About research data management

Your research data are important. Managing, storing, organizing and sharing your research data requires time and effort, but will increase the visibility and impact of your research.

Research data management is the compilation of small practices that make your data easier to find, easier to understand, less likely to be lost, and more likely to be usable during a project or ten years later.
