Seeding the Commons at ECU
Our objectives:
1. Describe twelve datasets
2. Design training for researchers
3. Draft a research data management policy
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
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
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
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
StC People … what we did
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
StC People … what we learned
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
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
