Have you assessed your infrastructure and services and have you considered potential collaborations with data centres?
Do you offer guidance and support to researchers at your institution to enable researchers to comply with your policy?
Have you made provisions to provide incentives to researchers for making their research data open? (e.g. open data as a formal criterion for career progression?)
Have you established a monitoring and compliance mechanism?
Have you decided how and when to evaluate the efficacy of your policy?
