Open Research Team (2025) University of Lancashire Research Data Management Policy. [DataSet]
Description
In reference to institutional research policies it is useful to define what constitutes research. The University of Lancashire defines research in line with the Frascati Manual definition of research and experimental development1 and in accordance with the REF2021 definition; “research is defined as a process of investigation leading to new insights, effectively shared”
As an institution, the University of Lancashire fully supports open research and open practice. Research data generated at the University is recognised as an institutional asset that when shared openly not only increases the visibility of the University of Lancashire’s research but also facilitates public engagement and creates new opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
In order to be made open access, research data must be created and managed with sharing in mind at every stage of the research process, from planning to publication.
This research data management policy clarifies the University’s expectations concerning the management, storage, publication and sharing of research data. This Policy reflects the University’s intention to establish good research data management practice throughout the research lifecycle as part of the institution’s commitment to research excellence. The policy provides a strategic framework for the management and governance of research data generated by research activities at the University of Lancashire and aims to contribute to readiness for future Research Excellence Framework exercise or similar requirements.
