishers  Research  Institutions

The  University  understands  that  doing  so  [managing  research  data]  will  contribute  to    

           increased  research  impact,    

                     enhanced  research  prac=ce  (including  collabora=on)  and                                    improved  educa=onal  outcomes,    

all  of  which  add  value  to  the  ins&tu&on’s  educa&on  and  research  agenda.
