LERU Roadmap for Research Data

Abstract

This Roadmap looks at the challenges posed by research
\ndata in seven chapters, which concentrate on issues such
\nas policy, leadership, research data infrastructure, costs,
\nadvocacy, description and legal issues, skills, roles and
\nresponsibilities. Through selected case studies and examples
\nfrom LERU universities, it is possible to see how
\nindividual LERU members are tackling these challenging
\nissues.
\nThe resulting Roadmap, like its predecessor on Open Access
\nto research publications, presents a series of blueprints
\nwhich LERU members, indeed any European university,
\ncould use to begin to tackle the challenges which
\nresearch data poses. It also has a series of messages for
\nresearchers, research institutions, support services and
\npolicymakers.
