DISC-UK DataShare Project Final Report
“…The project’s overall aim was to contribute to new models, workflows and tools for academic data sharing within a complex and dynamic information environment which includes increased emphasis on stewardship of institutional knowledge assets of all types; new technologies to enhance e-
Research; new research council policies and mandates; and the growth of the Open Access / Open Data movement.
…
Key conclusions were that 1) Data management motivation is a better bottom-up driver for
researchers than data sharing but is not sufficient to create culture change, 2) Data librarians, data
managers and data scientists can help bridge communication between repository managers &
researchers, and 3) IRs can improve impact of sharing data over the internet.”
