Research Data Management

Data is a key research asset, underpinning almost all published research conclusions. In recent years, new technology has enabled us to:

1. Generate and record far more data than ever before; and
2. Share, reuse and combine that data in new ways to generate new insights.

Research data is increasingly a first-class research output, and a little bit of planning will enable you to take advantage of this shift.

This course will highlight key considerations for managing research data to help you minimize the risk of data loss, maintain data reliability and accuracy, ensure that your data are findable, accessible, and reusable, and facilitate data sharing with colleagues and the wider research community.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this workshop you will be able to:

• Organise, document and safeguard data in a straightforward research project
• Identify areas where you need additional help managing your data
• Explain the benefits of sharing research data and reasons it might not be appropriate to do so
• Assess what data you need to archive for the long term and why
• Choose where to deposit your data for preservation and, optionally, sharing
