Abstract

This UKRN working paper outlines the tasks that are either explicitly or implicitly proposed for research institutions by the UK Open Research Data Concordat (2016). It also reflects on how those tasks are relevant to the recommendations from the 2018 report issued by the UK Government from the Open Research Data Task Force. The aim of this paper is to describe more clearly what UK research institutions might be expected to do to support open research data, which may be a helpful basis for sector-wide discussion on both those expectations and how they are being met. The tasks are grouped under the headings of organisational support, infrastructure, recognition, restrictions on open data, costs, and strategy.
