UC Research Development Network MeetingUC Irvine, 25-26 February 2012
Ensuring the viability, sharing, and use of the University’s digital assets across time and space
Innovative curation services for preservation of, and access to, research outputs► Preservation enables access over time► Access is dependent upon preservation
up to a point in time
Applicable throughout the scholarlylifecycle
Open source, open data Community-driven

Better data management leads to …► More data sharing► More data reuse► Better ROI► Better scholarship► Better impact factor
UC conducts one-twelfth of allUS university research and development► $4.7 B out of $48.6 B in 2010
Why is research data management important?
See, for example, Piwowar, Carison, and Vision (2011), Proc. ASIS&T 48(1): 1-4 doi.wiley.com/10.1002/meet.2011.14504801337

What are “metadata”?
Are there standards or best practices I should be
aware of?
How much will it cost? Why should I care
about preservation? I just need a place to
put my data.Where can I get help?
How can I share my work with my colleagues?
How can I publish the data associated with
my publications?
How do I fulfill the data management requirements of my
grant?
How can I make sure I get credit ?
Can’t my work be included in the
Web of Science?
How can I provide access to my
work?
What keeps UC researchers up at night?
Engage with the research community early in the lifecycle Prioritize scarce resources in support of emerging initiatives Start small: provide simple tools and services that can evolve
into more complex and comprehensive solutions Deploy flexible infrastructure and services that can be used
in diverse ways Develop partnerships and collaborate now more than ever
