McGill Research Data Management Strategy - v3.0 -
Ěý
Digital technologies are profoundly transforming academic research across all disciplines. The McGill RDM Strategy will remain a living document subject to recurring evaluation and reviews. With the involvement of key stakeholders, the Digital Research Services Hub (DRS) will spearhead new initiatives and efforts to enhance McGill researchers’ knowledge and skills in RDM, while adapting to the evolving requirements and legislations in Quebec, Canada and internationally.
Building on existing initiatives, McGill will continue to lead in developing and leveraging national and international RDM resources to broaden the global impact of its research. We will strengthen our collaborative efforts with recognized RDM organizations and service providers through the DRS to expand McGill’s portfolio of RDM resources. The DRS will also lead the efforts to develop an implementation plan for this institutional strategy with the goal of augmenting RDM support resources and staff at McGill over the next 3 to 5 years. We will focus our initial efforts in raising awareness of RDM best practices through , the and the regular “DRS Drop-in Sessions” to provide training, resources and forums for researchers to connect with subject matter experts from Library, IT and Ethics.
McGill is committed to working in partnership with the Tri-Agency, the Digital Research Alliance of Canada, Canadian Universities, and other stakeholders to ensure the success in adopting innovative RDM practices at the institutional level and beyond.
