8. University of Oxford policy
Introduced July 2012
Preparing your research
material for the future
9. University of Oxford policy
The full policy can be viewed on the Research
Data Oxford website
Covers the information needed ‘to support or
validate a research project’s observations,
findings or outputs’
Research data should be:
Accurate, complete, identifiable,
retrievable, and securely stored
Able to be made available to others
Preparing your research
material for the future
10. University of Oxford policy
Research data should be retained for ‘as long as they
are of continuing value to the researcher and the wider
research community’ – but a minimum of three years
Specific requirements from funders take precedence
Researchers are responsible for:
Developing and documenting clear data management
procedures
Planning for the ongoing custodianship of their data
Ensuring legal, ethical, and funding body requirements are
met
Policy applies to University staff and doctoral students
Preparing your research
material for the future
11. Funders’ requirements
Funding bodies are taking an increasing
interest in what happens to research data
You may be required to make your data
publicly available at the end of a project
Many funders require a data management plan
as part of grant applications
RDO website provides a
summary of requirements
Preparing your research
material for the future
12. AHRC requirements
If digital outputs planned, a Technical Plan
must be submitted with funding application
Digital outputs must be available via an
‘appropriate repository’ for at least three years
after project

15. Why share material? Be a trailblazer!
A paradigm shift in how research outputs are
viewed is occurring
Data outputs are of increasing importance –
and are likely to become even more so
Major journals are increasingly
looking to publish datasets
alongside articles
Be at the forefront of an
important shift in the
academic world
Preparing your research

16. What to consider sharing
Newly digitized or transcribed material
Collected or structured material – e.g.
databases
Marked up texts or annotated
source materials
Newly generated material
Anything else with possible
reuse value

May apply to a whole collection, or to specific
aspects
Metadata is similar, but usually more structured
Conforms to set standards
Machine readable
