摘要

Within the area of Scholarly Communication, many things are changing rapidly today. One of these changes concerns how research data is viewed and valued. Different stakeholders demonstrate an unprecedented level of interest in how researchers communicate their findings (Jubb 2013). Governments, universities and research funders, among them actors as the OECD and the EU, are currently formulating digital data policies that requires granted research projects to develop plans for their data management. Researchers receiving funding are expected to develop data management plans where data storage, handling and access is specified. Within scholarly communication research data as new actors are predicted to become "recognized as significant scholarly contributions in their own right" (Hey et al. 2009).
