[okfn-discuss] Fwd: New edition UKDA guide: Managing and Sharing Data

[Jonathan Gray]

Surprised to see only one mention of "open data" on page 30. A shame that
there isn't a brief step by step guide to openly licensing data in the
guide!

Does anyone know any of the authors of this that we could contact - to see
if they'd consider putting this in next time?

The UK Data Archive has just published the 3rd edition of its 'Managing and
Sharing Data - best practice for researchers' guide.
It is available online at: *

Hard copies can be requested from *Communications

This edition contains much new content, illustrated with numerous case
studies. Guidance is aimed at researchers across the natural and social
sciences and humanities, and covers:

    - why and how to share research data
   - data management planning and costing
   - documenting data
   - formatting data
   - storing data
   - ethics and consent in data sharing
   - data copyright
   - data management strategies for large investments

New and updated guidance results from working closely with researchers,
centres and programmes within the JISC-funded Data Management Planning for
ESRC Research Data-rich Investments (DMP-ESRC) project.
The guide is published thanks to funding from the Joint Information Systems
Committee (JISC), the Rural Economy and Land Use (Relu) Programme and the UK
Data Archive.
