| Data Management | Data Management Plan New project proposals must include a Data Management Plan, including Data Management costs, as defined in the IMAS Data Management Guidelines. Externally funded projects must include a budget item for the recoupment of internal Data Management costs and should be formulated in consultation with the Data Manager and with the use of the UTas Budget Preparation Costing Tool. |
| Data Policy | Metadata Researchers will provide Metadata for their Data meeting or exceeding the mandatory requirement of the Marine Community Profile of ISO19115. Researchers will provide Metadata describing the structure of datasets (schema) as defined in the IMAS Data Management Guidelines. Relevant Legislation Personal Information Protection Act 2004 (Tasmania) Freedom of Information Act 1991 (Tasmania) Archives Act 1983 (Tasmania) Antarctic Treaty Relevant Policies and Other Documents Research Accountability (UTas, section 19) Intellectual Property Policy (UTas) Data Backup and Restoration Policy (UTas) The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (NHMRC) TIA-942 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers (TIA) |
| Data Sharing Principle | Data Archiving and Sharing The Data Manager will ensure Data and metadata submitted by researchers is made publicly available (excluding Restricted Data as required); A Researcher may request that publication of Data (excluding Restricted Data) collected as part of a project where they are the Principal Investigator or Co- investigator is withheld for an agreed period not exceeding 12 months after completion of the project (“Withholding Period”) for the purpose of ensuring the Researcher retains the right to first publication of results obtained through examination or analysis of the Data. Where a Principal Investigator, Co-Investigator, the Executive Director of IMAS or the Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) considers that Data has commercial value, any of the afore mentioned may, by written request to the Data Manager, ask that Data remain or become Restricted Data for an additional period of up to 2 years. Where results obtained through examination or analysis of the Data have been published or following the expiration of any agreed Withholding Period or where Data has been collected for more than two years, and Data is not categorised as Restricted Data, the Data and associated Metadata will be made available publicly by submission to a high profile, data archiving facility providing Secure Storage. Where Data is categorised as Restricted Data, and results obtained through examination or analysis of the Restricted Data have been published or where the Restricted Data has been collected for more than two years, and public disclosure of Metadata is not prevented by an obligation of the University of Tasmania (contractual or otherwise), Metadata for the Data will be made available publicly by submission to a high profile, data archiving facility providing Secure Storage. Where only part of Data belonging to a set of Data is considered Restricted Data, the remainder of the non-Restricted Data may still be considered eligible for public availability. For the avoidance of doubt, any contractual obligation of the University of Tasmania owed to a funding body will prevail over the disclosure requirements contained in this part 6.7. All reasonable attempts will be made to ensure sharing of Data will include consultation with the Principal Investigator or a Co-investigator of the project for which the Data was collected to ensure background knowledge and idiosyncrasies of the Data are taken into account when new results are established. |
