Research Data Management material and training is available, including new web pages giving specific general and funder based guidance and related data planning guidance documents.
Research Data Management (RDM) is not a single issue, it presents many challenges and raises many questions throughout the research lifecycle, from the moment an idea forms to the completion of research, publication, and subsequent use of findings to inform sharing of ideas and stimulate new research.
This website follows that lifecycle, providing advice and support, pointing to many internal and external resources. It aims to reflect the constantly changing research data context, to allow you as a researcher to dip into the site to easily find assistance as and when you need it.
Research Data Management applies across all disciplines (American Studies to Zoology) and to many forms of research data e.g. interview notes, survey data, lab notebooks, text corpora, etc.
"The scientific process is enhanced by managing and sharing research data. Good research data management practice allows reliable verification of results and permits new and innovative research built on existing information." JISC
