Research Data – Basics and Results of ETD’s

Conferencia realizado del 12 al 14 de setiembre en Lima, Peru del 2012 en el marco del 15º Simposio Internacional de Tesis y Disertaciones Electrónicas (ETD 2012). Evento aupiciado por la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) y la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC). / During the ETD-conferences in the past we discussed the pros and cons of electronic thesis and
dissertations. We described the requirements for maintaining ETD’s in repositories and how we
could motivate authors to make their work open access and so that it will be available to interested
people all over the world. A lot of repositories are available and many countries have well prepared
ETD programs. In Germany all universities have an ETD-repository and we focus more and more on
how to improve the visibility and attractiveness of these collections. The most important element is
the relevance for the scholarly process. Increasingly a repository should be not only a collection,
but a virtual environment—that is, an instrument to support scholars during their work. There are
many possibilities, but an especially important point is the handling of research data.
Research data are the starting point for every research project on the one hand, and on the other
they are the result of any research. In the digital age we can not only store the data but also share
them. This is why in recent years we speak not only about open access to scholarly publications but
about open access to research data. In my paper I intend to describe to the present situation (at
least in Germany) for using research data, the drivers and barriers in sharing research data and
the consequences for the operators of repositories. In order to go more into the details, I will use
results from the EU funded projects “SOAP – Study of Open Access Publishing” and “ODE –
Opportunities Data Exchange”.
