Launch of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy

Earlier this week the Government of Canada released its new Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy. Queen’s University Library provides a Research Data Management Service that includes expertise and consultation on data management concepts and tools that will help you to meet the Data Management Plan and data deposit requirements of the new policy. We’ll work with you to manage your data’s long-term viability using the Portage Data Management Planning Assistant and to deposit your data into the Queen's University Dataverse or a subject repository. 

The library has been engaged with the policy since it was first drafted. During the summer of 2018 a response was coordinated and submitted to the Tri-Agency by the library, the Office of the Vice Principal for Research and Information Technology Services with input sought from the research community. The response included a summary of local actions to be taken and services offered to meet the policy’s recommendations and requirements. 

You can learn more about the policy by reading CARL Portage Welcomes the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy. If you have questions about the policy or the library’s Research Data Management Service contact open.scholarship.services@queensu.ca.
