  1. Interest Group on Surveying Open Data Practices LAUNCH EVENT Open research data: a gap between practice and policy? RDA 9th Plenary Meeting, Barcelona, Spain Friday 7 April, 14.00 – 16.00

  2. Brief history • Open Data: the researcher perspective was launchedduring a collocated event at the 9th RDA Plenary in Barcelona • BoF session at the 10th RDA Plenary in Montreal • KazuhiroHayashi & David O’Brienjoined the team as co-chairs • Preparation of IG Charter, that was approved Summer 2018. • Today, we present ourselves on the 12thRDA in Gaborone • Toreach out to community • Tobring in otherperspectives, especially issues in Global South around Open data • To get feedback on ourworksofar, andimprove • To start the workdescribed in the IG

  3. Interest Group on Surveying Open Data Practices WHY? • Open data landscape is changing rapidly • To understand the impact of policies and changes in researchers’ practice. • Comprehensive benchmarking and tracking of open data practices • Various surveys, but they vary widely • Bring best knowledge together to address cultural, language and field specific difference • To increase our understanding of open data practice • To support the community!!

  4. Interest Group on Surveying Open Data Practices WHAT 1 Convene User Communities: • Participation and perspectives: to support application of proposed activities, initial efforts will focus on involving and understanding the perspectives of users who have commissioned and are interested in commissioning open data surveys. What did they seek to understand through their survey? What data proved useful and for what purpose? • Promote dialogue among questionnaire designers and survey users.

  5. Interest Group on Surveying Open Data Practices WHAT 2 Develop a community-designed modular and interoperable open survey(s): • Horizon scanning: identify and analyze existing surveys to compare similarities and differences in topics addressed and indicators used; identify relevant stakeholders. • Engagement & recruitment: engage with stakeholders to raise awareness of this IG, assess their interest in collaborating, and identify skills and expertise available. • Develop survey(s) and/or survey modules taking advantage of existing ones by ensuring, available and willing expertise, focusing on communities with high interest and willingness to participate. Survey(s) could, for example, be developed in a step-wise approach developing specific pilots for specific communities, geographies, etc. (e.g. initial interest from funding bodies community could lead to a first Working Group). • Address language and cultural differences to identify common grounds that can be applied globally.

  6. Interest Group on Surveying Open Data Practices WHAT 3 Determine how such open survey(s) could be implemented and results analyzed globally: • Assess available existing technical tools to choose the solution(s) best fitted for our purpose. • Identify multiplying networks to deploy survey(s) such as societies or associations that can help achieve a deep reach out effect to run survey(s). • Make the modular survey(s) freely available and promoting their use as well as the technical tools to the identified stakeholders and with organizations not currently taking stock of data sharing. • Promote discussions among stakeholders of the merits and opportunities to promote a coordinated approach to the use of the modular survey(s).

  7. Agenda of thissession • Outline, scope, rationale : Ingeborg Meijer, CWTS, the Netherlands • Learning from Surveys – 2 case examples • Research Data: The Researcher’s Perspective. Federica Rosetta (Elsevier) • Practical challenges for researchers in data sharing. VarshaKhodiyar (Springer Nature) • User cases • NISTEP, Japan, Kazuhiro Hayashi • Austria , Paolo Budroni • African Association of Universities, Nodumo Dhlamini  • South Africa, Louise Bezuidenhout • Future direction/discussion: David O’Brien, IDRC (Canada)

  8. HOW? TOGETHER!! • Get your input • Get your support • Defineworkinggroups • Make work plan • Anyothersuggestion or contribution • Connecting
