Abstract

Every researcher needs data in their working ecosystem, but despite the resources (funding, time, and energy) they have spent to get the data, only a few are putting more real attention into data management. This paper mainly describes our recommendation of a research data management plan (RDMP) at the university level. This paper is an extension of our initiative, to be developed at the university or national level, while also in-line with current developments in scientific practices mandating data sharing and data re-use.

Researchers can use this article as an assessment form to describe the setting of their research and data management. Researchers can also develop a more detailed RDMP to cater to a specific project's environment. In this RDMP, we propose three levels of storage: offline working storage, offline backup storage, and online-cloud backup storage, located on a shared-repository. We also propose two kinds of cloud repository: a dynamic repository to store live data and a static repository to keep a copy of final data.

Hopefully, this RDMP could solve problems on data sharing and preservation, and additionally it could improve researchers' awareness about data management to increase the value and impact of their research efforts.

Keywords: research data management plan, open data, data sharing, data repository, reproducible research

Introduction

Good data management is capable of supporting scientific discovery[1], yet we have been observing a cultural barrier on data sharing.[2] More insights about data sharing and the diverse perceptions among scientists in various fields have been endlessly discussed.[3][4][5][6]

Every researcher needs data in their working ecosystem, but despite the resources (funding, time, and energy) they have spent to get the data, only a few are putting more real attention into data management.[7][8] A data management strategy is not just an administrative document; it also plays an important role in guiding researchers in storing, backing up, preserving, and sharing their research data in a proper and sustainable manner.

This paper describes a guideline to build a university-level research data management plan (RDMP) and how it can promote data sharing among scientists. This RDMP would be the first one to be developed at the university level in Indonesia. This project is in-line with current development in scientific practices mandating data sharing and data re-use. The goals of this RDMP project are to build awareness about data sharing and preservation to scientists, especially academic staffs, and to build a practical and simple tool to help them manage their research data. The goal of an RDMP project is to guide researchers in managing their data, including curating, storing, sharing, and preserving it for immediate and future use.

This RDMP proposal is largely extracted from our experience in developing RDMP for an international research collaboration funded by RCUK (Research Council UK).[9]

Description

General overview

The concern to having a proper RDMP was triggered by difficulties faced by researchers to find data from another researcher or previous research and to extract data from reports. The other problem is to find guidelines, especially in Indonesia, on how to appropriately manage your research data, to store them, and to keep them available in the long run. Clearly scientists have issues on how to re-use datasets from prior research, how to cite them in their own work (re-use), and how to know the limitation of such actions.

Due to the large effort to get data in terms of funding, time, and energy, the longevity of data should be more than one or two years, as we find to be the general case in the Indonesia research ecosystem (Fig. 1).[9][10][11][12] Another important point to address is the barrier of data sharing that involves the fear of getting scooped, the lack of knowledge concerning intellectual property rights (IPR), and data ownership. Therefore, by developing this document, we could solve the barriers and at the same time we could come up with another way to increase the value of research data, instead of only looking at mainstream metrics.

How to use this article as a set of guidelines

Researchers can use this article as an assessment form to describe the setting of their research and data management requirements from a potential funder. Researchers can also develop a more detailed RDMP to cater to a specific project's environment. They should justify the setting of their research and requirement of the funder regarding data sharing and data preservation.

Seven components in RDMP

The proposed RDMP is divided into seven components:

  1. Data collection
  2. Documentation and metadata
  3. Storage and backup
  4. Preservation
  5. Sharing and re-use
  6. Responsibilities and resources
  7. Ethics and legal compliance

Given the different nature of research, funders, and DMP standards, we refer to the following sources in developing this RDMP:

  • Data sharing culture (Neylon 2017a[10], Neylon 2017b[11])
  • Open data principles and reproducible research (Irawan et al. 2017[13])
  • RDMP check lists or rubric (Digital Curation Center 2014[14], Teperek et al. 2017[15], University of California Curation Center 2018[16])
  • RDMP case study from various fields of sciences (Neylon 2017c[17], Traynor 2017[18], Wael 2017[19], Woolfrey 2017[20])
