Proposal to JISC, May 2010 Proposal to JISC, May 2010 The project will be a partnership between Information Services, the Institute of Academic Development, the Graduate Schools of Social and Political Science and GeoSciences along with the Clinical and Health Psychology Professional Doctorate in the University of Edinburgh. Online learning materials in research data management will be created which are grounded in the best practice of the respective disciplines, provide examples based on video interviews of senior researchers, and provide interactive components for postgraduate students, including data handling exercises in four software analysis packages. The resulting materials will be embedded in the three participating postgraduate programmes, ported into a University VLE for use by all postgraduate and early career researchers and deposited with an open license in JorumOpen.
How did we get here?
Data Library & consultancy Data Library & consultancy Edinburgh DataShare JISC-funded projects - DISC-UK DataShare (2007-2009)
- Data Audit Framework Implementation (2008)
- Research Data MANTRA (2010-2011)
finding… finding… accessing … using … teaching … managing
Fear of errors found by users Fear of ‘scooping’ Poor documentation Lack of incentives / reward
Storage provision often insufficient Storage provision often insufficient Long retention periods needed for high value data Ad-hoc practices; no formal data mgmt plans Lack of standardised procedures in creating and storing data Minimal metadata; much effort expended in finding extant data on servers
Develop online guidance Develop training Develop university policy Develop services & support for research data management (in partnership with rest of IS)
Online suite of web pages for IS website developed in 2009 (will be revamped this summer) http://www.ed.ac.uk/is/data-management
What are the key features of the MANTRA project and online course? What are the key features of the MANTRA project and online course?
Creation of open online learning materials in RDM for postgrads and early career researchers Grounded in three disciplines, working with graduate schools Video stories from researchers in variety of settings Data handling exercises in four data analysis environments: R, SPSS, NVIVO and ArcGIS

What have the challenges been? What have the challenges been? How will we know if we succeeded?
Time (nobody allocated more than 20%) Time (nobody allocated more than 20%) Authoring content – not an easy task Needs assessment – what do they really want? Setting up Xerte on server (security issues)
Getting software practicals commissioned, reviewed Getting software practicals commissioned, reviewed User testing – book token bribes Video interviews – preparation & editing Putting it all together – delivery, packaging up How to evaluate?
1. The commitment of academic staff to the project 2. Positive feedback from user testing 3. Increased advocacy and awareness of research data management best practice across the University. 4. Evidence that the course is useful and used in other contexts outwith the University of Edinburgh.

Research data will be managed to the highest standards throughout the research data lifecycle as part of the University’s commitment to research excellence Research data will be managed to the highest standards throughout the research data lifecycle as part of the University’s commitment to research excellence Responsibility for research data management through a sound research data management plan during any research project or programme lies primarily with Principal Investigators (PIs). All new research proposals [from date of adoption] must include research data management plans or protocols that explicitly address data capture, management, integrity, confidentiality, retention, sharing and publication. The University will provide training, support, advice and where appropriate guidelines and templates for the research data management and research data management plans. The University will provide mechanisms and services for storage, backup, registration, deposit and retention of research data assets in support of current and future access, during and after completion of research projects.
Any data which is retained elsewhere, for example in an international data service or domain repository should be registered with the University. Any data which is retained elsewhere, for example in an international data service or domain repository should be registered with the University. Research data management plans must ensure that research data are available for access and re-use where appropriate and under appropriate safeguards. The legitimate interests of the subjects of research data must be protected. Research data of future historical interest, and all research data that represent records of the University, including data that substantiate research findings, will be offered and assessed for deposit and retention in an appropriate national or international data service or domain repository, or a University repository. Exclusive rights to reuse or publish research data should not be handed over to commercial publishers or agents without retaining the rights to make the data openly available for re-use, unless this is a condition of funding.
