Research: vision
2020
In 2020 the research environment is increasingly global and interdisciplinary with collaboration and supporting infrastructure crossing these boundaries. Researchers sharing data and
universities supporting its management is now business as usual. Likewise open access is now the default for articles, and increasingly for monographs and other outputs, including data,
workflows and software. Most publications have moved away from re-creating print in an online world. Peer review remains the cornerstone of research publication, though a number of
methods are becoming common, include post and open peer review; just one of a number of innovations which are reducing the time to publication.
Openness and collaboration is becoming recognised as critically important to research. A new generation of open systems and services are enabling a more efficient and transparent
environment. Information is shared and often automatically gathered or generated. Indicators and statistics are available to all, and used by decision makers and researchers alike to inform
their work. Data intensive research drawing on multiple sources is becoming the norm in many disciplines and infrastructure support virtual and machine access.
ResearchManagement
dataand
outputs
Researchers use virtual machines across networks
allowing access to and analysis of secure and very big
data. Teams including researchers, data scientists and
research technologists are now common place across
disciplines from the arts to bio-science.
creationand
collaboration
Applying for funding is supported by tools and open
systems. Much of the information required is
automatically gathered and submitted. Post award
reporting needs are met with minimum intervention.

Open decentralised networks across the web enable
researchers, the public and machines to collaborate at scale.
The needs of policy and processes have resulted in
institutions recording standardised and open metadata
about research, increasingly automatically generated.
Identifiers are now commonly used for the actors, objects
and organisations within the research environment.
The research environment is more sophisticated and
complex than it has ever been. While tools can help unlock
new research, they can come with a steep learning curve.
Researchers need a sophisticated mix of skills and a variety
of resources to meet these needs.
Researchers and funders use a new generation of indicators
and metrics to help them assess and review research. These
indicators are built on an emerging new open infrastructure
supporting a more transparent research environment.
Publication doesn’t just mean a PDF. By bringing together
the underlying components of research, such as data,
charts, formula and software, researchers and learners
have access to richer information.
Research and publication systems are inter-connected to
share information in an open environment, saving the
time of researchers and support staff, while ensuring
services and reporting are accurate and current.
New big datasets are available, many of which from sources
outside of academia such as commercial organisations. New
rights and access arrangements need to be agreed and adhered
to. Privacy and security continue to be critical aspects.
Dissemination
andreuse
Researchers think nothing of quickly searching for
specific data to aid their research. Making use of the data,
and linking it to other data sets, becomes ever easier and
more sophisticated.
Research outputs in some disciplines increasingly contain
the underlying data, methods, and software used by the
researcher. Tools are available to automatically process
the output and re-create the process, either to confirm the
result, or using different inputs.
The outputs of research are increasingly disseminated beyond
the academy. New services enable those in industry, government
and the knowledge economy to easily discover and consume
highly relevant research for their requirements, resulting in
informed policy decisions and new partnerships and
commercial opportunities.
Research: vision
2030
The Research Environment has the researcher at the centre though is now highly complemented by the power of advanced digital technologies which can help mine and process
information, in quantities unthinkable before, but with a sophistication previously only thought possible by humans.
Underpinning this is a vast field of research data. Discovery tools understand each dataset’s structure and implicit relationships with other sources of data. Finding relevant data, customised
for the researcher’s needs, is no harder than a simple Google Search today.
ResearchManagement
dataand
outputs
Digital research assistants support the researcher through
every stage of the research process, from suggesting potential
collaborations – sometimes in diverse disciplines – to marking
up outputs with metadata and suggesting reviewers. Saving
the researcher time, and opening new opportunities.
Research is exploited to extract the maximum benefit and
opportunity, for the organisation, nationally and globally.
Research organisations work in a sustainable global research
environment with multiple-partnerships. Ethical frameworks
and collaboration are increasingly vital.
creationand
collaboration
Researcher’s pose questions to their digital research
assistant, which mine and processes vast amounts of
information, even running experiments and scenarios on
what it finds to provide an answer.

Dissemination
andreuse
New forms of rewards and recognition have emerged for
research and the activities around research, such as peer
review. This has impact across the research lifecycle, from
applying for grants to reviewing outputs (and the weight given
to their comments).
