Should all data be open?
• NO• Many reasons – most to do with human
subjects• But data existence should always be open• Allows discovery & negotiation on use• Avoids pointless replication

But if you could publish just data…
• You could gain benefit even from the experiments that fail – as long you got good data
• ‘Data papers’ are one way to achieve this

Findable, citable data has value
• Important to link publications to data (and vice versa)• Increases citations – of data & publication• Increases reuse (hence value)• But effects exist even without publication, if data is:
– Archived– Citable– Discoverable
• All benefit – researcher; institution; publisher

Citability
• Making data available increases citations• Everyone – academic, funder, institution –
loves citations• Want evidence?– Alter, Pienta, Lyle – 240%, social sciences *– Piwowar, Vision – 9% (microarray data)†– Henneken, Accomazzi – 20% (astronomy) #

Regulatory requirements
• Data protection, freedom of information, research ethics – all apply to data
• If your data is badly managed:– Compliance is hard
• Know what you deleted (and why) as well as what you have

Because it’s good practice

“Data management is essential to
excellence in research”
Professor Charlotte Clarke, Associate Dean for Research, School of Health, Community and Education Studies
Apart from the benefits for research, good data
management is vital for many reasons:
accountability, security, appropriate data-sharing,
re-use protocols and preservation for example
Prof Julie McLeod, School of Computing, Engineering & Information Sciences

Finally…
• Well-managed data makes your research easier, now and in future
• Well-managed data is easier to share, more likely to be re-used
• ISharing data is good for you• It’s good for all of us• It isn’t as hard as you think – we’re here to
show you how!

Data reuse - messages
2015-06-22 Kevin Ashley – Warsaw data workshop - CC-BY
Often your data tells stories that your
publications do not
Not all data comes from other researchers
One person’s noise is another person’s signal
Discipline-bounded data discovery doesn’t give us
all we need or want
