What is Research Data Management?

What is Research Data Management?
“Research data management concerns the organisation of data, from its entry to the
research cycle through to the dissemination and archiving of valuable results. It aims to ensure reliable verification of results, and permits new and innovative research built on
existing information."

Why bother?
![Page 6: Planning for Research Data Management: 26th January 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/588a7d101a28abad628b4d83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Or even worse...
![Page 7: Planning for Research Data Management: 26th January 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/588a7d101a28abad628b4d83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Good data management...• Helps you work more
efficiently and effectively– Save time and reduce
frustration– Highlight patterns or
connections that might otherwise be missed
• Enable data re-use and sharing
• Allow you to meet funders’ and institutional requirements

Benefits of data sharing...

OU Principles of Research Data Management
“Research data must be managed to the highest standards throughout their life-cycle in order to support excellence in research practice.
In keeping with OU principles of open-ness, it is expected that research data will be open and accessible to other researchers, as soon as appropriate and verifiable, subject to the application of appropriate safeguards relating to the sensitivity of the data and legal requirements.”
OU Principles of Research Data Management, April 2013http://intranet.open.ac.uk/research-school/strategy-info-governance/docs/CoPamendedJuly2013mergedwithappendix-forintranet.pdf

Data Management Planning
• Make informed decisions to anticipate and avoid problems
• Avoid duplication, data loss and security breaches
• Develop procedures early on for consistency
• Ensure data are accurate, complete, reliable and secure
• Save time and effort – make your life easier!
Data Management Plans are useful whenever you are creating data to:

“Give a rough idea of data volume. Say where and on what media you will store data, and how they will be backed-up. Mention security measures to protect data which are sensitive or valuable.”
5. Short-term storage and data management
![Page 33: Planning for Research Data Management: 26th January 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/588a7d101a28abad628b4d83/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

• Thinking ahead will help when you need to share/archive your data
• Define processes at project start. • Think about:
– File naming and versioning– File directory structure– Metadata – File formats– Quality assurance– Data security

“Consider what data are worth selecting for long-term access and preservation and how you will need to prepare those data for archiving. Say where you intend to deposit the data.”
6. Deposit and long-term preservation
![Page 40: Planning for Research Data Management: 26th January 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/588a7d101a28abad628b4d83/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
6. Deposit and long-term preservationDeciding what to keep:•Raw data
•Derived data
•Data underpinning publications
•Code
•Methods
What are research data in your context?What would others need to understand your research?
![Page 41: Planning for Research Data Management: 26th January 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/588a7d101a28abad628b4d83/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
6. Deposit and long-term preservation
To allow long-term access to data:•Don't use obscure formats•Don't use obscure media•Don't rely on technology being available•Provide sufficient documentation
![Page 42: Planning for Research Data Management: 26th January 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/588a7d101a28abad628b4d83/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
For preservation, file formats should be…•Unencrypted•Uncompressed•Non-proprietary/patent-encumbered•Open, documented standard•Standard representation (ASCII, Unicode)
Type Recommended Avoid for data sharingTabular data CSV, TSV, SPSS portable Excel
