Data Life Cycle
Planning the Research
What data will be collected?
What format will the data be in?
How long should the data be stored?
Is there potential for the data to be re-used in other inquiries?
How large will the datasets be?
Who owns the data?
Create a Data Management Plan
What metadata or standardized tags will you use?
How will you share the data while your research is in
progress?
What documentation is needed to keep the data accessible
throughout the project and after?
Collect Data and Documentation
Back up data and documentation in at least three places, e.g.
hard drive, thumb drive, and web space
Analyze data
Back up data and documentation
Leave your original data intact using copies to perform
analyses
Include algorithms, formulae, methods in your documentation
(use a scripting software such as R to document your
analyses)
Prepare Data For Sharing
Datasets should be in file formats compatible with repository
support
Metadata (tags) added to enable discovery
Archiving and Preservation
Add to metadata, include published research associated with
data
Deposit Data
Complete forms for depositing data in repository

Open Access to Data
Panton Principles [launched February 2010 at the Panton Arms on
Panton Street in Cambridge, UK]
"Science is based on building on, reusing and openly criticising the
published body of scientific knowledge. For science to effectively
function, and for society to reap the full benefits from scientific
endeavours, it is crucial that science data be made open."

Defining Research Data
United States Circular No. A-110
The U.S. Federal Government's Office of Management
and Budget Circular A-110 (36.d.2.i Property Standards
Intangible property definition) states:
Research data is defined as the recorded factual
material commonly accepted in the scientific community
as necessary to validate research findings, but not any of
the following: preliminary analyses, drafts of scientific
papers, plans for future research, peer reviews, or
communications with colleagues. This "recorded"
material excludes physical objects (e.g., laboratory
samples). Research data also do not include:
Trade secrets, commercial information, materials
necessary to be held confidential by a researcher
until they are published, or similar information
which is protected under law and
Personnel and medical information and similar
information the disclosure of which would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy, such as information that could
be used to identify a particular person in a
research study.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data Sharing
Policy
Definition of Final Research Data
Recorded factual material commonly accepted in the
scientific community as necessary to document and
support research findings. This does not mean summary
statistics or tables rather, it means the data on which
summary statistics and tables are based. For the
purposes of this policy, final research data do not include
laboratory notebooks, partial datasets, preliminary
analyses, drafts of scientific papers, plans for future
research, peer review reports, communications with
colleagues, or physical objects, such as gels or
laboratory specimens. NIH has separate guidance on the
sharing of research resources, which can be found at
NIHGPS
National Science Foundation (NSF) Sharing Data 38.a
NSF expects significant findings from research and
education activities it supports to be promptly submitted
for publication, with authorship that accurately reflects
the contributions of those involved. It expects
investigators to share with other researchers, at no more
than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the
data, samples, physical collections and other supporting
materials created or gathered in the course of the work. It
also encourages grantees to share software and
inventions or otherwise act to make the innovations they
embody widely useful and usable.
