Manage your research data

The Library offers guidance, training and tools to support data planning, documentation, storage, and sharing. Whether you are developing a research data management plan, seeking secure storage solutions, or preparing to publish datasets, the Library team can help you manage your research data.

Research data management (RDM) refer to the organised handling of data produced throughout the research lifecycle, including planning, collection, storage, sharing and long term preservation.

Good RDM ensures that data is secure, reliable, ethically managed and compliant with institutional, funder and legislative requirements, such as the FAIR and CARE principles. It also makes your research more transparent and reproducible, allowing others to verify and build upon your findings.

Effective RDM benefits researchers by:

  • saving time.
  • reducing risk of data loss.
  • improving data quality.
  • increasing the impact of their work through discoverability and reuse.
