RESEARCH DATA
15.6.2015 3
By Auke Herrema, for RDA
(Research Data Alliance) at 4th Plenary 22-
24.9.2014, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
What are your research data?
• Your research topic/theme
– What are your research data?
– Who uses the data?
– When?
– For what purpose(s)?
– Who might be interested in your data?
15.6.2015 4
Research data
• Information that is collected, observed, or created
for the purposes of analysis
to produce and validate
original research results.
15.6.2015 5
Examples of research data
• Transcribed interviews
• Survey results
• Observation notes
• Measurements
• Images, videos, audio
• Code
• Log data…

Open science
• Open science aims for advancing open
operation in scientific research.
• The central aim is to publish
– research results,
– research data, and
– research methods
in a way that they are accessible and usable
(for all).

Open research leads to surprising
discoveries and creative insights
Research data and
materials move freely
throughout society.
Information flow is
facilitated
by clear policies and
best practices.
Openness is a joint operating model.
EU - Horizon 2020
• Aim for fuller and wider access to scientific
publications and data.

Guidelines on Open Access to Scientific Publications and
Research Data in Horizon 2020, v. 1.0, 11.12.2013
15.6.2015 12
”The European
Commission’s vision is
that the information
already paid for by the
public purse should not
be paid for again each
time it is accessed or
used, and that it should
benefit European
companies and citizens to
the full.”

OPEN DATA
15.6.2015 14
By Auke Herrema, for RDA
(Research Data Alliance) at 4th Plenary 22-
24.9.2014, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Primary vs. secondary
research data
Secondary data [are] data collected by
someone other than the user [...]
Primary data, by contrast, are collected by the
investigator conducting the research.

Open data
Open data is data that can be freely used,
reused and redistributed by anyone –
subject only, at most, to the requirement to
attribute and sharealike.

Where does open data originate
from?
• Information that has accumulated in/by
– research,
– public administration,
– organizations,
– companies, or
– private citizens,
and
has been opened to externals for using freely and
without payment.

Open research (science) data
Open science data is a type of open data
focused on publishing observations and results
of scientific activities available for anyone to
analyze and reuse.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science_data)
Openness of research data
• Data is available for use
– by anyone
– for any purpose,
– also internationally
as long as the source is referenced according to
good scientific practice.
It does not necessarily mean that it is free of
charge; charges may apply for handling the
data when giving it for use.

Why is managing research data
important?
"Research cannot flourish if data are not
preserved and made accessible. All concerned
must act accordingly".
