Research Data Management
What is this about?
The University of Edinburghs Research Data Service provides a suite of tools and support that helps staff and students be effective with their research data before, during and after their project.
Why is this important?
Sharing and responsibly managing data produced or re-used in a research project is required by funders and publishers, and supports open scholarship. The outcomes of good RDM are that the rights of data subjects/owners are protected and that data is archived towards the end of research so that it remains available for validation of results, and potentially for future re-use. Together with Open Access publishing and other Open things such as Open Source software, managing and providing access to your research data contributes to the modern goal of Open Research/Scholarship/ Science.
