More advice from Newcastle University about the requirements on researchers with respect to various policies can be found at: Researchers in almost all disciplines now create data in digital form. The volume of data created is increasing relentlessly across all subjects. In part this is also due to new methods for doing research such as developments in eScience (computationally intensive science across networks), cyberscholarship (high-performance computing meets digital libraries to bring together vast quantities of material), or e-research (using information technology to support collaborative research). In particular, at Newcastle University, in genomics/bioinformatics in FMS Multiple forms of complex data could be re-interpreted and re-used in new research and for new collaborations if access to it was easy. Slide 13: Newcastle University perspective Newcastle University maintains a commitment to conventional discipline based research which represents the core research activities of academics and largely takes place in prominent focussed research groups within our three faculties. The University also supports multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research based on excellence within individual disciplines. Clearly Newcastle University's reputation for research excellence has significant academic and financial benefits, as shown by the 2010-11 figures on the slide. Slide 14: Newcastle University perspective #2 Newcastle University is making a strategic response to the national landscape and external drivers. Public funders are now mandating that research data produced through their funding are available openly for verification and re-use. To maintain EPSRC funding, Newcastle University was required to create a roadmap to compliance to their mandate on research data management by 1 May 2012 and will have to have in place mechanisms for actual compliance by 1 May 2015. RDM is of vital importance to Newcastle University, which aims through research impact ... to be a globally significant research University that performs high quality research across a wide range of disciplines and locations: Refer also to the Newcastle University mission statement: Slide 15: Newcastle University perspective #3 The Iridium project was a significant intra-institutional collaboration, producing RDM policies in consultation with researchers along with the infrastructure required to support their adoption and use. It was funded by Jisc. Documentation and support is accessed via:
