Reply-To: | | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 9 Feb 2000 16:05:47 -0000585_iso-8859-1 As an SRG Committee member I can best answer this one. The SRG's membership is currently in the region of 550, which is around a third of the Society. Its membership consists of archivists from a variety of sectors. The largest body represented are university archivists, the audience which the SRG was originally set up to serve, and for which is still has an emphasis. As far as I can tell, business archivists in the SRG number around 75. I do not know how many others would be in the RMG.

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC,
one of the research funding councils) has a "Statement on
safeguarding good scientific practice", available at
<http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/opennet/structur/hrg/sciconco.html>.
This states:
"Documenting results and storing primary data.
Throughout their work, BBSRC requires researchers to keep clear and
accurate records of the scientific procedures followed and of the
results obtained, including interim results. This is necessary not
only as a means of demonstrating proper scientific practice, but also
in case questions are subsequently asked about either the conduct of
the research or the results obtained. For similar reasons, data
generated in the course of research must be kept securely in paper or
electronic form, as appropriate. BBSRC expects data to be securely
held for a period of ten years after the completion of a research
project, and institutions receiving funding from the Council to have
guidelines setting out responsibilities and procedures for keeping
data."
