What are research data?

• Basically: the underlying data upon which the claims made in a publication rely

• Research data varies by discipline and subject area

• May consist of primary data, secondary data, raw data or manipulated data/sub-set of data

• Not just data files or spreadsheets – can be video, notebooks, slides, scripts...

The landscape of Open Data policies

“[The Taylor &

Francis] policies are

great at clarifying

expectations toward

more FAIR data and I

suspect that both TOP

and the other

publisher policies will

take inspiration from

them.”
