  1. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Identifying and removing barriers for sharing scientific data Laurents Sesink Laurents.sesink@dans.knaw.nl www.dans.knaw.nl

  2. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO DANS • an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), and is also supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). • since its establishment in 2005, DANS has been taking care of storage and continuous accessibility of research data in the social sciences and humanities.

  3. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Sections • Software Development Group (SDG) • Infrastructure Group (IG) • Data Group (DG)

  4. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Data Group (DG) • Electronic Archiving System (EASY) • Innovative projects (Persistent Identifier, Data Seal of Approval, Enhanced Publications) • Data Acquisition

  5. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Data Acquisition • Last 10 years there is a change in attitude towards the principle of sharing Research Data • Dutch government: OECD Principles and Guidelines for Access to Research Data from Public Funding • All scientific organizations: Berlin Declaration on Open Access

  6. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO A demand from researchers to re(use) data Digital data: • Easy to duplicate and distribute • New tools, techniques and methodologies can be used • Integration with other research data

  7. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Part of the scholarly communication process • To verify research • To discover research data for future potential (re)use

  8. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO • Governmental organizations, funders of research, universities, publishers, scientific data archives and researchers are implementing in different ways the policy of access to research data • In practice it appears that the depositing of research data is not imbedded in the scholarly workflow and ‘mental’ system of researchers, institutions, funders and policy makers.

  9. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Therefore it is important • To identify which stakeholders benefit by making research data available. • What kind of policies have they already developed? • Which instruments play an important role in these policies? • Which restraints do they encounter in practice?

  10. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Stakeholders • Data producers: • Data consumers: • Research data centers • Research funders and commissioners of research • Publishers • Organisations responsible for quality and assessment of research • Organisations responsible for technical infrastructures

  11. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Stakeholders meeting • End 2008 DANS and SURFfoundation organized a meeting with different stakeholders • SURFfoundation unites research universities, universities of applied sciences, and research institutions. All of these collaborate on innovative projects to improve the quality of higher education and research.

  12. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Attendees • Researchers: University of Twente, University of Amsterdam, University of Utrecht • Library: University of Leiden • Datacenters: Statistics Netherlands (CBS), DANS, 3TU datacentre • Government: Education, culture and science in the Netherlands

  13. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Attendees • Infrastructure: SURFfoundation • Research assessment: Academy of Arts and Sciences, Rathenau Institute • Research funder: The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) • Publisher: Amsterdam University Press

  14. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO What kind of policies have they already developed • Government • Contract for third parties (ARVODI) • Funding of preservation strategy (MIXED) • Funding organization • Infrastructure for depositing datasets (DANS) • Contracts • Research organizations (Universities) • Open Access policy for publications

  15. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO What kind of policies have they already developed • Publishers • Links to data from articles in journals • Data Availability Policy • The data centers • Acces, re(use) policy • Guidelines, consultancy

  16. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO What kind of policies have they already developed • Infrastructure organizations • Funding of initiatives to further develop the technical infrastructure (Enhanced Publications, blogs, wiki’s, social tagging) • Researchers • Reference to the data set • Data producer as co-author in a publication

  17. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Identify barriers • Researchers: • Lack of Scientific credits for sharing data • No place for Long Term Preservation in project proposals • Fear to share data • Lack of experience to make data reusable • Lack of time to deposit data • Data centers: • Policies to share data are not enough. Lack of practical regulations and clear responsibilities • No cost model

  18. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Identify barriers • Publishers: • Fragmented infrastructure for referencing to research data • Lack of policy and communication about Persistent Identifiers • Data centers don’t cover all scientific disciplines • Lack of interest from researchers to publish in DAP journals • High investment in infrastructure to add research data to publications • Long Term Preservation of Enhanced Publications

  19. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Recommandations • Research funders: • Make regulations to bring policy into practice. Define who’s role and responsibility it is to deposit data. • Include in project proposals funding for LTP • Research organizations (Universities): • Workflow for Open Access to Research data • Attention for data modelling, LTP issues in curriculum for students • Scientific credits not only for Publications but also for research data

  20. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Recommandations • Data centers: • Make the benefits for depositing data clear for researchers • There is a need for consultancy at the start of projects • Make contracts with research funders more clear • Regulations, procedures • Standardization of citation of data • Infrastructure organizations: • Bridge the cap between publications and research data

  21. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Developments • NWO: Workflow for funded projectproposals • Government: One stop portal for third parties. Research Information. Publications. Data • SURFFoundation: Tender for Enhanced publications • User requirements for the infrastructure • Universities: Regulations and workflow for depositing data • Data Steward Ship Group • Consultation for Researchers

  22. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Future Roadmap • Funding of LTP • Scientific credits

  23. DANS is an institute of KNAW and NWO Thank you!
