The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) through the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) has formed the Malaysia Open Science Alliance that will pave the way towards realizing Malaysia Open Science Platform (MOSP) as a strategic transformative initiative to strengthen STI Collaborative Ecosystem for Malaysia.
The aim of this initiative is to make Malaysia’s research data as a valuable national asset by developing a trusted platform that enables accessibility and sharing of research data aligned to national priorities and international best practices. In relation to this, the Working Group on Capacity Building and Awareness of Malaysia Open Science Alliance is recruiting data steward.
Data Stewards play a crucial role in assisting researchers with the planning, organization, documentation, sharing, and preservation of their data, ensuring adherence to established best practices and institutional policies. By championing the FAIR principles—making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—they enhance the transparency, accessibility, and enduring value of research outputs.
At Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), a Data Steward is an individual tasked with supporting and overseeing research data management throughout its entire lifecycle. This role aligns closely with Open Science initiatives and the university’s data governance framework.
Below is the list of individuals who have been certified as Data Stewards at UPM.
