JISC: supporting research integritySarah Porter
Infrastructure for research excellence
JISC provides infrastructure for research excellence
National strategically important infrastructure services for research such as the JANET network, data centres, repository infrastructure
Supporting universities to make effective and efficient use of technology – in research and in the management of research
Key themes: Increasing the impact and visibility of research
Increasing research competitiveness
Management of research information
Collaboration with business and the community
Improved management of research data.
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 2
Increasing the impact and visibility of research
Universities:Demonstrate the contribution they make to the knowledge economy
Improve their chances in the competition for government research funding
Position themselves well to work with business and community partners
JISC is a leader in the movement towards making research outputs more openly available and we believe:
An institution’s research reputation benefits when authors make their research papers freely available
More frequently cited than those solely available via subscription based journals
Open Access benefits the economy and society
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 3
For the Future:JISC is working with key stakeholders in a number of ways to
develop ways of making the transition to Open Access.
Convening the UK Open Access Implementation Group Resource summarising information and guidance for HEIs moving to
Open Access
Guidance for small learned societies in journal tendering, including Open Access options
Funded research into benefits of Open Access to the private, public and third sectors
Holds a continuing dialogue with publishers and key stakeholders
Extracting useful information across repositories
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 4
Increasing the impact and visibility of research
Increasing research competitiveness
Universities: Institutions must collaborate in order to remain competitive
We Believe:
Digital technologies enable researchers to collaborate
Access to very large data sets and enormous computing power allows researchers to tackle challenges that would otherwise be intractable.
For the future: JISC provides national strategically important digital infrastructure
services Virtual research environments
JISC provides national strategically important digital infrastructure services for research to keep UK institutions competitive in research.

Manage your research information - be ready for the REF
Universities:Research Excellence Framework. Demonstrate the contribution their research makes to the
economy and society Improve and reduce the burden of their data collectionDeploying new research information management systems
JISC has funded universities to demonstrate the benefits of using the Common European Research Information Format (CERIF)
–The cost of use can be more than offset by efficiency savings.

We Believe:
Research information is often scattered across an institution, in systems that often can’t talk to one another efficiently
A research information management system brings together information that is stored and managed in different systems
What we are doing:
JISC has been working with other agencies to define what needs to be done to improve research information management.
Developed extensive resources to help you implement a new system
For the future:
JISC leading on work to create a modular research information management system as a shared service (Spring 2012)
4 pilot JISC projects due to report shortly
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 7
Collaborate with business and the community
Universities:Deploying research expertise in collaborations with businesses and community organisations
Digital technologies can help institutions exploit their knowledge assets.
What we are doing
Tools to help institutions promote their research expertise online
Customer relationship management (CRM) tools
We believe:JISC’s extensive advice and guidance can help you choose the best approach and online tools
JISC can also help you manage the legal aspects of engagement with business and other external sectors
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 8
For the future:
JISC is funding innovative projects for institutions to lead local provision of integrated information services online
In summer 2012, JISC will provide a comprehensive Online CRM Handbook for HE and FE

Improve research data management
JISC believes that it is important to promote and support good research data management.
Why Universities should be thinking about improving research data management
Considerations for research integrity
Research Funder Policies
Freedom of Information / Environmental Information Regulations
Benefits of data reuse and improved research data management
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 10
Improve research data management
Challenges for institutions
How can institutions support researchers in responding to funder requirements
How can Universities develop and inculcate best practice?
What planning and management systems can be used to remove excessive burden from researchers?
Where and how should the data be stored?
What data should be retained and what discarded?
What security, ethical and privacy issues need to be considered?
09/04/2023 Wellcome Collection Conference Centre slide 11
What JISC is doing to help?
We have developed a significant number of online resources and continue to provide a range of front line support services.
JISC has made significant investment across three areas of activity:• Digital Curation Centre• Managing Research Data Programme• University Modernisation Fund Shared Services and the Cloud
Programme
How is JISC helping institutions?• Guidance materials and policy development• Training materials• Research data management planning• RDM Systems and Infrastructure
