The JISC-funded CERIFy Project in which the lead partners are UKOLN and Trinity College Dublin, has announced the opening of its Web site. The CERIFy Project is funded by JISC from February to July 2011 to investigate how the CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) standard for Current Research Information Systems (CRISs) could be used more widely within the sector to manage research data, to increase such engagement to a critical mass, and to support an emerging community of practice in Research Information Management (RIM). Further information on CERIF, CERIFy and its partner institutions is available from the CERIFy Web site.

Engineering Research Data Management Planning Requirements
Monday, February 21st, 2011The ERIM (Engineering Research Information Management) Project has released four documents related to data management planning requirements. The first is a set of principles for engineering research data management. The second is a thematic analysis of the guidance given by five organisations on writing data management plans (DMPs). The outcomes of the analysis and the principles were used to construct a DMP requirement specification for engineering researchers and their departments. This in turn was used to plan support for DMP-writing in an engineering research centre at Bath, and provide specific DMP requirements for its researchers.
The ERIM Project is part of JISC’s Managing Research Data Programme, looking at data management planning in EPSRC-funded projects. It is a collaboration between the Innovative design and Manufacturing Research Centre (IdMRC) at the University of Bath and UKOLN, representing the Digital Curation Centre.
Patients Participate! Project Funded by JISC
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011JISC has just announced funding for the Patients Participate! Project in its Developing Community Content strand. Patients Participate! is led by UKOLN in collaboration with the British Library and the Association of Medical Research Charities.
