Analysis and Development of a Research Data Policy Framework for Higher Education Institutions 高教機構研究資料政策框架之分析與建構

Abstract

隨著研究資料被視為學術證據與資產後，學術資助者、出版者與高教機構逐步制定研究資料政策，其中有關高教機構研究資料政策的內容項目與框架之研究仍付諸闕如。因此本研究旨在探討全球頂尖高教機構研究資料政策的文件獨立性、與其他重要文件之關係及政策各項目之內容分析等。本研究共調查與分析39 份高教機構研究資料政策，除分析政策項目內容外，發現高教機構研究資料政策與其他文件間具有影響與參見關係，而高教機構資料政策的結構可區分為一般、規畫、資料託管與監控等四個類別，並建議國家政策的推動，學術圖書館與其他權責單位合作及出版引用規範制定，及從研究歷程與其需求提供相關的研究資料服務。 Academic funders, publishers, and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have developed research data policies gradually since research data have been regarded as crucial scholarly evidence and assets. However, there has not been a study analyzed composed items and framework of HEIs’ research data policies. This study aims to examine the evolutional development of research data policies including whether policies are an individual document or a part of other policies, the relationship between policies and other related documents, and components of HEIs’ research data policies, through by analyzing 39 research data policies selected from top-ranked HEIs. In addition to content analysis of components listed in the HEIs’ research data policy, the study has found that influence and reference relationships have existed between HEIs’ research data policies and other documents. According to analysis of components of HEIs’ research data policies, this study has also built up a framework composed of four categories as follows: general, planning, data stewardship and monitoring. And this study furthering divided components of four categories into mandatory, recommendatory and optional. It is also suggested to develop HEI’s data policy through promotion by national-level policy, encourage libraries collaborating with related stakeholders to frame data publishing and citation norms and offer research data services in terms of requirements of research process.
