What type of data do you work with?
Why do we need to manage our data?

Changing Research Landscape
• Continuation of Open Access agenda• Calls for more transparency with data supporting publications• A greater recognition that research data can have many uses• Pressure for publically funded data to be available to all• Already the norm in some disciplines
![Page 4: Managing Your Research Data for Maximum Impact -Rob Daley 300616_Shared](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103105/58e75e731a28ab5b2a8b53ef/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Funders Policies
• Public funded data should be made openly available• Data with long-term value should be preserved, accessible and
usable• Sufficient metadata should be openly available for others to
understand the research and re-use the data. • Public results should include information on how to access the
supporting data.• Legal, ethical and commercial constraints are recognised. • Data creators/collectors may be entitled to privileged use for a
limited period.• Most want a DMP created alongside proposal.

Challenges for Researchers
• Resources– Time; Data Storage; Repositories; Money
• Knowledge and Understanding• Skills
– Planning, Technical, others
• Technical Support
• Non digital data
• Local expectations and culture?

ORCID and DOIs
ORCID
“ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.”• https://orcid.org/register
Digital Object IdentifiersA persistent identifier for the data, a doi, can be minted and used to reference the data - e.g. in a published paper.

What can you do to maximise the use and impact of your data?
• Ensure people know it exists!• Ensure it is easy to find and easy to access• Promote your research online (web, social media etc.)• Promote your research at conferences• Track when your research is being used and shared
