  4. The RDM Lifecycle Slide borrowed with permission from Anthony Beitz, Monash University. Presented at OR 2012, Edinburgh Design Conceive

  5. Conceive and Design • Collaborative • Multiple Investigators, multiple institutions • Process driven • RCUK, EC, a.n.other funder all have processes that must be followed • Time limited • Calls come with deadlines and everyone leaves it until the last moment…

  6. Tools • Shared document development tools • E.g. Google Docs, Office 365 • Shared document/project management tools • Sharepoint – locally managed and normally connected to an Exchange system • Online • Teambox • Projecturf • Apollo • Basecamp • Huddle • Data Management Planning • DMPOnline

  7. Analyse Collaborate Experiment The RDM Lifecycle Analyse Collaborate Experiment

  8. Backup • What data you need to back-up? • Criteria? • How many versions you should retain? • Current, raw, processed? • How often you intend to backup? • After every change, daily, weekly, monthly? • How many copies you should retain and their location? • 2, 3, onsite, offsite? • How you intend storing backup data? • Media, online, cloud? • What software you will use to manage backups? • Operating system based, 3rd party, criteria to choose?

  9. Tools • Desktop Drive (USB) • RO Media • Online • ‘Institutional Dropbox’ • SkyDrive • iCloud • Dropbox • Humyo • Memopal • Mozy • ZumoDrive

  10. Data Security • The available skills and expertise required to ensure an adequate level of data security; • Risk assessment to determine the value of data • the level of confidentiality required • applicable statutory requirements • impact of unauthorised access to, or loss of, the data • steps required to provide appropriate data protection. • The prevention of unauthorised and malicious access to buildings and rooms where computers and other devices holding data may be housed. • How access to data is managed, authorised and logged. • How data is protected from loss or damage, for example by regular backups, implementing version control and installing anti-malware software. • The means to access data from both within Oxford and from outside the Oxford network; and the transmission of data from one computer to another (e.g. via email, ftp, Web server). • The storage and encryption of data taken offsite (whether, for example, on an external drive, laptop, mobile device). • The process to verify the deletion of confidential data (for example, when equipment is re-deployed or in line with a project's exit strategy)

  14. Sharing Your Data • Enables that data to be validated and tested, improving the scientific record. • Meets funding body requirements obliging award holders to share their data to avoid duplication of effort and to cut costs. • Is in the public interest, where research data has been publicly funded. • Can facilitate its rediscovery and its preservation as technology becomes obsolete. • Means that data can be reused for scientific and educational purposes.

  15. When should I consider not sharing my data? • There may be occasions when you should consider not sharing your data: • If your research data is potentially commercially valuable or exploitable by your employer. • If there are ethical issues, legal issues, time constraints and other issues which could limit data sharing opportunities, • If there are conditions of confidentiality (eg. through industrial sponsors) attached to the funding of your research. • Often, sensitive and confidential data can be shared ethically if informed consent for data sharing has been given, or by anonymising research data.
