Primary data generated by non-scientific projects should be
retained for a minimum of 5 years after completion of the
project concerned.'
I have a problem with the JISC recommendation in this particular.
All knowledge areas employ scientific method to a greater or lesser degree.
What makes research 'scientific' other than its method?
If there is no real distinction (in terms of method) then best practice
needs to be applied across the board and value judgements, in respect of
different areas of research, squarely challenged.
