Title
The Data Audit Framework: a toolkit to identify research assets and improve data management in research led institutions
Abstract
Although vast quantities of data are being created within higher education, few institutions have formal stra tegies in place for curating these research outputs in the long- term. Moreover there appears to be a lack of awaren ess as to exactly what data are held and whether they are being managed. In response to these concerns the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) issued a call for proposals to develop and implement a Data Audit Framework suited to the needs of the UK higher education research communities. The Data Audit Framework (DAF) Development project was funded to produce an audit methodology, online toolkit, and a registry. Four additional implementation projects w ere funded to test the toolkit and promote its uptake. This paper outlines the audit methodology, introduces th e online toolkit, and provides feedback on implementi ng the Data Audit Framework.
