Data management is increasingly recognised as an essential part of good research practice. Responsibly managed data is important for research integrity, transparency and open science. Many funders now expect data that supports published findings or has potential for reuse in future research to be made publicly available with as few restrictions as possible whenever legal and ethical restrictions allow.
Research data management refers to how you will look after the data you collect or generate during your research. It covers activities such as planning for your data management needs at the start of your project, organising, storing and securing data during your project and ensuring long-term preservation, data sharing and reuse at the end of your project.
