Data Publishing & ManagementLearning Objectives: 1. Introduce the advantages of publishing your data, the steps involved and

how to publish to increase your research profile.2. To understand best practice in “data management” and how it underpins

efficient data publication.Sections:

Data publishing

Learning ObjectiveTo understand advantages of publishing your data, the steps involved and how to publish to increase your research profile.• Why publish?• What’s in it for you?• What’s the effort? - data publishing resources• TERN’s SHaRED – an example for ecologists

Survey on research data management 2012:• 63% aware of Australian Code of Conduct• 70% understand their data management responsibilities• 70% don’t do data management plans• 70% don’t keep a registry of research data collections

• 82% agree data should be available to other researchers• 81% would re-use another’s data• 29% supported public access to their data

Journals already mandate data publication in open data repositories

Ecology Letters says: “On submission of a paper, authors must confirm whether any of the data or content is already in the public domain (e.g., in a publicly accessible pre-print repository or report), and all relevant sources must be cited.”

Royal Society’s Open Biology says: “All manuscripts which report primary data (usually research articles) should include Data Accessibility section which states where the article's supporting data can be accessed…… Please read our data sharing policies carefully before submission.”

Granting bodies moving towards open access data publication

• NHMRC Open Access policy came into effect from 1 July 2012

http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants/policy/dissemination-research-findings

• ARC Open Access policy came into effect from 1 January 2013.

http://www.arc.gov.au/applicants/open_access.htm

“A11.5.2. Researchers and institutions have an obligation to care for and maintain research data in accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007). The ARC considers data management planning an important part of the responsible conduct of research and strongly encourages the depositing of data arising from a Project in an appropriate publically accessible subject and/or institutional repository. “

Data Publishing - Exercise1. Guiding principals for publishing reusable datasets.A plenary discussion to understand the qualities of a ‘publication ready’ dataset(s) in terms of: - ‘garbage in, garbage out’ - reusability and effort- attributes required for re-use - which attributes are essential for reuse
