The Research Data Alliance (RDA) organised workshops on 15 and 20 May 2025, to demonstrate the RDA’s policy impact and encourage implementation of RDA recommendations and outputs in different policy contexts. The workshops focused on critical policy areas that form essential research infrastructure including Journal Research Data Policy Frameworks for establishing consistent data sharing standards across academic publishing.
The Value of RDA for Journal Research Data Policy Frameworks
Journal research data policy frameworks provide a standardised approach to help journals and publishers create or enhance their own research data policy. This paper outlines RDA’s Journal Research Data Policy Framework, which simplifies data policy implementation for publishers, ensures alignment with funder requirements, and improves transparency. Adoption use cases from the STM Association and national initiatives are highlighted to show the framework’s effectiveness in scaling FAIR data sharing practices.
