Learning

Explore a constantly evolving teaching area with various learning resources related to research data management (RDM).

For beginners

RDM basics: what is it?

Eight ideas carry most of research data management. Know these and the rest follows.

1

FAIR principles

Findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable: the measure of well-kept data.

2

Data life cycle

Data has stages, from planning to archive. Each one deserves a decision.

3

Metadata

Data about your data: the part that makes it findable and understandable later.

4

Storage

No backup, no mercy. Where your data lives decides whether it survives.

5

Organization

Private or group structures: agree on folders, names and versions before the chaos starts.

6

Repositories

Publish data sets so others can find, cite and reuse them.

7

Persistent identifiers

A PID keeps your data citable even when servers and URLs change.

8

Archiving

What must remain after the project ends, and for how long.
