UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Key Messages q Each LERU university needs a Research Data Management Strategy q Researchers should have Research Data Management Plans q LERU universities need to bring stakeholders together q Benefits of ‘open data’ for sharing and re-use should be advocated and explored A Box of Useful Knowledge (Brougham Papers, UCL Library Services)
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Policy Development q Case Study on Policy development from UCL q Drivers q External funders q Need to inform researchers q Raise awareness of issues facing UCL researchers q Identifies roles and responsibilities q Data to be made open in the most open manner appropriate See www. lanecrothers. net/politicalprof/the-policycycle-and-our-frozen-politics/ q Researchers should have Data Management Plans q LERU slams lack of data policies – Research Europe
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Data q Open Data allows research data to be shared and re-used q Avoids costly duplication of research activity q Provides greater transparency in research activity q Potential to speed discovery of solutions to societal Grand Challenges, such as health care & environmental science q Can all research data be open? q Certain categories probably cannot q National security q Data protection q Commercial Funder requirements http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/File: Open_Data_stickers. jpg

UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Science – broad policy lines q 5 broad policy action lines (from public consultation, validated by stakeholders incl. Member States and endorsed in Digital Single Market): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Fostering and creating incentives for open science Removing barriers for open science Mainstreaming and further promoting open access policies Developing an open science cloud Embedding open science in society to make science more responsive to societal and economic expectations 15
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Science – top-level ambitions/1 q 4 top-level ambitions with regard to the use & management of research results and data: 1. Open Data: FAIR data sharing is the default for funding scientific research 2. Science cloud: All EU researchers are able to deposit, access and analyse European scientific data through the open science cloud, without leaving their desk 3. Altmetrics: The role of alternative metrics in replacing/complementing conventional indicators for research quality and impact (e. g. Journal Impact Factors and citation counts) 4. Changing business models for scientific publishing: All peer reviewed scientific publications are freely accessible 16
UCL LIBRARY SERVICES Open Science – top-level ambitions/2 q 4 top-level ambitions with regard to relations with research actors (researchers, institutions and funders): 1. Rewards: The European research career evaluation system fully acknowledges Open Science activities 2. Research Integrity: All publically funded research in the EU adheres to commonly agreed Open Science Standards of Research Integrity 3. Education and skills: All young scientists in Europe have the necessary skills and support to apply Open Science research routines and practices 4. Citizen Science: Citizen scientists significantly contribute and are recognised as valid knowledge producers of European science 17
