This government document (2007) guides institutions and researchers in responsible research practices, endorsed by both national research funders: National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Research Council.
Significantly, it says that INSTITUTIONS MUST: "... have a policy on the retention of materials and research data; ... provide facilities for the safe and secure storage of research data and for maintaining records of where research data is stored; ... have a policy on the ownership of research materials and data during and following the research project; ... have a policy on the ownership of, and access to, databases and archives that is consistent with confidentiality requirements, legislation, privacy rules and other guidelines."

Following on from the StORe project, a JISC press release announces that UKDA-store will be launched on 30 June 2008 at the NCRM Methods Festival in Oxford. UKDA-store uses repository software to aid researchers to deposit data with the UK Data Archive and to self-archive their data. Astrid Wissenburg, Director of Communication and Information at the ESRC is quoted as saying that "The ESRC welcomes the creation of UKDA-store as a valuable tool for the archiving of social science data, and is complementary to the ESRC's publications repository."
