How This Helps You
Every unassessed data management process in your research organisation increases exposure to data loss, audit failure, and funding withdrawal. With increasing mandates from journals, funders, and ethics boards requiring rigorous data governance, operating without a validated assessment framework puts your projects at risk. This self-assessment enables you to proactively validate compliance across all research data lifecycle stages, from collection and curation to sharing and archiving. By systematically scoring current practices, you gain executive-level visibility into where to allocate resources, justify infrastructure investments, and demonstrate accountability. Organisations that fail to implement structured data governance assessments face delayed publications, rejected grant applications, and eroded collaboration trust. This dataset turns ambiguity into action, transforming scattered policies into an auditable, defensible research data programme.
Who Is This For?
- Research Data Managers needing a repeatable method to assess and improve institutional data practices
- University Research Office Leads responsible for ensuring compliance with national and international open science mandates
