Monash University Research Data Management Policy and Procedures

In December 2010, Monash University's Academic Board endorsed two key policy documents:

• Monash University Research Data Management Policy
• Research Data Management Procedures for Staff, Adjuncts and Visitors
• Research Data Management Procedures for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Candidates

In adopting this policy and these procedures Monash University:

• commits to improving compliance with the The Australian Code for Responsible Conduct of Research (pdf 508kb)
• supports guidelines and initiatives designed to improve access to publicly funded research data
• commits to managing research data in line with the highest ethical standards in research
• recognises significant value in the data generated by its large investment in research, including value for other researchers or the wider community
• recognises that access to research data can raise the research profile of individuals and institutions, increase returns on public investment, promote open inquiry and debate, and enable innovative uses of data that may not have been foreseen by the researchers at the time of its creation.
