Program Overview

ORDA (Online Research Data) is the hub for managing and publishing research data, code, conference papers, posters, presentations, reports, papers, and much more at the University of Sheffield. ORDA helps researchers to
share research outputs that are not published elsewhere, making their research more discoverable. Researchers can get credit for all published items with a citable, trackable DOI and fulfill funder and publisher open data requirements.

Year publishing activities began: 2015

Organization: Dataset ‘publishing’ is one of a series of responsibility of wider research support provided by the Research Services Unit. The University of Sheffield Library is also a major stakeholder in White Rose University Press which it shares with the Universities of Leeds and York.

Additional Information

Plans for expansion/future directions: We will support the expansion and development of our collaborative Press—White Rose University Press (governed in partnership with the Universities of Leeds and York). We are also interested in and facilitating the publishing of undergraduate research and postgraduate research that falls short of the peer review process and is currently published ad hoc in departments, if at all. We will continue to focus energy on our data repository as part of our overarching support for research data management. The formal direction of the future strategy with regards to library publishing will be clarified in the new Library Content Strategy due 2017–2018.
Alongside the initial publishing of datasets, we are developing methods and processes for their long-term preservation led by our Special Collections and Digital Preservation teams. View All Entries
