Data Publishing & Management Learning 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: A new era of data publishing, what it means for you and the role of data management Data publishing – your options and why does it matter Data publishing exercise Data management Data management exercise

Data publishing Learning Objective To 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 services TERN’s SHaRED – an example for ecologists

Survey on research data perceptions 2012 Data Management 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 Data Publishing 82% agree data should be available to other researchers 81% would re-use another’s data 29% supported public access to their data Data Management & Publishing

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 findings ARC Open Access policy came into effect from 1 January  “A 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. “
