Vision and Policy

A shared state of play and set of directions in consultation and collaboration with key stakeholders, in particular ARMA, SCONUL, RLUK, RUGIT and UCISA.

DIRECTIONS FOR RDM in UK Universities M

•Start: September 2014•End: March 2015•Outputs: Workshop, http://bit.ly/1T4XG5lReport, http://bit.ly/1KqoUjI

•End Goals: A plan for the way ahead & a baseline for progress

Clear guidance on how to meet funder policies & engagement with Research Data Concordat Group on funder policy harmonisation and implementation.

Guidance on meeting Research Funder requirements

•Start: November 2014•End: September 2016•Outputs: Guide on meeting the EPSRC research data policy & case studies http://bit.ly/1Jtpfko

•End Goals: funder policies are easier to meet.

H

An agreed set of guidance for the case for RDM and costing information to support the business case in HEIs for research data management.

Business Case and Costing for RDM

•Start: July 2015•End: December 2016•End Goals: Defined value of RDM, business case template and costing tool for HEIs

H

HHigh priority MMedium priority

LLow priority CCompleted

Research Data Champions

•Start: X•End: X•Status: Deferred

L

Advocate researchers for RDM in a range of disciplines. To set out case studies to enhance understanding of how good DM enhances research practice. To ensure researcher for input into the development of R@R solutions.

Shared Services

To determine the need and scope of a shared service, underpinned by a clear RDM architecture. To then procure the development & delivery of a shared service for RDM.

Shared services in active RDM & storage

•Start: April 2015•End: December 2017•Blog: http://bit.ly/1IMKkn6•End Goals: HEIs can meet funder mandates easily and have a cost effective solution.

H

To work with institutions to determine the need and scope of shared solutions to meeting research data needs for curation and preservation

Shared services in the preservation & curation gap

•Start: January 2015•End: December 2017•Website: http://bit.ly/1IMKkn6

•End Goals: Shared service to meet preservation needs so HEIs have trusted long-term access to data.

Shared Services

HHigh priority MMedium priority

LLow priority CCompleted

To develop a shared service to make research data easier to discover and re-use - this aims to be a shared national catalogue of research data

UK Research Data Discovery Service

•Start: November 2014•End: December 2016•Website: http://bit.ly/1Iseikh

•End Goals: A shared service for research data to enhance re-use and impact of data; possibly part of the RDM shared service

H

To increase understanding of metrics & usage for RD, to develop a usage statistics service to enable UK HEIs to count data use, to contribute to incentives for sharing research data & to contribute to determining the point of use

Usage Statistics for Research Data

•Start: June 2015•End: November 2016•Blog: http://tinyurl.com/qcxfaao

•End Goals: a shared research data usage statistic service & common related standards

M

To build consensus and standardisation around a core metadata schema that applies across disciplines

Research Data Metadata

•Start: July 2015•End: December 2016•End Goals: a shared solution for non disciplinary specific RD metadata

M

To develop a registry of DMPs so that they can be interrogated for use cases  such as: planning data storage, planning costs; planning infrastructure,  fulfilling mandates etc.

Data Management Plan Online Registry

•Start: X•End: X•Status: Deferred

L

Advice and Guidance

Starting with a Lite approach -to develop an easy to access web presence of RDM advice and guidance & second phase to look a potential wider ‘one stop shop access’.

Research Data Hub

•Start: July 2015•End: November 2016•End Goals: Easy access to advice, tools and tips for HE stakeholders

H

HHigh priority MMedium priority

LLow priority CCompleted

To develop best practice on journal policies between publishers & other stakeholders. To make it easy for researchers to know how to follow policies and for journals to create RD policies

Journal Research Data Policies Registry

•Start: April 2015•End: September 2016•Website: http://bit.ly/1Ks8jhb

•End Goals: best practice toolkit and guidelines to drive policy expressions for authors and support staff

M

Community Innovation

HHigh priority MMedium priority

LLow priority CCompleted

To bring together key actors in the research data management arena to develop innovations for improving workflows, interoperability and new shared tools and services

Research Data Spring

•Start: November 2014•End: July 2016•Website: http://bit.ly/1LCrmEG

•End Goals: A range of interoperability issues improved, shared advice & in some cases tools for all HEIs.
