Benefits Evidence Gathering in the JISC Managing Research Data Programme, 2011-13 Simon Hodson, Neil Beagrie, Evidence Gatherers This session will look at approaches for gathering evidence of benefits and impact which will be important for projects and the programme, both in making a case for investment in research data management and contributing towards project business cases. Practical sessions will allow projects to look in detail at the Benefits Framework Tool, the Value Chain Impacts Tool and consider what benefits the project is likely to generate and what evidence may be gathered. |
11.00-12.30 |
Thematic Parallel Sessions: These sessions will focus on lessons from the previous programme and related work in other institutions, which touches on a number of themes of relevance to the new projects: A: Preparing a business case, development to service, June Finch, University of Manchester, MaDAM and MiSS Projects; identifying efficiency benefits, cost savings, James Wilson, University of Oxford, Sudamih, VIDaaS and DaMaRO Projects. B: Identifying and supporting researcher requirements; supporting researcher needs; evaluation, Meik Poschen, University of Manchester, MaDAM and MiSS Projects; Jonathan Tedds, University of Leicester, HALOGEN and BRISSkit Projects. C: Policy development (ppt) Robin Rice, University of Edinburgh and Miggie Pickton, University of Northampton; guidance and training materials (ppt) Sarah Jones, DCC; Laura Molloy, HATII, University of Glasgow D: Data management planning and meeting funder requirements, Julie McLeod, University of Northumberland; Mansur Darlington, University of Bath, REDm-MED Project (ppt); Brian Hole, UCL.
The presentations and discussion in this session will focus on a) disciplinary challenges as uncovered in requirements analyses, previous work and to what extent these relate to funder requirements and/or other drivers; b) use and adaptation of the DCC's DMP checklist and/or DMPonline as a starting point; and c) how to go about supporting the execution of the plan and turning it into practice. |
13.30-15.00 |
Thematic Parallel Sessions TBA These thematic sessions will be identified during the poster session. They may focus on disciplinary issues, though platforms and approaches may also be covered. For example, there are clusters of projects in the following areas: health and life sciences, engineering, archaeology, social sciences, arts and humanities. Equally, projects may wish to initiate discussions around common technical approaches: repository platforms, use of SWORD2, metadata strategies and DataCite. These sessions will come up with actions to be announced in the wrap-up (even if this is simply at the level of 'this group will keep in touch and exchange news of progress'). |
