Hi all,
The ESRC do view code as a data product. The ReShare repository (my old haunt at UK Data Service) contains code produced by ESRC funded researchers.
At Office for National Statistics (ONS) we have been contributing to the ESRC’s recent refresh of its ESRC Research Data Policy (https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/develop-evidence-based-recommendations-for-esrcs-data-policy/ to include guidance on code deposit. The next version will likely include code.
We have recently released a code sharing library in our ONS Secure Research Service (TRE), driven by the ADR mission to help create value-added data products from ESRC investment for using linked administrative data (ADR UK). As these data are complex and hard to use, and the data so new, every little contribution can help (as long as it’s well documented!). Open metadata records for this code, attributing authors, could be added to ReShare or a University repository for public consultation.
Thanks,
Louise

Dear Michael,
I don't think UKRI consider code to be data, but under principle 8 of the UK Concordat on Open Research Data (which UKRI co-wrote) there is this helpful statement:
"In this spirit (and recognising the issues raised under Principle #2), it is vital that the data supporting and underlying published research findings should, as far as possible, be made open by the time the findings are published and be preserved for an appropriate period. This could be achieved by depositing and providing access to relevant data and associated software (where possible) via a repository owned or operated by a discipline-specific research community and its funding bodies, a publisher, a research institution, a subject association, a learned society, national deposit libraries or a commercial organisation; or via other mechanisms that provide appropriate and sustainable services"
Best wishes,
Rosie

Dear Michael,
May I also suggest taking a look at the “10 CURE-FAIR Things” which includes guidelines for sharing and publishing data and code with reproducibility in mind, https://doi.org/10.15497/RDA00074 (also, a user-friendly version here: https://curating4reproducibility.org/10things/).
All the best,
-Limor

Dear Michael,
The issue doesn’t seem to be one of whether code is included in any ‘definition’ of data… Rather, to consider whether the data would be useless without the code. In many (if not most) cases, code is essential for the reusability and interoperability of data.
There could be a difference between what the journal reviewers require, and what repository managers require. Upon submission of a journal article, it would be advisable to provide both data and code.
For an institutional, or subject, repository it might be possible to ask users to request the code from the P.I. But this might give the impression that the underlying elaboration is not being fully disclosed…
With regard to permission to share code – it would be best to define ‘credit’ early in the project. ‘Technical’ and coding support is increasingly ‘substantive’ (consider computational social science) – so it would be good to credit such collaborators (in some cases as co-authors) and explain that both data and code would be made available at the end of the project (as long as there were no data protection and/or copyright issues with primary data).
With best wishes,
Thomas

Subject: Sharing of code
Hi All,
A quick question from a researcher who is EPSRC funded and wonders if they need to share the code when sharing the research data?
I am currently preparing a paper that I am going to submit to a peer review journal. The paper contains some results produced by a program that I have written in MATLAB. The work on the paper is funded by EPSRC.
Am I required to make my codes open-access or is it permitted to make them available upon request?The researcher isn't precious about the code but often collaborates with others researchers in the writing of code and wonders if EPSRC view code as data. If so, the permission of collaborators would be needed to share.
Publishers such as Nature differentiate code from data, although they encourage its reuse:
Do I have to share my code or other materials in order to publish in a Springer Nature journal?
The focus of this policy framework is on data rather than software but the sharing of software alongside data is also important to support reproducibility and transparency. Many Springer Nature journals also support the use of Code Availability Statements. Please consult the journal’s submission guidance or contact the journal directly for information on code sharing and code availability.
I can't seem to locate any UKRI information regarding definition of research data and how commonplace it is for EPSRC funded researchers to deposit the code too. All advice greatly received here.
Happy to be contacted on or off list.
Thanks,
Michael
