Survey on Research Data Management at HU Berlin
• 6 weeks in early 2013 • Target group was academic staff at HU Berlin (~2000 persons) • Overall response rate of ~24 % (499) • 117 PhD students from most disciplines (departments and institutes)
– Chemistry (13) – Psychology (11) – Social sciences (9) – History (8) – Biology (7)
• Important: Participants were not asked to rely answer to a specific type of research data, e.g. only research data based on ETDs

Doctoral theses’ research data
Research data definition approach
“[…] digital data being a (descriptive) part or the result of a research process. This process covers all stages of research, ranging from research data generation, which may be in an experiment in the sciences, an empirical study in the social sciences or observations of cultural phenomena, to the publication of research results. Digital research data occur in different data types, levels of aggregation and data formats, informed by the research disciplines and their methods. With regards to the purpose of access for use and re-use of research data, digital research data are of no value without their metadata and proper documentation describing their context and the tools used to create, store, adapt, and analyze them.” (Kindling & Schirmbacher, 2013)

Doctoral theses’ research data
Relevance and context: Impact on universities
• Increasing impact on universities worldwide • Research data management services and support are ahead in UK, USA
and Australia (evaluation in HU seminar) • Since some years also a „hot topic“ in German LIS domain on university
level • Some German universities already have research data archiving included in
their policy • HU Berlin did the first extensive survey on research data management at
German universities • Interviews showed that some departments at HU are planning to mandate
research data archiving for ETDs

Research data features
• Research object • Research result • Scholarly communication (published data) • Proof • Retracability/Verifiability • Impact • ETDs: Review and evaluation (exam) • Re-use • Innovation • Financial benefits

Doctoral theses’ research data
Research data metadata and documentation
General aspects • Interpretation • Reproducability • Re-Use • Less motivation to data
documentation • Metadata standards for
most disciplines
ETDs • Research Integrity (exam) • Citability (PID) • Findability • Extensive data description
(part of ETDs), but diverse

Doctoral theses’ research data
Examples: Summary
• ETD full text including graphs, pictures, tables etc. • ETD full text file + pdf attachments mostly including graphs, pictures and
tables) • ETD full text + attachment (zip-files) • ETD full text + linked research data, metadata on ETD • ETD full text + linked research data in institutional repository, metadata on ETD
and research data • ETD full text + linked research data in (multi-)disciplinary repository (with PID
and metadata/data documentation), metadata on ETD and research data • … However, at least in Germany less examples showing ETDs interlinked with research data.

Possible university strategies
• Institutional research data repository for archiving – With possibility to publish research data or not – Mandating research data deposit or offering optional deposit service – Zipped data packages – Mostly possible, but not often used
• (Multi-)Disciplinary repositories recommended by university – But still for a lot of ‘small sciences’ there is no such infrastructure; very likely
an institutional infrastructure is needed – Cross-linking workflow for enhanced publications – Not yet common
• Challenges – Disciplinary differences and heterogeneity of research data and research
data infrastructures

Some aspects…
• Research data definition depending on disciplinary characteristics! • Workflows considering universities‘ settings
– Mandating Policy – Documented process in Phd guidelines – Participating committees – Self-deposit? Delivery workflow – Open Access, Embargo, Access restrictions

Doctoral theses’ research data
Some aspects…
• Metadata and data documentation – Cross-linking between ETD and research data (minimum dc:relations,
optimal: „semantic“ linking and exposure via e.g. OAI-ORE) – ETDs data set provided with PIDs – ETDs data description parts – DataCite Metadata: Core Element Set (Identifier, identifierType, Creator,
creatorName) – Visibility via NDLTD Union Catalogue, ProQuest etc.

Doctoral theses’ research data
Some aspects…
• Repository infrastructure – Institutional or disciplinary/multidisciplinary? – Evaluation of repositories as support service from the library? – Long term preservation – Trust and sustainability – Restrictions of file formats, space, … – Legal aspects – Upload/Ingest via data package file (OAIS SIP)?
• Training – Awareness – Workshops and training tutorials in Graduate Schools and Phd courses