Social machines and technology-enabled social systems
have become business as usual, solving complex problems
at a large scale
Publicly available data is now disrupting our lives in ways we never expected, just as the web
did before it. No longer just silos of data, now vast interconnected pools of information.
Discovery tools are able to transverse and process petabytes of information almost instantly to
provide customised ‘datasets’, and with a simplicity such that training is irrelevant.
Research: what could Jisc contribute?
2020
Jisc will work with relevant partners from all sectors to help to develop new services that help to realise this vision. Some of our existing projects have started to address some of these areas
and we will continue to develop these to meet the vision. Some areas of the vision will require new development work to be started. In all of this work Jisc will follow the same basic principles:
»» Wherever possible, Jisc will seek to work with existing technology and experts rather than starting from scratch
»» In all projects, Jisc will work closely with universities and researchers to scope and develop solutions
»» Jisc will use a variety of approaches and innovative collaborations and partnerships to sustain and develop new services
This page of the vision will continue to change and develop as new ideas emerge or existing ones develop.

Research Data Usage and metrics service
Jisc are currently building a research data usage
statistics reporting tool.
Success rates for grant applications overall have been going down and the
competition is getting ever harder. Gill has been regularly using services
that provide updates on potential sources of funding. Well established tools
have automated the process of submitting applications allowing her to
focus on her research. The use of open standards and identifiers have
simplified the whole process, internal research information systems and
funder systems use notifications to remove duplication and to ensure all
stakeholders are informed.
A key trend in scientific research is the use of intelligent machine-learning
tools to uncover new results from existing data. This has impacted on
research grant funding which is now supporting this new generation of
experimental data. Faster networks and transfer of data has removed the
bottleneck that once delayed Gill’s work. Researchers have easy access to
all the training they need online so they are highly digitally literate. The
multiple skills of a research technologist have been recognised and
supported by institutions and funders. Gill’s data and research outputs are
now available according to FAIR principles of being findable, accessible,
interoperable and re-useable.
Gill began sketching her group’s path to the Research Excellence framework
(REF) some time back, with support from her institution’s library. She had
ensured all her work was REF eligible by using tools to check it was in a
repository, now an automated process, and meeting other REF requirements.
She has also started to pay attention to transparent impact and citation
indices and she can see where the numbers come from and has ideas for
how to drive improvement. So even though getting research funding was
not getting any easier, Gill has plenty of opportunities to continue her excellent
research and looks forward to the REF2020 outcomes with confidence.
2. Ensure research has impact and
engages a wide range of people
Gill has begun collaborating with library colleagues to explore new ways of
publishing academic research which are becoming common. This includes
dynamic links to data and other research artefacts that can be updated in
real time, alongside similar work from commercial publishers. This has led
to transformations in the impact of research enabling different views to be
provided on the outputs tailored to different audiences. This is all being
provided as part of a new open digital library space that allows members of
the public to engage as well as people working in the private sector. The
government have been supporting this initiative as they can see how it
promotes innovation and benefits the UK economy.

time applying for funding,
overseeing the activities of
researchers in her group, and
contributing to the writing up of

Research: vignettes
Through a research equipment sharing portal, David was able to access
and hire specialist research equipment from a university in the same
region. This was relatively low cost for his institution and made good use of
equipment that would otherwise have been left standing idle. Some of
David’s research was part of a wider international collaboration which
included some partners from industry. While his own university did not
have high performance computing, he was able to use his partners’
facilities, as well as national services, as easily as if they were on his own
doorstep thanks to the university’s powerful and fast network.
2.Use the latest research methods
David’s research projects are all interdisciplinary. Some of his research makes
use of social machines – a decentralised process of capturing large scale
interactions between humans and machines to develop new knowledge.
David has become highly skilled at using text and data mining techniques
on research outputs from similar disciplines around the globe, alongside
his own data, to reinforce his research findings. This has led to a couple of
publications that have started to establish David’s reputation in his field. He
used one platform that allowed him to ‘publish’ all of his research methods
and findings as he went. Ensuring his publications and underlying data,
software and tools are made openly available ensures that his work can be
processed in the same way, using the same techniques by other researchers,
enabling potential new discoveries.
