UK. Data Archive acquire, curate and provide access to the UKs
largest collection of Social and EconomicData. They also have the
largest collection of digital data in the social sciences and
humanities in the UnitedKingdom. With several thousand datasets
relating to society, both historical and contemporary, our Archive
isa vital resource for researchers, teachers and learners.
- 2. Creating Data Data often have a longer lifespan than the
research project that creates them. Researchers may continue to
work on data after funding hasReusing Processing Data Data ceased,
follow-up projects may analyse or add to the data, and data may be
re-used by other researchers. Well organised, well documented,
preserved and shared data are invaluable to advance scientific
inquiry and to increase opportunities for learning and innovation.

- 3. This phase of the lifecycle talks about: Design Research
Plan Data Management (formats, storage etc.) Plan Consent for
Sharing Locate existing Data Collect Data (Experiment, Observe,
Measure and Simulate) Capture and Create Metadata Good data
management is fundamental for high quality research data and
research excellence. Data management covers all aspects of
handling, organising, documenting and enhancing research data, and
enabling their sustainability and sharing. Many research funders
require data management and sharing plans at the start of research
projects. Many research funders and publishers are committed to a
long-term strategy for data resource provision and encourage
researchers to share data. Video

- 4. The Processing Phase of the lifecycle talks about: Enter
Data, Digitise, Transcribe and Translate Check, Validate, Clean
Data Anonymise Data where necessary Describe Data Manage Data Store
DataA data storage strategy is important because digital
storagemedia are inherently unreliable and all file formats
andphysical storage media will ultimately become obsolete.Media
currently available for storing data files are opticalmedia - CDs
and DVDs - and magnetic media - hard drivesand tapes.At the
Archive, where our business is the long-termpreservation of digital
data, we recommend our ownprinciples on storage to researchers.
Storage of data - bothdigital and non-digital - from research
projects should betaken seriously from the start of research.
- 5. This phase of the lifecycle talks about: Interpret Data
Derive Data Produce Research Outputs Author Publications Prepare
Data for PreservationData management is not just the responsibility
of theresearcher who creates the data.Many people are involved in
the research process and haveroles in ensuring the integrity and
quality of research dataand increasing the potential for data
sharing.A crucial part of making data user-friendly, shareable
andwith long-lasting usability is to ensure they can beunderstood
and interpreted by any user. This requires cleardata description,
annotation, contextual information anddocumentation.
- 6. This phase of the lifecycle talks about: Migrate Data to
best format Migrate Data to suitable medium Back-up and store Data
Create Metadata and Documentation Archive DataMaking back-ups of
files is an essential element of datamanagement. Regular back-ups
protect against accidental ormalicious data loss and can be used to
restore originals ifthere is loss of data.Accidental or malicious
loss of data can be due to: hardware faults or failure software or
media faults virus infection or malicious hacking power failure
human errors by changing or deleting files
- 7. This phase of the lifecycle talks about: Distribute Data
Share Data Control Access Establish Copyright Promote DataThere is
more than one avenue through which you can shareyour data. As you
start your research consider how your datacan be shared.The digital
revolution has caused a strong drive towards openaccess of
information, with the internet making informationsharing fast,
easy, powerful and empowering.Scholarly publishing has seen a
strong move towards openaccess to increase the impact of research,
with e-journals,open access journals and copyright policies
enabling thedeposit of outputs in open access repositories.
- 8. This phase of the lifecycle talks about: Follow-Up Research
New Research Undertake Research Reviews Scrutinise Findings Teach
and LearnCopyright is an intellectual property right
assignedautomatically to the creator, that prevents
unauthorisedcopying and publishing of an original work.
Copyrightapplies to research data and plays a role when
creating,sharing and re-using data.The categorisation of copyright
as a property demonstratesthat copyright is something which belongs
to someone,cannot be taken away without consent and cannot be
abusedwithout the possibility of legal action ensuing.
