During the course of this project there were three key achievements: contribution to the Environmental Assessment Report, the composition of a discussion paper 'Towards a Research Data Management Policy for UCA' and as a result of this the creation of a Research Data Management (RDM) policy. The areas of communication, dissemination, collaboration and an increased understanding of research data management are four key areas which have emerged as a result of this project. Underpinning these areas has been the development of relationships with key stake-holders within UCA and also the participation in external events and training. The following case study will outline the background, challenges, approach and lessons learned from the experience of working on the Kaptur project.
The overall objective of the JISC funded Kaptur project (October 2011 - March 2013) is to discover, create and pilot a sectoral model of best practice in the management of research data in the visual arts. This report outlines findings from the first workpackage, environmental assessment, based on the following research question: What is the nature of visual arts research data? Appendix A provides detail on the methodology; data was gathered from a literature review and 16 face-to-face interviews with visual arts researchers; four at each partner institution: Glasgow School of Art; Goldsmiths, University of London; University for the Creative Arts; and University of the Arts London.
