1. ELPUB, Karlskrona, June 2013 Publisher interest towards a role for journals in Data-Sharing: The Findings of the JoRD Project Marianne Bamkin, Jane H Smith, Paul Sturges*, Azhar Hussain, Bill Hubbard Centre for Research Communications, University of Nottingham * Loughborough University

2. What is JoRD? • Journal Research Data Policy Bank • 6 month feasibility study (July-Dec 2012) • Commissioned by JISC – MRD Programme • Scope and shape of potential service to provide a ready source of information covering journal policy landscape of research data

3. Aims • To identify the scope and format of a service to collate and summarise journal data policies • To investigate and recommend business models for maintaining a financially self-sustaining service

4. Literature Review Three basic issues to be considered when writing data sharing policies: • The point in the research process at which is it appropriate to share data has to be decided • Journals may not have the correct mechanisms to enforce their own requirements • Biomedical science appears to be leading the way in data sharing practice, policies and initiatives

5. Key stages

6. Survey • Thomson Reuters Citation Index • Science and Social Sciences • Highest and Lowest Impact Factor Journals • 371 titles • 36 Subject Areas Covered

7. Survey

8. SURVEY

9. Data Types

10. Where

11. When

12. Stage two: Stakeholder Consultation All Stakeholders • Consensus about importance of making data freely available • Recognised importance of linkage between journal content and underlying data BUT • Less of a unified approach in practise

13. Stakeholder Consultation Who would use a Journal Policy data bank service? Who would subscribe to a Journal Policy data bank service?

14. Researchers At the correct point in the Research • Qualitative research • Textual data • Quantitative research • Numerical datasets • Images • Video • Visualisations • Photographs • Computer based data forms • Software • Ontologies • Mixed methods • Combinations of the above 68% 63% 40% 63% 64% 56% 20% 11% 17% 18% 22% 22% 14% 13%

15. Researchers 74% Journals should have data policies 78% Would use a JoRD service Central resource for current journal information Comparison aids choice of publication To choose the most relevant journal

16. Publishing houses • Data sharing • Quality issues • Permanent links to data • Data peer review and citation • Implications of data ownership • Storage and infrastructure • Data policy development • 6 Leading Publishers

17. Publishing houses • Uses for JoRD Compliance check Competitor intelligence

18. Academic Librarians and Data Service Managers • Data sharing • Advisory role • Dataset licensing • Metadata • Research data management • Uses for JoRD • Valuable central resource • Advice and guidance • Support and develop data management policies • Integration into other services

19. Service requirements 55 different requirements Service Information • Clear, automated and simple instructions • Clear documentation on aims, policies and procedures of JoRD Content of Service • Conditions for data deposit: re-use and access; restrictions • Guidelines for file, data or metadata format • Locations where data can be archived and retrieved (URLs)

20. Stage 3:Market testing the business models • Basic • Database of Journal Research Data Policies, with minimal web interface and an API • Enhanced • Basic + Additional data integration such as funder policies, institutional policies and list of recommended repositories • Advisory • Enhanced + Research and advisory services e.g. guides, best practice, policy frameworks and policy language suggestions No clear favourite No clear funding stream

21. Recommendations Phase One • Seed funding • Pilot service • High quality, maintained database • API • Model policy • Market base • Business model Phase Two • Implement full service

22. Summary • Data Sharing • Developing interest • Slower uptake • Policies • Lack of Journal Data Policies • Some publishers working on area • Stakeholders • General Support for JoRD • Optimum Business Case not identified • Recommendations of Pilot Scheme to build user base and develop business case

23. Final Thoughts • JoRD could assist Publishers in writing data sharing policies: • Providing easy access to journal data policies of other publishers • Provide Clarity on when, where and what to deposit • Guidance on file and metadata formats • Model Policy • Get involved with Research Data!
