Other Relevant Strategies and Policies

To formalize responsible RDM practices, ECU may need to develop guidelines and/or policies related to RDM. Some of these policies may be related to data deposit and include data quality and standards, data retention, and long-term data preservation. ECU may also consider policies related to unfunded research and student research, including undergraduate and graduate. Guideline and policy development would specifically focus on alignment with the evolving digital research infrastructure landscape, funder requirements, publisher requirements, data governance practices, and Indigenous data sovereignty principles. Documentation would outline researcher responsibility vis-a-vis Tri-Agency policy and reiterate compliance expectations for researchers.
