Deliverable of „Work Package 3 – Policy Development and Alignment“ of the LEARN Project

Between July 2015 and June 2016, the Library of the University of Vienna (as the leader of „Work Package 3 – Policy Development and Alignment“ of the LEARN Project) collected and analysed over 40 European RDM policies. In the course of this preparation phase it became obvious that in many countries (especially on continental Europe) there have hardly been published any guiding principles regarding RDM. After a further selection process, 20 policies were examined more closely based on (identified) format and content-related criteria. Using an analysis grid, 11 RDM policies from the United Kingdom, four from Germany, one from the Netherlands and four from Finland were evaluated and checked for possible significant changes during this period at regular intervals. A compact overview is also supplemented by a detailed evaluation of the selected policies with extensive comments.
