The key considerations for storage and technical archiving of research data are:

• Choose appropriate storage solutions based on the volume, type, and sensitivity of the data. Options may include local servers, cloud-based storage, external hard drives, or data repositories.
• Redundancy and Backup: Implement redundant storage and backup strategies to safeguard against data loss due to hardware failures, accidental deletions, or cyber-attacks.
• Data Security: Ensure data security through encryption, access controls, and authentication mechanisms to protect sensitive and confidential information.
• Version Control: Establish version control mechanisms to track changes and revisions made to the data over time, enabling researchers to revert to previous states if needed.
• Data Organization: Organize data in a systematic and standardized manner, employing appropriate file naming conventions and folder structures for easy retrieval and management.
