Abstract

These three presentations were delivered at an invitation-only Workshop for the consortium of Catalan University Libraries in Barcelona on 27 April 2015. The theme of the Workshop was: Establishing good practice in research data management in European universities. The Workshop was divided into three sections: (1) an explanation of the role of research data management in the research process and an identification that the ‘data deluge’ is pivotal in shaping the future of research practice. The presentation then analyses the LERU Roadmap for research data, which is the first report of its kind to identify what universities and their researchers have to do to deliver good practice in research data management; (2) A practical study of what universities, and their libraries, can do to deliver good research data management practice. The presentation looks at a practical example of research data management in the Arts and Humanities, examines the importance of the Hague Declaration (2015), looks at the potential of the EU-funded LEARN project, uses the 10 LIBER recommendations to libraries as a key self-assessment tool in research data management, and marks the author’s host institution UCL against the LIBER Roadmap; (3) The final presentation sets the concept of research data management in the context of Open Science (Science 2.0). It looks at LERU’s submission to the European Commission’s Science 2.0 consultation, analyses the main findings of the consultation in terms of Open Access, and posits a new role for the institution as an Open Access publisher, with publishing being based in the Library. It then looks at further concepts of Open Science – Research Evaluation and Citizen Science. Finally, the presentation places research data management at the heart of the Open Science agenda, and suggests that this presents a transformative opportunity for University Libraries in the 21st century.
