  1. ANDS Webinar Data Management: Policies and People 27 April 2012 Constance Wiebrands & Julia Gross Edith Cowan University

  2. Seeding the Commons (StC)at ECU

  3. Seeding the Commons at ECU Our objectives: • Describe twelve datasets • Design training for researchers • Draft a research data management policy

  4. StC Policy … what we did • Reviewed ECU policies that related to research data • Invited ECU research policy expert onto StC project team • Reviewed exemplar policies (Monash, QUT) • Attended Research Data Policy Seminar at Uni Sydney • Data Management Plan template drafted (examples UOW and QUT) • Data Management Plan template went to StC Steering Ctee for input

  5. StC Policy … what we learned • We needed to work within ECU policy framework • ECU had a policy, but not widely known among researchers • Still need to work on procedures and guidelines • Fleshing out the detail for researchers • Need a bottom up, and a top down approach

  6. StC People … what we did • Buy in from DVC (Research and Advancement) • Met individually with key players: • Director Research Office, Assoc Deans Research Faculties, Research Centres, IT, Records, Graduate School, Ethics, Training and Development • Communication • global email to all researchers • individual emails to targeted researchers • StC project webpage

  7. StC People … what we did • Committees • StC Steering Ctee. reps from key areas • Working group, reps from Library + Research Office • Met with researchers individually • Worked with Graduate Research School for Training • targeting online HRD Orientation program

  8. StC People … what we learned • Communication • need to be catchy, capture attention of researchers • message needs to be “what’s in it for me” • helps to include endorsement of a senior person … name dropping! • Researchers • are busy, need to follow up, persist, and sometimes work through a research project assistant or PA • Gained an understanding of difficulties of sharing data in some areas. • How to overcoming objections (eg Ethics and IP) • With research data one size does not fit all

  9. Data librarian position • ECU used ANDS funding to establish a research data position • Data librarian worked with the project team • During the project the research data librarian learned new skills, and • Gained an understanding of research data across disciplines • Conducted data interviews, working in pairs • Wrote up interview, project abstract etc • Learned how to create data records manually, using RIF-CS schema

  10. Data librarian position • Collaboration is key • Role crosses over many areas in the university • No one person can know everything • Need to discover where the expertise lies • within the organisation • outside the organisation … ANDS, eResearch community etc • Where to now? • Mainstreaming research data management

  11. This project is supported by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) ANDS is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy Program and the Education Investment Fund (EIF) Super Science Initiative
