Angus Whyte P-11 Berlin, 22 March 2018 Researchers perspectives- are they prepared to share & expose DMP content? Angus Whyte P-11 Berlin, 22 March 2018 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall Main points Most researchers don’t have to DMP, and many don’t even know what one is But some researchers want to DMP, and their priorities are more relevant support High % are prepared to share them Some already are… but Who? Why? Why not? What helps? Simms S, Jones S, Mietchen D, Miksa T (2017) Machine-actionable data management plans (maDMPs). Research Ideas and Outcomes 3: e13086. https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e13086 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall Let’s keep in mind Funders increasingly have policy expectation that investigators produce and/or submit a DMP But most funders do not require a DMP to be produced or submitted 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

Most researchers don’t DMP “Only 20% of respondents had prepared a data management plan” 2300 respondents to Springer Nature survey reported in Digital Science State of Open Data Report 2017 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

Some don’t know what a DMP is “Only a quarter of survey respondents have actually used a DMP ….while a quarter do not even know what a Data Management Plan is.” https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/pdf/os_skills_wgreport_final.pdf 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

On the other hand…more would like to “… one third has not used a DMP but would like to” Fig 2.6 Use of Data Management Plan 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

Good practice beats compliance as driver ? “The most common reasons for having a data management plan are that it constitutes good research practice (72%) and that it is required by the project funder (53%)” 1,185 researchers in 6 UK institutions Johnnson et al. 2016 Available: https://zenodo.org/record/177856#.WrAbMYLLiRt 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

Priorities of those who DMP imply sharing Relevant standards, examples, guidance for my discipline Integration Notification Publication OpenAIRE survey of European Commission H2020 DMP template users (n=289) 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

High % prepared to share Around half according to the same OpenAIRE survey 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

Some researchers already are sharing DMPs Journals – e.g. RIO Journal, BMC Research Notes Repositories- Zenodo EC pilot – to support open reviews DMPtool – public collection 28/04/2019 www.rd-alliance.org - @resdatall

DMP Sharing –similar benefits as for data? Public Funder Institution Team, Peers Visibility Reproducibility Accountability Efficacy Efficiency Quality Needs evidence- like data sharing all over again!

DMP Sharing –similar benefits as for data? Public Funder Institution Team, Peers We don’t actually know but aim to find out Needs evidence- like data sharing all over again!
