Research Funders and Stakeholders on Open Research and Data Management Policies and Practices IG

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
Our IG is concerned with data policy standardisation in particular journal data policies and funder data policies, which are known to promote and incentivise data sharing by researchers. We call for collaboration across the scholarly publishing and wider research community to drive further implementation and adoption of consistent research data policies. 
Through meetings of our IG and a period of community consultation, we created a research data policy framework that has defined 14 features of journal research data policies and arranged these into a set of six standard policy types or tiers, which can be adopted by journals and publishers to promote data sharing in a way that encourages good practice and is appropriate for their audience’s perceived needs. This framework has been published in a peer-reviewed journal and adopted as a supported output of the RDA in 2020. Our focus is now the implementation, adoption and socialisation of this framework as a supporting output of RDA – https://www.rd-alliance.org/group/data-policy-standardisation-and-implementation-ig/outcomes/developing-research-data-policy. 
Our IG has also been engaging on the topic of research funder data policies with the Research Funders and Stakeholders Open Research and Data Management Policies IG. We are collaborating on a potential project to examine funder-publisher policy alignment starting with high priority policy features.

Meeting objectives
 
Our meeting objectives are two-fold:

Journal data policies – we aim to continue engaging with publishers and journals, in particular with industry associations such as STM, to promote implementation and adoption of standard research data policies – and planning these initiatives in ways that enables measurement and analysis of the impact of policies. 

Funder data policies – we aim to discuss a potential project to examine funder-publisher policy alignment in collaboration with the Research Funders and Stakeholders Open Research and Data Management Policies IG. Research funders and research publishers are key actors in driving the transition towards a research culture where data and other research outputs are FAIR. However comparatively little work has been done to examine funder-publisher policy alignment. This presents a significant knowledge gap that hinders progress towards more consistent good practice in research data management and, ultimately, the shift towards a FAIR research system.
