Abstract
Researching “in the open” - a practice of releasing interim or draft outputs, early data sets and project planning documents during the course of project activity - requires that researchers and projects take control over curating their own outputs and data. Using a utilization-focused evaluation (UFE) framework, this paper outlines the Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D) curation strategy and evaluation of the project objective. Opportunities and challenges in developing and evaluating a curation strategy for large-scale open research projects are highlighted. An objective of ROER4D is to curate research documents produced, and data collected, as open data.
