  1. Research Data Management at CSU

  2. Some background • The Commonwealth Government funded a national initiative to bring about culture change around management of research data. • Led to the formation of ANDS* which is about facilitation, networking, sharing information and knowledge. (*Australian National Data Service) • All Australian Universities and CSIRO are involved

  3. Research data management at CSU • RDM Policy passed at Senate in April • Developing implementation guidelines • Looking at RDM plans, toolkits, infrastructure requirements to assist with compliance http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/data-management-plans • The Library, DIT and Research Office are working together but an important component is input from researchers • Overall – working towards best practice

  4. ARC Grants from 2014 • From 2014 ARC (and NHMRC) suggest that an RDM plan is included with the grant application • From the ARC site: • “Outline plans for the management of data produced as a result of the proposed research, including but not limited to storage, access and re-use arrangements“

  5. Research Data Management Plan • From the Digital Curation Centre Checklist: • Describing the research and the researchers • Ethical and IP issues • Collecting the data • Documentation and metadata • Storage and backup • Selection and preservation • Potential data sharing

  6. Current situation (early days) - Roles • DIT – questions about storage, archiving, security of the data, sharing working data. Ask the Service Desk and specify that it is research • Research Office – support for grant applications. Robyn Kirk (Eresearch Coordinator) will assist with the RDM plan at this stage. • Library – questions about describing the dataset also overseeing writing the implementation guidelines. Contact Karin Smith

  7. ARC Publications must be Open Access • ARC requirement for publications resulting from grants since 2012: Bibliographic description AND grant number must be in CRO The article must be open access if possible. No requirement to pay for Open Access but must explain in the report why it is not OA.