David was a PhD student when he was recruited, this was thanks to a grant
that his employer received. His employer arranged induction and training
managed by the Doctoral Training Centre. In turn he benefited from evolved,
digitally supported, research methods training for ethics board submissions,
statistics, IPR and computing. Training on research tools and issues around
big data, such as handling data at scale, storage and distributed processing,
has helped stress the importance of preserving the underlying data and
software that form the basis of his research as well as making it accessible
to inter-disciplinary colleagues and the wider public.
2020
1. Access information to
improve skills
David
Researcher
David has strong early career
research success, positive REF 2014
results, an enthusiastic research
group, and positive personal
impact metrics.
2030
David’s regular training and support has ensured he has kept up-to-date on
new research tools and the latest techniques and algorithms. Constantly
developing his skills has kept him at the forefront of his area of research.
The ability to go back and obtain historical data and then repeat, tune, and
check analysis and even sometimes recreate experimental conditions has
made his research more robust, and has helped to dispel public cynicism
around commercially funded research. He has started to work on a range
of data sources although some agreements are still a little opaque.

Research: vignettes
REF2021 is going to be the most important yet in refining and focusing
government research funding. The adoption of open standardised metrics
has ensured open and transparent access to comparable outputs across
research-intensive universities. Using an open research dashboard, Jasmin
is able to see how her institution’s metrics compare to others and be
confident of hitting the strategic goals her institution has set. The research
office processes have become a lot smoother since the introduction of the
research data management shared service and she can be confident that
the anxious hand-crafting of the final REF return in 2014 was something
that would not be repeated.
There has been an intensive debate again within the university as to who
should be included in the REF submission, so the ability to make such
decisions on the basis of new, transparent and open metrics, as well as peer
review, has been a great step forward.Looking ahead, however good the REF
outcome, Jasmin still faced the prospect of her university needing to do
more with less. So she was planning to foster much greater use of shared
equipment via neighbouring institutions or national facilities and use of
centralised HPC power. As well as saving money, this approach offered the
intriguing possibility of supporting cross disciplinary work using shared
equipment. She has also been exploring how she can track the effectiveness
of this activity via research activity analytics. So while times ahead may be
tough, she feels her university is well organised and that she can spend her
time on achieving strategic goals rather than intensive administrative efforts.
2020
1. Ensure her institution’s research is well
managed and meets strategic goals
2. Ensure her institution hits
research targets
Jasmin
Associate Dean of Research
It is Jasmin’s job to raise the research
profile and ranking of her University
2030
Information about research and indicators of its impact are now abundant,
yet the effort required from researchers and administrators has been greatly
reduced, partly due to systems in the open research environment frictionlessly
sharing information. The most recent REF was supported by a range of
transparent metrics and Jasmin has full access to these in the preparations
beforehand. ‘Big science’ areas still continue to flourish, relying on peta-bit
connectivity between public and private organisations, and major research
labs. Having a science ‘demilitarised zone’ (DMZ) within the institution has
ensured data no longer takes weeks to be transferred. This is complemented
by growing analysis of existing and new big data sources, which are continuing
to drive major new discoveries in the sciences and humanities alike.
As the majority of data is now being made available via open access, Jasmin
is having to spend much less time on putting in place agreements for access
to the major big datasets and new forms of data as they emerge. Access to
these datasets is now seamless with tools to bring diverse datasets together
as one coherent whole. International collaboration with multiple partners
has become the norm, helped by faster networks, collaborative platforms,
adoption of open standards and open access. Interdisciplinary research
has flourished enabled by tools and techniques utilising ‘big data’. Arts and
humanities are at the forefront of innovation alongside the sciences. Jasmin
uses analytics tools to monitor her university’s performance in these
international collaborations and the impact of the research. The Analytics
available to her now include engagement with stakeholders outside traditional
research, including government, businesses, and the community.

