Experiences with reviewing data management plans - an LCRDM survey

Deze dataset bevat de resultaten van een survey over het reviewen van datamanagementplannen (DMPs). Het survey is uitgevoerd door de werkgroep Onderzoeksondersteuning en Advies van het Landelijk Coördinatiepunt Research Data Management (LCRDM). Zestig respondenten deelden hun ervaringen en feedback op DMPs via deze survey. De dataset bevat een beknopt rapport, de surveyvragen en de geanonimiseerde data

The Dawning of the Dutch Network of Digital Academic REpositories (DARE): A Shared Experience

The SURF Programme Digital Academic Repositories (DARE) is a joint initiative of Dutch universities to make their academic output digitally accessible. The KB (National Library of the Netherlands), the KNAW (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) and the NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) also cooperate in this unique programme. DARE is being coordinated by the SURF Foundation [1]. The programme will run from January 2003 until December 2006

Description of the Cream of Science Project, a highlight of the DARE Programme which generated a Web site offering open access to almost 25,000 publications by 207 prominent scholars across the Netherlands

7. Interviews and Case Studies

Research Data Management (RDM) professionals, librarians, funders and even university boards around the globe are convinced that good data management practices benefit researchers and science. But what do the researchers have to say about this? At two Dutch universities, RDM teams took the initiative to go and ask. As a result, they didn’t only successfully engage with the scientific community, but they also helped researchers to raise their professional profile, to act as RDM ambassadors and..

Motivations for Sharing Research Data at Delft University of Technology.

This dataset tallies researcher responses to a question on why they would be motivated to share their research data. Each researcher was asked to tick four of the motivations. The first 19 motivations were taken from 'If We Share Data, Will Anyone Use Them? Data Sharing and Reuse in the Long Tail of Science and Technology'. The additional motivations were added by some of the researchers

Policy needs to go hand in hand with practice: The learning and listening approach to data management

In this paper, we explain our strategy for developing research data management policies at TU Delft. Policies can be important drivers for research institutions in the implementation of good data management practices. As Rans and Jones note (Rans and Jones 2013), " Policies provide clarity of purpose and may help in the framing of roles, responsibilities and requisite actions. They also legitimise making the case for investment”. However, policy development often tends to place the researchers in a passive position, while they are the ones managing research data on a daily basis. Therefore, at TU Delft, we have taken an alternative approach: a policy needs to go hand in hand with practice. The policy development was initiated by the Research Data Services at TU Delft Library, but as the process continued, other stakeholders, such as legal and IT departments, got involved. Finally, the faculty-based Data Stewards have played a key role in leading the consultations with the research community that led to the development of the faculty-specific policies. This allows for disciplinary differences to be reflected in the policies and to create a closer connection between policies and day-to-day research practice. Our primary intention was to keep researchers and research practices at the centre of our strategy for data management. We did not want to introduce and mandate requirements before adequate infrastructure and professional support were available to our research community and before our researchers were themselves willing to discuss formalisation of data management practices. This paper describes the key steps taken and the most important decisions made during the development of RDM policies at TU Delft.Management SupportResearch Data ServicesManagement SupportManagement Support3mE GeneralLibrary Policy and Relations Coordinatio

Engaging Researchers with Data Management

Effective Research Data Management (RDM) is a key component of research integrity and reproducible research, and its importance is increasingly emphasised by funding bodies, governments, and research institutions around the world. However, many researchers are unfamiliar with RDM best practices, and research support staff are faced with the diffi cult task of delivering support to researchers across diff erent disciplines and career stages. What strategies can institutions use to solve these problems? Engaging Researchers with Data Management is an invaluable collection of 24 case studies, drawn from institutions across the globe, that demonstrate clearly and practically how to engage the research community with RDM. These case studies together illustrate the variety of innovative strategies research institutions have developed to engage with their researchers about managing research data. Each study is presented concisely and clearly, highlighting the essential ingredients that led to its success and challenges encountered along the way. By interviewing key staff about their experiences and the organisational context, the authors of this book have created an essential resource for organisations looking to increase engagement with their research communities. This handbook is a collaboration by research institutions, for research institutions. It aims not only to inspire and engage, but also to help drive cultural change towards betier data management. It has been writien for anyone interested in RDM, or simply, good research practice
