15. Policy

16. INCREMENTAL Project Institutional perspective Creating & organising data Storage and access Back-up Preservation Sharing and re-use The majority of people felt that some form of policy or guidance was needed....

18. While many researchers are positive about sharing data in principle, they are almost universally reluctant in practice...... using these data to publish results before anyone else is the primary way of gaining prestige in nearly all disciplines. INCREMENTAL Project Data sharing was more readily discussed by early career researchers.

22. Policy Gaps... Is Policy disconnected from Practice? –Data Sharing –Data Licensing –Ethics and Privacy –Citizen Science & Public Engagement –Data Storage, Selection & Appraisal –Data Citation and Attribution

23. Departments dont have guidelines or norms for personal back-up and researcher procedure, knowledge and diligence varies tremendously. Many have experienced moderate to catastrophic data loss Incremental Project Report, June 2010 http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattimattila/3003324844/