Jisc visions: research

  • 1. Research: vision 2020 In 2020 the research environment is increasingly global and interdisciplinary with collaboration and supporting infrastructure crossing these boundaries. Researchers sharing data and universities supporting its management is now business as usual. Likewise open access is now the default for articles, and increasingly for monographs and other outputs, including data, workflows and software. Most publications have moved away from re-creating print in an online world. Peer review remains the cornerstone of research publication, though a number of methods are becoming common, include post and open peer review; just one of a number of innovations which are reducing the time to publication. Openness and collaboration is becoming recognised as critically important to research. A new generation of open systems and services are enabling a more efficient and transparent environment. Information is shared and often automatically gathered or generated. Indicators and statistics are available to all, and used by decision makers and researchers alike to inform their work. Data intensive research drawing on multiple sources is becoming the norm in many disciplines and infrastructure support virtual and machine access. ResearchManagement dataand outputs Researchers use virtual machines across networks allowing access to and analysis of secure and very big data. Teams including researchers, data scientists and research technologists are now common place across disciplines from the arts to bio-science. creationand collaboration Applying for funding is supported by tools and open systems. Much of the information required is automatically gathered and submitted. Post award reporting needs are met with minimum intervention. 1 Open decentralised networks across the web enable researchers, the public and machines to collaborate at scale. The needs of policy and processes have resulted in institutions recording standardised and open metadata about research, increasingly automatically generated. Identifiers are now commonly used for the actors, objects and organisations within the research environment. The research environment is more sophisticated and complex than it has ever been. While tools can help unlock new research, they can come with a steep learning curve. Researchers need a sophisticated mix of skills and a variety of resources to meet these needs. Researchers and funders use a new generation of indicators and metrics to help them assess and review research. These indicators are built on an emerging new open infrastructure supporting a more transparent research environment. Publication doesn’t just mean a PDF. By bringing together the underlying components of research, such as data, charts, formula and software, researchers and learners have access to richer information. Research and publication systems are inter-connected to share information in an open environment, saving the time of researchers and support staff, while ensuring services and reporting are accurate and current. New big datasets are available, many of which from sources outside of academia such as commercial organisations. New rights and access arrangements need to be agreed and adhered to. Privacy and security continue to be critical aspects. Dissemination andreuse Researchers think nothing of quickly searching for specific data to aid their research. Making use of the data, and linking it to other data sets, becomes ever easier and more sophisticated. Research outputs in some disciplines increasingly contain the underlying data, methods, and software used by the researcher. Tools are available to automatically process the output and re-create the process, either to confirm the result, or using different inputs. The outputs of research are increasingly disseminated beyond the academy. New services enable those in industry, government and the knowledge economy to easily discover and consume highly relevant research for their requirements, resulting in informed policy decisions and new partnerships and commercial opportunities.
  • 2. Research: vision 2030 The Research Environment has the researcher at the centre though is now highly complemented by the power of advanced digital technologies which can help mine and process information, in quantities unthinkable before, but with a sophistication previously only thought possible by humans. Underpinning this is a vast field of research data. Discovery tools understand each dataset’s structure and implicit relationships with other sources of data. Finding relevant data, customised for the researcher’s needs, is no harder than a simple Google Search today. ResearchManagement dataand outputs Digital research assistants support the researcher through every stage of the research process, from suggesting potential collaborations – sometimes in diverse disciplines – to marking up outputs with metadata and suggesting reviewers. Saving the researcher time, and opening new opportunities. Research is exploited to extract the maximum benefit and opportunity, for the organisation, nationally and globally. Research organisations work in a sustainable global research environment with multiple-partnerships. Ethical frameworks and collaboration are increasingly vital. creationand collaboration Researcher’s pose questions to their digital research assistant, which mine and processes vast amounts of information, even running experiments and scenarios on what it finds to provide an answer. 2 Dissemination andreuse New forms of rewards and recognition have emerged for research and the activities around research, such as peer review. This has impact across the research lifecycle, from applying for grants to reviewing outputs (and the weight given to their comments). Social machines and technology-enabled social systems have become business as usual, solving complex problems at a large scale Publicly available data is now disrupting our lives in ways we never expected, just as the web did before it. No longer just silos of data, now vast interconnected pools of information. Discovery tools are able to transverse and process petabytes of information almost instantly to provide customised ‘datasets’, and with a simplicity such that training is irrelevant.
