      abstract = {This Report examines the legal framework within which  research data is generated, managed, disseminated and used.  It provides an overview of the operation of copyright law,  contract and confidentiality laws, as well as a range of  legislation - privacy, public records and freedom of  information legislation – that is of relevance to research  data. The Report considers how these legal rules apply to  define rights in research data and regulate the generation,  management and sharing of data. The Report also describes  and explains current practices and attitudes towards data  sharing. A wide array of databases is analysed to ascertain  the arrangements currently in place to manage and provide  access to research data. Finally, the Report encourages  researchers and research organisations to adopt proper  management and legal frameworks for research data outputs.  It provides practical guidance on the development and  implementation of legal frameworks for data management with  the objective of ensuring that research data can be  accessed and used by other researchers.},
