Subscribers to the CODATA International list may be interested in this new report from Jisc in the UK, which is a study of the economic impact of the British Atmospheric Data Centres.  The team behind this report have done a number of such studies:

1) for Australian National Data Service on the Costs and Benefits of data provision http://ands.org.au/resource/houghton-cost-benefit-study.pdf

2) for the Economic and Social Research Council in the UK on the economic impact of the Economic and Social Research Data Service http://www.esrc.ac.uk/research/evaluation-impact/impact-evaluation/economic-impact-evaluation.aspx

3) for Jisc on the economic impact of the British Atmospheric Data Service (announced below and at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/di_directions/strategicdirections/badc.aspx)

A further study for Jisc of the UK Archaeology Data Service and a synthesis of the three UK studies are forthcoming.

Best wishes,

Simon.

Apologies for any cross-posting
 
Jisc in partnership with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) have commissioned work by Neil Beagrie of Charles Beagrie Ltd and Professor John Houghton of Victoria University to examine the value and impact of the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC).  We are pleased to announce publication today of the study report.
 
The key findings
The study shows the benefits of integrating qualitative approaches exploring user perceptions and non-economic dimensions of value with quantitative economic approaches to measuring the value and impacts of research data services.
 
The measurable economic benefits of BADC substantially exceed its operational costs. A very significant increase in research efficiency was reported by users as a result of their using BADC data and services, estimated to be worth at least £10 million per annum.
 
The value of the increase in return on investment in data  resulting from the additional use facilitated by the BADC was estimated to be between £11 million and £34 million over thirty years (net present value) from one-year’s investment – effectively, a 4-fold to 12-fold return on investment in the BADC service.
 
The qualitative analysis also shows strong support for the BADC, with many users and depositors aware of the value of the services for them personally and for the wider user community.
 
For example, the user survey showed that 81% of the academic users who responded reported that BADC was very or extremely important for their academic research, and 53% of respondents reported that it would have a major or severe impact on their work if they could not access BADC data and services.
 
Surveyed depositors cited having the data preserved for the long-term and its dissemination being targeted to the academic community, as the most beneficial aspects of depositing data with the BADC, both rated as a high or very high benefit by around 76% of respondents.
 
The study report
The study report is available for download as a PDF file at:http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/di_directions/strategicdirections/badc.aspx
 
The British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC)
The BADC, based at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, is the Natural Environment Research Council’s (NERC) Designated Data Centre for the Atmospheric Sciences. Its role is to assist UK atmospheric researchers to locate, access, and interpret atmospheric data and to ensure the long-term integrity of atmospheric data produced by NERC projects. There is also considerable interest from the international research community in BADC data holdings.
