Here are extracts from the blog. Open Practices and Policies for Research Data in the Marine Community, from Alessandro Sarretta https://creativecommons.org/2016/12/01/open-practices-policies-research-data-marine-community/ As a researcher in the field(s) of Coastal and Marine Environment and Geospatial Information, I’m constantly dealing with data. Data are the core of science, and research has to be based on sound and reliable data. My goal as an IOL fellow is to inform relevant marine communities of the benefits of an open research data policy and, more specifically, to apply these principles to the practices within my institute—the Institute of Marine Sciences (ISMAR), part of the Italian National Research Council.

Open data is coming

Open data is coming, here are some data to backup this claim: Carlos Moedas – Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation - said on 22 June 2015: This will mean setting standards for the management, interoperability and quality of scientific data. I would like to see progress on this in next 12 months. And I will want to see what further support or requirements for open data should be introduced in Horizon 2020 following the mid term review.

The frustration was particularly intense if the data was collected by publicly-funded institutions that did not have the resources to really analyse the data. Then, we argued, that publicly-produced data should be mobilised for research. Or even better, we argued, it should be available for everyone without restrictions, to reduce the administrative workload and to reduce the barriers for collaboration and innovation between scientists, companies and active citizens.

We report here abstract form the text present on the origina blog Jennifer Harris and Tim Fulton (https://openadventures-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=90) The task [asked by data manageers] is sometimes only a small one such as uploading a paper to an institutional repository post-publication. But these small tasks can sometimes be the final straw when it comes to managing your workload. We have begun the process of preparing data for publication at the time of collection rather than as a subsequent publication step.

From the openadventures blog: 1 interviews

text obtained from: https://openadventures-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk In a series of interview, data champions were asked to tell about their “happiest data moment.” Different answer were given. David Marshall, @futurelib Around two years ago we (Futurelib) finished the data gathering phase of a project, Protolib, looking at the design of physical study spaces. We had prototyped different study spaces based on the findings of a collaborative design process conducted with Cambridge students and researchers.
