  • Research Data Australia – aims to capture and link to all elements of a grant in one place, the grant, related data and publications, collaborators & their affiliations, field of research codes, keywords. RDA is harvested by Trove and Google Scholar so anyone searching the web using any of the above elements should discover the RDA entry, therefore making them visible to further collaborators or scholars seeking information
  • At UWS – Library & Systems teams collaborated closely with Research and e-research offices and had high level buy in. Research Office identified possible datasets for sharing via grants database, identified a possible publication relating to data from the grant. PVC research personally emailed these researchers (about 50) encouraging them to participate and saying I would be in touch. Very successful take up rate very high. Grapevine worked its magic and others asked to participate. BAU – all of Library information sessions, add data discussions into all new research staff and student inductions. Continue working with stakeholders, united front more successful and ensures consistency of message. Saturate researchers via meetings, emails, presentations virtual and physical to communicate message and educate researchers. Relationship building critical to ensure success. Find a hook – data storage, security, archiving, sharing, collaborative opportunities, increase research impact etc. Ask concerns and have toolkit ready to answer them. Know your institution’s big picture – who to go to for assistance. Keep up to date. We are at very early planning stage with all UWS stakeholders to embed data discussions into all research processes ie alert button or question at inception of project to determine possible data requirements (storage in first instance) – similar alert if project is funded, and another at project reporting stages, including final report. These alerts will automatically trigger a message in ReDBox, our metadata store solution to notify the library of these requirements. The Library can pass on this information to other stakeholders as appropriate.

  • Road Blocks to Data SharingStakeholder Engagement (reasons given for not wanting to participate in projects)• Not yet finished with data (still analysing or publishing from it)• Not mine to share (belongs to grant team etc)• Collaborators don‟t want to share• Don‟t have time• Just don‟t want to!• Ethics prohibit it (see below )Ethics• Didn‟t ask participants if data could be shared (default on form is not to share)• People won‟t want to participate if I ask them to share
  • „Moving Forward‟ to BAULibrary as a key stakeholder• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure buy-in at all levels• Facilitate culture change through education and communication (address „ownership‟ issues)
  • CSIRO to embrace open access Hare, Julie. The Australian[Canberra, A.C.T] 11 July 2012: 31.THE CSIRO is making freely available 200,000 research papers dating back to the 1920s on its new, open-accessrepository. It is also creating a portal to contain most of the raw research data used by the organisation since itsinception."Its a massive job. We will eventually have 86 years of data in the repository," said Jon Curran, CSIROs generalmanager of communications."We are anticipating this is where the world of science is heading."The mood is there. And we know the more visible the work the more excitement and energy that is generated." …The CSIRO said it was negotiating with 200 journal and book publishers to establish copyright."Where we cant put the full text up, we are pointing to the publishers website," Mr Curran said.Given the size of the operation, it would be a gradual process until all the papers and data were uploaded."But we are removing the reasons why staff shouldnt put their work in our open-access repository. People can see thisis changing the way science operates," he said.
  • Geoscience Data JournalNew Wiley open access data journal“It is becoming increasingly important that the data which underpins key findings shouldbe made more available to allow for the further analysis and interpretation of thoseresults,” said Mike Davis, Vice President and Managing Director, Life Sciences Wiley.“The ability of researchers to create and collect often huge new data sets has beengrowing rapidly in parallel with options for their storage and retrieval in a wide range ofdata repositories. We are launching the Geoscience Data Journal in response to theseimportant developments.”http://au.wiley.com/WileyCDA/PressRelease/pressReleaseId-104139.html
  • Wikidata• http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikidataWikidata aims to create a free knowledge base about the world that can be read andedited by humans and machines alike. It will provide data in all the languages of theWikimedia projects, and allow for the central access to data in a similar vein asWikimedia Commons does for multimedia files.The goal of Wikidata is to create a common data repository.Project development March 2012 – March 2013
  • Thomson Reuters Unveils Data Citation Indexfor Discovering Global Data SetsFirst of Its Kind Data Citation Index Connects Researchers to Data Repositories around the WorldThis new research resource from Thomson Reuters creates a single source of discovery for scientific,social sciences and arts and humanities information by connecting foundational research within datarepositories around the world to related peer-reviewed literature in journals, books, and conferenceproceedings already indexed in the Web of Knowledge.The Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index, scheduled for release later this year, makes researchwithin the digital universe discoverable, citable and seamlessly linked to the article detailing theoutputs from the original investigation. Thomson Reuters has partnered with data repositories such(ANDS, harvesting RDA)"By linking publications in the Web of Science to the datasets on which they are based and enhancingthe discoverability of data through the Data Citation Index, Thomson Reuters is highlighting theimportance of research data in the scientific process."
