This document discusses data publishing and management. It introduces the advantages of publishing research data, including increasing citations, recognition and meeting grant requirements. It outlines best practices for data management planning and provides examples of data publishing platforms like SHaRED. The document advises that major journals and funding bodies now require data publication in open repositories to promote open access and data sharing in science.
Publishing your data smyth
- 1. Data Publishing & Management Learning Objectives: 1. Introduce the advantages of publishing your data, the steps involved and how to publish to increase your research profile. 2. To understand best practice in “data management” and how it underpins efficient data publication. Sections: • 1410-1415 A new era of data publishing, what it means for you and the role of data management • 1415-1425 Data publishing – your options and why does it matter • 1425-1435 Data publishing exercise • 1435-1450 Data management • 1450-1500 Data management exercise
- 2. Data publishing Learning Objective To understand advantages of publishing your data, the steps involved and how to publish to increase your research profile. • Why publish? • What’s in it for you? • What’s the effort? - data publishing resources • TERN’s SHaRED – an example for ecologists
- 3. Data Management & Publishing Survey on research data management 2012: • 63% aware of Australian Code of Conduct • 70% understand their data management responsibilities • 70% don’t do data management plans • 70% don’t keep a registry of research data collections • 82% agree data should be available to other researchers • 81% would re-use another’s data • 29% supported public access to their data
- 4. An emerging international consensus International Council for Science (ICSU) 2 September 2014 Free of financial barriers • for any researcher to contribute to • for any user to access immediately on publication Made available without restriction on reuse for any purpose • subject to proper attribution Quality-assured and published in a timely manner Archived and made available in perpetuity
- 5. Journals already mandate data publication in open data repositories Ecology Letters says: “On submission of a paper, authors must confirm whether any of the data or content is already in the public domain (e.g., in a publicly accessible pre-print repository or report), and all relevant sources must be cited.” Royal Society’s Open Biology says: “All manuscripts which report primary data (usually research articles) should include Data Accessibility section which states where the article's supporting data can be accessed…… Please read our data sharing policies carefully before submission.”
- 6. Granting bodies moving towards open access data publication • NHMRC Open Access policy came into effect from 1 July 2012 http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants/policy/dissemination-research-findings • ARC Open Access policy came into effect from 1 January 2013. http://www.arc.gov.au/applicants/open_access.htm “A11.5.2. Researchers and institutions have an obligation to care for and maintain research data in accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007). The ARC considers data management planning an important part of the responsible conduct of research and strongly encourages the depositing of data arising from a Project in an appropriate publically accessible subject and/or institutional repository. “
- 7. Publishing data can raise your research profile Individual citations reciprocity recognition crowdsourcing more publishable units altruistic ethical science error identification multiple perspectives training new researchers meeting grant conditions increase research efficiencies

Editor's Notes
- #2: Why publish data? A refresher.
- #5: ICSU represented by 141 countries (Australian Academy of Sciences) met in Auckland last month to discuss the goals for the open access of scientific data. A consensus of four goals were recognised.
- #15: Key points: In the interest of balance, not all data should be shared and published. Patent application when disclosure should be avoided. Confidentiality to maintain privacy Confidentiality of commercial agreements Sensitive species Embargoed data
- #19: Key points: Thanks sponsors.
