Digital Curation Centre ( )
- Founded in 2004- Three partners: Universities of Edinburgh
(lead), Glasgow and Bath- Main funder is JISC, with shorter-term funding
from various other sources
“Helping to build capacity, capability and skills in data management and curation across the UK’s higher education research community.”
- DCC Phase 3 Business Plan
What do we do?
• Offer guidance – helpdesk, briefing papers, how-to guides
• Run training & events– DC101, roadshow, RDMF, IDCC
• Develop tools – CARDIO, DAF, DRAMBORA, DMP Online
• Support the JISC – esp. via the Managing Research Data programmes

4. Q&A
UK Research Data Management
Three key trends:
- Economic factors- Increased openness and
sharing - Increasing requirements
(and scrutiny)
Economic factors
Open access to government data (ideological, UK government driven: private sector should be able to benefit from public resources)
6.9 The Research Councils expect the researchers they fund to deposit published articles or conference proceedings in an open access repository at or around the time of publication. But this practice is unevenly enforced. Therefore, as an immediate step, we have asked the Research Councils to ensure the researchers they fund fulfil the current requirements. Additionally, the Research Councils have now agreed to invest £2 million in the development, by 2013, of a UK ‘Gateway to Research’. In the first instance this will allow ready access to Research Council funded research information and related data but it will be designed so that it can also include research funded by others in due course. The Research Councils will work with their partners and users to ensure information is presented in a readily reusable form, using common formats and open standards.http://www.bis.gov.uk/assets/biscore/innovation/docs/i/11-1387-innovation-and-research-strategy-for-growth.pdf
Government pressure on RCs…
Institutional and funder perspectives- Research today is technology enabled and data intensive- Data as long-term asset; identify and preserve- The fragility and cost of digital data; curate to reuse and
preserve- Data sharing: research pooling, cross-disciplinary and global
partnering, new research from old, the wealth of knowledge- The cost of technology and human infrastructures- Pressure to show return on public investment of £3.5bn- Compliance with legislation and funder policies- The data deluge: volume and complexity, not just in HEIs- Financial and human consequences from lost data- The cost of administering unmanaged datasets
Increased openness and sharing
Surfing the TsunamiScience, 11 February 2011
“For science to effectively function, and for society to reap the full benefits from scientific endeavours, it is crucial that science data be made open”
Increasing policy req’ts & scrutiny
Policy
EPSRC expects all those institutions it fundsto develop a roadmap that aligns their policies and processes with EPSRC’s expectations by 1st May 2012;to be fully compliant with these expectations by 1st May 2015.Compliance will be monitored and non-compliance investigated.Failure to share research data could result in the imposition of sanctions.
RCUK Policy and Code of Conduct on the Governance of Good Research Conduct, 2008 (updated October 2011)UNACCEPTABLE RESEARCH CONDUCT includes mismanagement or inadequate preservation of data and/or primary materials, including failure to:
keep clear and accurate records of the research procedures followed and the results obtained, including interim results;
hold records securely in paper or electronic form;
make relevant primary data and research evidence accessible to others for reasonable periods after the completion of the research: data should normally be preserved and accessible for 10 yrs (in some cases 20 yrs or longer);
manage data according to the research funder’s data policy and all relevant legislation;
wherever possible, deposit data permanently within a national collection.
Responsibility for proper management and preservation of data and primary materials is shared between the researcher and the research organisation.

4. Q&A
i. Data Management Planning
DMP-related resources– “Dealing with Data” (Lyon, 2008)– Analysis of Funder Policies (Jones, 2009)– Checklist for a Data Management Plan
(Donnelly and Jones, 2009)– DMP Online (Donnelly, Richardson and
Pattenden-Fail, 2010-2012) – “How to Develop a Data Management and
Sharing Plan” (Jones, 2011) Edinburgh: Digital Curation Centre
– “Data Management Plans and Planning” (Donnelly, 2012) in Pryor (ed.) Managing Research Data, London: Facet
Links to all DCC resources via http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/data-management-plans
ii. DMP Online: features• Helps users meet requirements from multiple
‘masters’ (funders, publishers, institutions…)• Provides tailored guidance at point of need• Acts as a communication mechanism between
different stakeholder groups• Collateral benefit: raises awareness of RDM
issues and may be suitable as a training tool (new JISC projects exploring this)
DMP Online v3.0New features in v3.0 (March 2012)…
- Overlaying multiple templates for ‘hybrid’ DMPs- Template phases (e.g. pre- / during / post-project)- Granular read / write / share permissions- Customised institutional versions- API for systems interoperability- Shibboleth authentication- Multilingual support- Boilerplate text
ii. Policies and roadmaps
“EPSRC expects all those it funds to have developed a clear roadmap to align their
policies and processes with EPSRC’s expectations by 1st May 2012, and to be
fully compliant with these expectations by 1st May 2015.”
www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/Pages/default.aspx
Growing list of uni RDM policies
www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/policy-and-legal/institutional-data-policies
iii. DCC support for institutional RDM
Three main strands:
• Data management roadshows• Institutional Engagements• New guidance / case studies
Data Management roadshowsto allow every institution in the UK to prepare for
effective research data management, and understand more about how the DCC can help
www.dcc.ac.uk/events/data-management-roadshows
“The roadshow as a whole will feed into the
implementation plan we are developing following the
passing of our RDM policy”
“I was looking for a foundation in the issues for a librarian. Spot on!”

Institutional Engagements
With funding from HEFCE we’re:
• Working intensively with 18 HEIs to increase RDM capability– 60 days of effort per HEI drawn from a mix of DCC staff– Deploy DCC & external tools, approaches & best practice
• Support varies based on what each institution wants/needs
• Lessons & examples will be shared with the community
