REWARD is a six-month collaboration between the UCL
Institute of Archaeology, UCL Library
Services and Ubiquity Press,
funded by the JISC. The project is examining ways to
use familiar workflows to encourage the archiving of research data using the
UCL Discovery institutional repository. Researchers are being asked to manage
their data using the Digital Curation Centre’s DMP Online
tool, and then to make the data openly available in the
institutional repository via publishing a data paper in the Journal of Open
Archaeological Data (JOAD). This will
make the data citable and reuse trackable, important factors for the 2014 REF.
Five case studies will be followed during the course of the project in order to
assess the effectiveness of the systems involved.

Background
There is strong support for the archiving, dissemination and reuse of research data from government, funding bodies, institutions and researchers. A recent study has shown that researchers in particular highly value the resulting re-analysis of existing data, its potential for future validation purposes, role in the advancement of science, and potential for stimulating interdisciplinary collaborations [1]. More efficient research through the reuse of data is especially appealing in a tight funding environment.
