Learning outcomes
At the end of this session you will be able to:
• Analyse the context within which RDM has
come to be seen as a key agenda
• Reflect upon the researcher perspective on
RDM
• Reflect on LIS roles within these
understandings
• Reflect on the role of LIS in RDM services

Activity 2.3.1 RCUK’s Common
Principles on Data Policy
• What implications do you see for LIS services
in the principles?
• What “legal, ethical and commercial
constraints on release of research data” can
you think of?
• What connections do you see between the
principles and the open access agenda as it
relates to publications?

Activity 2.3.2 Funders’ requirements
• Look at the summaries of funders’ data policies
and Data Management Plan requirements
maintained by the DCC:
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/policy-andlegal/overview-funders-data-policies and
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/datamanagement-plans/funders-requirements
• Look more closely at the EPSRC nine expectations
of organisations in receipt of their funding:

Activity 2.3.2 Funders’ requirements
• What implications do you see for your
institution?
• Discuss with colleagues which institutional
stakeholders in RDM need to know about
these conditions. Do you think they are
aware? How can they be made aware?

Institutional policy
Whyte and Tedds (2011) identify that institutional policy is
likely to:
• “Identify areas of responsibility for the institution and for
researchers
• Commit the university to develop appropriate guidelines,
training and support, including mechanisms and services
for storage and backup
• Support deployment of data repositories and/ or
mechanisms for registering metadata about research data
• Recognise that management and curation of research data
requires cooperation and coordination with research
funders, and with existing national and international
providers of data services and subject-based repositories”

policies is Haywood (2011),

data management policy
• Read a university RDM policy.
• Make some notes on the implications for LIS.
• Who owns the policy and how is it being
progressed?

Activity 2.3.4
• Does the diagram include all relevant forces –
what arrows would you add?
• In force field analysis arrows are of different
sizes to represent the different strength of
forces. How would you change the sizes of the
arrows here?
• How does the analysis vary if one thinks about
an institution or a particular department you
are familiar with?

Activity 2.3.5 Institutional stakeholders
• Which of the stakeholders discussed in the
slides do you feel you understand best?
• Discuss with colleagues, and see how well
collectively you understand the context LIS has
to work in.

Developing an institutional RDM
service
• Jones et al. (2013) provide an excellent
overview of the components of an
institutional RDM support service, available at
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/howguides/how-develop-rdm-services
• They include practical guidelines how each
component can be addressed including a
“summary of key actions”

• Study Jones et al. (2013)
• Which components of an RDM service do you
think the library would be involved in?
• Which other stakeholders have a stake in this
service?
