➢ Scientific research data is seen as a key for solving future challenges:
➢ „The value of data lies in their use. Full and open access to scientific data should be adopted as the international norm for the exchange of scientific data derived from publicly funded research.“ - US National Research Council, 1997
➢ „Data is the new oil“ - Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda, 2013
➢ Resulting in formal requirements:➢ „A novelty in Horizon 2020 is the Open Research Data Pilot which aims
to improve and maximise access to and re-use of research data generated by projects.“ in: Guidelines on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data in Horizon 2020, European Commission, 2013
Why research data?

➢ „Universities and research institutes should play a major role in supporting an open data culture by:
➢ recognising data communication by their researchers as an important criterion for career progression and reward;
➢ developing a data strategy and their own capacity to curate their own knowledge resources and support the data needs of researchers;
➢ having open data as a default position, and only withholding access when it is optimal for realising a return on public investment.“

➢ „It is the responsibility of the institution to ensure that the researcher has access to the support and infrastructure necessary to make data available, whether that be external, e.g. through disciplinary data centres or internal, e.g. through institutional repositories. This support not only includes the infrastructure for the storage of data, but also training and guidance in best practice for data management and citation. Management play a crucial role in driving cultural change within the institution, articulating and reinforcing its orientation towards open access, both through incentivisation and enforcement, and ensuring that the value of open data is recognised.“

➢ A dedicated job position 'RDM coordinator' established in summer 2012; Initial task: to develop an institutional concept for RDM.
➢ Starting points: What types of research data are being produced at HU, what size they are, any archival/publishing practices in place, what support is needed? No answers yet.→
➢ Focus on organizational, sociocultural and legal aspects instead of just building a new technical infrastructure.
➢ Work so far:
➢ Survey on the current state and researchers needs (conducted in January – March 2013),
➢ Institutional RDM policy and accompanying guidelines (to be passed by the Academic Senate),
➢ Roadmap for RDM services based on gap analysis.
First steps at HU: a short review

14. The rules of good scientific practice at HU (passed in 2002) commit all researchers to preserve their primary data underlying scholarly publications for ten years. Do you take these rules into account?
'Good scientific practice' in practice

3%
Safeguarding good scientific practice(n=469)
Yes, data is preserved for at least ten years
Data is preserved only short after a project is completed
No, I didn't know of these rules
I am not familiar with the current state
No answer

Issues:
➢ Shorter than 10 years job contracts and research projects;
➢ Problematic notion of 'data' in arts & humanities;
➢ Esp. younger researchers not familiar with rules;
➢ Already archived elsewhere;
➢ Legal and ethical restrictions;
➢ Keeping competitive advantage.

➢ A journey of constant learning
➢ Bringing together different disciplines and stakeholders views
➢ Need to find the right balance: local setting vs global research questions, generic vs discipline-specific needs
➢ Researchers need pragmatic support in everyday life
➢ Without broad academic recognition, making research data publicly accessible is still an unpaid voluntary work
➢ Advocacy at all institutional levels needed to enable cultural change: from PhD students to administration offices
➢ HEIs and research institutions should share their experiences and join forces in providing RDM support more intensively
Lessons learned
