3TU.Datacentrum Symposium Research Data Management: Funder requirements, Questions and Solutions At this symposium the funding organisation NWO and the European Commission explained their vision, plans and requirements. Researchers from the three universities of technology shared their experiences of data management in different stages of research. And the Research Data Services team informed the audience about research data management services offered by 3TU.Datacentrum. The 3TU.Datacentrum symposium took place at the TU Delft (26 May), University of Twente (2 June) and TU Eindhoven (11 June) for and with local researchers.

1. Practical Benefits (and Some
Annoyances) of Sharing Data

6. Archie
• Internal solution
• Data stored 7 years
• Researchers can
upload, but not
modify, research data
• Limited meta-data
(sample size, age
youngest participant,
description of files)

7. Archie is an Integrated
(Internal)Solution
1
•Submit Proposal to Ethical Board
2
•Get OK, Perform Study
3
•Upload Data & Materials

8. I still haven’t uploaded the
data, even though if I do, I get
the participant payment
money back (I advanced the
money). It interesting that
300-500 euro’s is not enough
to get the typical researcher to
hurry up with paperwork, or
uploading data.

9. External Solution
• I do always upload data to an external solution
(the Open Science Framework) before I submit
an article. That’s a much better motivation
than money.

11. Sharing Data is Useful
• I recently co-edited a special issue on
replications. One author of the original
replicated work argued online the replication
study was flawed due to a ceiling effect.
• All the data from the replication was online (as
part of the special issue). The original
researcher also made her data available.
• 5 researchers performed ‘post-publication
peer review’ using the raw data.

13. The Bright Future: Better Meta-Data
• Having access to data for re-analysis is great.
But what we want is:
– Online databases which store relevant data for as
the sample size, effect size, test statistics
– This allows us to meta-analytically evaluate
research lines.
• A new initiative CurateScience.org is doing this
