COAR Research Data Management survey results

In September 2016, COAR (Confederation of Open Access Repositories) launched a Research Data Management (RDM) Interest Group to help the community expand their operations to support RDM. This group will provide a forum for discussion about managing research data, identify best practices and strategies, and support capacity building for RDM in the repository community.

RDM is wide ranging and there are already many organizations active in this area. The aim of COAR’s work is to promote and articulate the role of research institutions in providing access to research data and to help address the challenges of RDM for the repository community.

See the results of research data management survey, undertaken in December 2016

The COAR Research Data Management Interest Group has identified the following activities for 2016-2018:
  1. Webinars
  2. Develop an assessment framework to help institutions evaluate data repository systems
  3. Undertake a brief survey of RDM activities within the COAR membership
  4. Identify and link to key training material and resources
  5. Share collection policies for RDM in repositories
  6. Recommend metadata standards for research data sets
