Keynote: JISC managing research data programme (Simon Hodgson)

Some programs links:

Managing Research Data Trusted Cloud Infrastructure

challenges

• data deluge
• put also opportunities, eg data reuse

drivers of the jisc mrd programme

• cordis "riding the wave" cordis report
• RCUK Principles on data policies RCUK data policies
• UK funding agencies NERC ESRC require "data value checklist", + 10 year mandatory storage
• Similar to german guidelines Principles for the handling of research data

results / lessons learnt

Source JISC Data Centres Report (link not caught)

• needs
  • closer cooperation
  • better training of staff
  • improved practise. ie: before the data is captured/archived ("upstream")

• outputs and results of the MRD program
  • support data lifecycle
    • circle plan, create (store, annotate), use, appraise (discard, select), publish (identify, describe, discover (access), reuse
    • reused some work of national library of australia ("data verbs").
  • leadership and policy development
  • develop benefits for all stakeholders, (phd student, individul research, research team (eg, do we still have the data when a team-member leaves), university, supra-university
  • need for bottom-up approach, lessons from the [1] Incremental project of Cambridge/Glasgow universities
  • five training projects on specific areas (keywords for later search: mantra
  • DCC how-to guides on data management
  • madam project (madam) helps guide project planning for funding applications (see drives above, requirement for DMP Data Management Plan).
  • social science research data dmp project by uk data archive
  • Data Management Recommendations from same source
  • data management costing tool
  • Erim engineering research. specifically looking at engineering mapping datasets (developed cooperatively).
  • sample project in biology fishnet online like AWOB for freshwater biologists
  • Miss (transitional project from Madam, see above) miss website
  • citation mechanisms. Datacite initiative with British Library. whatisdatacite (aligns with doi)
  • Dryad repository. Aligns with Open Access journals initiatives, for holding biochemical data. Takes portion of Gold OA fee for longterm archival. Dryad Estimate costs of archiving, $25-75 per article
  • incentivise long-term archival. Research to show that publically available research data increases citation rate (v. important for sciences, of course) useful blog by a researcher in this area
