That’s certainly an important consideration. It’s fairly easy to offer generic RDM advice, but our research consistently suggests
that researchers like to have examples of good research data management practice in their own discipline. That’s harder to offer, as few researchers are confident enough yet that they are exemplifying ‘best practice’ to want to tell people about it. The more
examples and case studies that can be shared, the easier it will become to produce useful advice and materials at a level researchers can engage with.
If anyone on this list already has good subject-specific case studies, do please share! We’ll be working on it during 2014.

This is definitely a topic on which many of us are working. Our Research Data Management Services Working Group just finished reviewing 52 websites containing research data management pages and are now preparing a new site for our institution
based on what we have learned. In a nutshell, we discovered that content on research data management is not an issue. The challenge seems to be in providing different user communities with a context for content appropriate to their needs. We are in the
midst of mocking up our solutions to this challenge.

I would be interested in this information too, as we are embarking on a similar exercise.
Many thanks

At Oxford we’re undertaking a similar revision of our RDM pages, so expect another off-list email.

Lawrence,
My colleague has just collated some of this information for us as we’re in the process of revising our RDM pages. I’ll send it to you as an attachment off-list.
Cheers,

Subject: Beginner to RDM
Hello,
We're a small medical institution and, like many universities, are tackling the issue of how to manage our research data. Before I investigate the issue of cloud storage options, high-performance computing etc. I'd like to 'keep it real' and develop some brief pages for our library website which introduce our researchers to the concept of RDM, why it's important (funder reqs etc.), and provide introductory guidance on what they can do to improve the management of and access to the data they handle (e.g. data management plans; ethics etc.). I'd also like to point them to a few external resources such as the DCC website. For want of a better phrase, I'm looking to see what 'light touch RDM' web pages libraries have put together out there so that I can get ideas about what type of information we need to include.
Can anyone help?
thanks,
Lawrence--
