What is SHUs policy on Research Data Management?
Answer
The SHU Research Data Management policy is in line with UKRI (formerly RCUK) and EPSRC requirements. It asks for all publicly-funded research projects to
- draft a data management plan before the project commences
- store all active research data on the University networked storage system, for example on the Research Store
- make arrangements for the long-term preservation of datasets that underpin a publication, are of potential long-term value, and/or support a patent application
- register all preserved datasets in the SHU Research Data Archive (SHURDA)
- share datasets where this is required by any funders or where it will be beneficial for the research community
- include a statement in any publication on how to access the supporting data
- formally cite any third party data that you use
This is mandatory for all publicly-funded research projects, and considered good practice for all other research projects.
