From serials crisis…
“We write to communicate an untenable situation facing the Harvard Library. Many large journal publishers have made the scholarly communication environment fiscally unsustainable and academically restrictive. ” Harvard University Library, 2012

Key Role: policy development
ReCODE: policy recommendations for open access to research data in Europe Disciplinary approach Values, Infrastructure, Legal & Ethical, Institutional
One size does not fit all Values differ across disciplines As does data And RDM practices
Attitudes and practices will change over time Increase in skills Availability of infrastucture Evidence and incentives Legislative change will impact practices

Key role: research data management
“Without the infrastructure that helps scientists manage their data in a convenient and efficient way,
no culture of data sharing will evolve.”

Getting started in RDM
Need for cross service collaboration Strong case for centralised support service Lack of clarity about what research data is
and how it should be made accessible Need to go beyond the institution Investment in advocacy and awareness