  • 3. Research: what could Jisc contribute? 2020 Jisc will work with relevant partners from all sectors to help to develop new services that help to realise this vision. Some of our existing projects have started to address some of these areas and we will continue to develop these to meet the vision. Some areas of the vision will require new development work to be started. In all of this work Jisc will follow the same basic principles: »» Wherever possible, Jisc will seek to work with existing technology and experts rather than starting from scratch »» In all projects, Jisc will work closely with universities and researchers to scope and develop solutions »» Jisc will use a variety of approaches and innovative collaborations and partnerships to sustain and develop new services This page of the vision will continue to change and develop as new ideas emerge or existing ones develop. ResearchManagement dataand outputs Digital capability for research Could a transformative skills online training offer empower an emerging population of world class researchers? Shared research equipment portal A national portal that automatically discovers, harvests and aggregates data about institutional facilities and equipment across the UK. creationand collaboration Citation experiment Jisc are investigating new forms of research citation and measures that could offer more accurate and transparent methods of measuring research impact based on an open approach. 3 Research Data Managent Jisc are developing a service to enable researchers to easily deposit data for publication, discovery, safe storage and long term archiving. Dissemination andreuse Reliable new research metrics Can we build the data infrastructure that underpins metrics and indicators so that UK research is at the cutting edge and supports open scholarship? The next generation research environment Could an intelligent digital research assistant become a must-have tool for academic research and open scholarship? Responsive interoperable research management environment Can we build the technical infrastructure so research systems automatically share information about research outputs, processes and data? Research Data Discovery Jisc is working towards a UK research data discovery service that joins up with other international effort and the UK OA infrastructure. Beyond the PDF Could a next generation scholarly communications platform enable new forms of research outputs and new channels for dissemination? Big data - smart research Could a shared big data research platform transform research? Intelligent system for research and publication Could a service largely automate the steps of article publication, easing life for authors and reducing costs? Reach out with research Could a current research outputs application uncover the value of research to all? Replicating research Could new tools and methods for sharing research enable machines to replicate experiments with ease? Research Data Usage and metrics service Jisc are currently building a research data usage statistics reporting tool.
  • 4. Success rates for grant applications overall have been going down and the competition is getting ever harder. Gill has been regularly using services that provide updates on potential sources of funding. Well established tools have automated the process of submitting applications allowing her to focus on her research. The use of open standards and identifiers have simplified the whole process, internal research information systems and funder systems use notifications to remove duplication and to ensure all stakeholders are informed. A key trend in scientific research is the use of intelligent machine-learning tools to uncover new results from existing data. This has impacted on research grant funding which is now supporting this new generation of experimental data. Faster networks and transfer of data has removed the bottleneck that once delayed Gill’s work. Researchers have easy access to all the training they need online so they are highly digitally literate. The multiple skills of a research technologist have been recognised and supported by institutions and funders. Gill’s data and research outputs are now available according to FAIR principles of being findable, accessible, interoperable and re-useable. Gill began sketching her group’s path to the Research Excellence framework (REF) some time back, with support from her institution’s library. She had ensured all her work was REF eligible by using tools to check it was in a repository, now an automated process, and meeting other REF requirements. She has also started to pay attention to transparent impact and citation indices and she can see where the numbers come from and has ideas for how to drive improvement. So even though getting research funding was not getting any easier, Gill has plenty of opportunities to continue her excellent research and looks forward to the REF2020 outcomes with confidence. 2. Ensure research has impact and engages a wide range of people Gill has begun collaborating with library colleagues to explore new ways of publishing academic research which are becoming common. This includes dynamic links to data and other research artefacts that can be updated in real time, alongside similar work from commercial publishers. This has led to transformations in the impact of research enabling different views to be provided on the outputs tailored to different audiences. This is all being provided as part of a new open digital library space that allows members of the public to engage as well as people working in the private sector. The government have been supporting this initiative as they can see how it promotes innovation and benefits the UK economy. 2020 1. Obtain grant funding Gill Prinicipal investigator Gill is the principal researcher on a number of large-scale research projects. She spends much of her time applying for funding, overseeing the activities of researchers in her group, and contributing to the writing up of publications. 2030 4 Research: vignettes
