We established the Research Data Management Task Force (RDM-TF) at JpGU to support our members’ engagement in Open and FAIR Sciences, and the task force has been active for three years. During this time, we have carried out a range of activities to help members manage and share their research data. Here, we introduce some of these efforts.
One of our activities was to make it easier for JpGU members to use institutional repositories at major research institutions related to the earth and planetary sciences and environmental sciences in Japan. To this end, we compiled a list of well-developed institutional repositories and made it available on the JpGU website.
We also discussed how data repositories for Earth and planetary sciences should be developed in Japan. Through these discussions, we learned that JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) was planning a new data repository. We then shared the needs and requests of the Earth and planetary science community with JST and supported the creation of a more user-friendly system. As a result, a new data repository called GRANTS Data was launched on November 27 last year. We plan to continue promoting this repository and encouraging its wider use.
Alongside these initiatives, we are also exploring ways to further encourage research data management and the development of institutional repositories at universities throughout Japan.
