U.K.'s Economic and Social Research Council Research Data Policy Updated

The U.K.'s Economic and Social Research Council research data policy has been updated earlier in March this year.  This is clearly relevant to Australian researchers collaborating with researchers funded through the ESRC program.

"All data created or repurposed during the lifetime of an ESRC grant must be made available for re-use or archiving within three months of the end of the grant. Grant holders must provide metadata for resource discovery via the UK Data Service to maximise the discoverability of ESRC data assets."
