This talk presents the recent activities of the RDM-TF in JpGU. Research data management is an important trend in the world. Based on this recent trend in science, our government asked us to make a data management plan and to store the data generated by the government-funded projects in the reliable data repository. This new policy is favorable to accelerate the preparation of the open science platform in Japan. This new program will start from the research projects funded this year. Therefore, researchers in Japan have an urgent need to find the appropriate data repositories, such as their affiliated institutions or universities, to meet the government's requirement. The goal of our RDM-TF is to help our community to use suitable data repositories in Japan by sharing the information of the useful institutional data repository usable in Japan, encouraging the use from outside the institutions, and promoting the creation of a new data repository usable in our community. Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) is now in the process of building a new data repository and plans to open it by the end of this year. Our RDM-TF has contacted JST and exchanged ideas on how to create a user-friendly data repository. Our activity to contact a government agency is useful to create better platforms in open science.
