Policy Development

An Open Access and Research Data Management Policy Task and Finish Group was set up in March 2012 to develop an institutional policy on research data and Open Access issues.

Objectives

The Group's remit is:

• To develop and oversee ratification of an institutional policy on RDM and OA.

• To act as a link between the Open Exeter project and Colleges/Departments.

• To advocate good practice in RDM and OA in Colleges/Departments.

• To recommend how institutional policy can be tailored for more specific disciplines/research groups and ensure that discipline-specific factors are brought to the table.

• To help set up College and Academic Services-level procedures that provide for the implementation of institutional policy.

• To analyse and update existing UoE policies to reflect best practice in RDM and OA.

• To ensure responsibilities for review and updating of policy are clear and extend beyond the life of the Task and Finish Group.

These are the Group's Terms of Reference.
