RDM policy development in Canada

This talk will provide an overview of recent policy developments in the area of research data management and sharing in Canada. I will discuss the implementation of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy, which applies to federally funded research; the Office of the Chief Science Advisor’s Roadmap for Open Science, which applies to research by the Government of Canada’s science-based departments and agencies; and initiatives by Canadian journals and research institutions to promote research data management and sharing. The talk will provide background for an unconference-style ‘birds of a feathers’ session to discuss the planned implementation of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy’s Data Deposit Requirement.