  • 5. Through a research equipment sharing portal, David was able to access and hire specialist research equipment from a university in the same region. This was relatively low cost for his institution and made good use of equipment that would otherwise have been left standing idle. Some of David’s research was part of a wider international collaboration which included some partners from industry. While his own university did not have high performance computing, he was able to use his partners’ facilities, as well as national services, as easily as if they were on his own doorstep thanks to the university’s powerful and fast network. 2.Use the latest research methods David’s research projects are all interdisciplinary. Some of his research makes use of social machines – a decentralised process of capturing large scale interactions between humans and machines to develop new knowledge. David has become highly skilled at using text and data mining techniques on research outputs from similar disciplines around the globe, alongside his own data, to reinforce his research findings. This has led to a couple of publications that have started to establish David’s reputation in his field. He used one platform that allowed him to ‘publish’ all of his research methods and findings as he went. Ensuring his publications and underlying data, software and tools are made openly available ensures that his work can be processed in the same way, using the same techniques by other researchers, enabling potential new discoveries. David was a PhD student when he was recruited, this was thanks to a grant that his employer received. His employer arranged induction and training managed by the Doctoral Training Centre. In turn he benefited from evolved, digitally supported, research methods training for ethics board submissions, statistics, IPR and computing. Training on research tools and issues around big data, such as handling data at scale, storage and distributed processing, has helped stress the importance of preserving the underlying data and software that form the basis of his research as well as making it accessible to inter-disciplinary colleagues and the wider public. 2020 1. Access information to improve skills David Researcher David has strong early career research success, positive REF 2014 results, an enthusiastic research group, and positive personal impact metrics. 2030 David’s regular training and support has ensured he has kept up-to-date on new research tools and the latest techniques and algorithms. Constantly developing his skills has kept him at the forefront of his area of research. The ability to go back and obtain historical data and then repeat, tune, and check analysis and even sometimes recreate experimental conditions has made his research more robust, and has helped to dispel public cynicism around commercially funded research. He has started to work on a range of data sources although some agreements are still a little opaque. 5 Research: vignettes
  • 6. REF2021 is going to be the most important yet in refining and focusing government research funding. The adoption of open standardised metrics has ensured open and transparent access to comparable outputs across research-intensive universities. Using an open research dashboard, Jasmin is able to see how her institution’s metrics compare to others and be confident of hitting the strategic goals her institution has set. The research office processes have become a lot smoother since the introduction of the research data management shared service and she can be confident that the anxious hand-crafting of the final REF return in 2014 was something that would not be repeated. There has been an intensive debate again within the university as to who should be included in the REF submission, so the ability to make such decisions on the basis of new, transparent and open metrics, as well as peer review, has been a great step forward.Looking ahead, however good the REF outcome, Jasmin still faced the prospect of her university needing to do more with less. So she was planning to foster much greater use of shared equipment via neighbouring institutions or national facilities and use of centralised HPC power. As well as saving money, this approach offered the intriguing possibility of supporting cross disciplinary work using shared equipment. She has also been exploring how she can track the effectiveness of this activity via research activity analytics. So while times ahead may be tough, she feels her university is well organised and that she can spend her time on achieving strategic goals rather than intensive administrative efforts. 2020 1. Ensure her institution’s research is well managed and meets strategic goals 2. Ensure her institution hits research targets Jasmin Associate Dean of Research It is Jasmin’s job to raise the research profile and ranking of her University 2030 Information about research and indicators of its impact are now abundant, yet the effort required from researchers and administrators has been greatly reduced, partly due to systems in the open research environment frictionlessly sharing information. The most recent REF was supported by a range of transparent metrics and Jasmin has full access to these in the preparations beforehand. ‘Big science’ areas still continue to flourish, relying on peta-bit connectivity between public and private organisations, and major research labs. Having a science ‘demilitarised zone’ (DMZ) within the institution has ensured data no longer takes weeks to be transferred. This is complemented by growing analysis of existing and new big data sources, which are continuing to drive major new discoveries in the sciences and humanities alike. As the majority of data is now being made available via open access, Jasmin is having to spend much less time on putting in place agreements for access to the major big datasets and new forms of data as they emerge. Access to these datasets is now seamless with tools to bring diverse datasets together as one coherent whole. International collaboration with multiple partners has become the norm, helped by faster networks, collaborative platforms, adoption of open standards and open access. Interdisciplinary research has flourished enabled by tools and techniques utilising ‘big data’. Arts and humanities are at the forefront of innovation alongside the sciences. Jasmin uses analytics tools to monitor her university’s performance in these international collaborations and the impact of the research. The Analytics available to her now include engagement with stakeholders outside traditional research, including government, businesses, and the community. 6 Research: vignettes
