Research Data Management: An Introduction

*For UoR staff*

Effective management of research data is fundamental to good research practice, and the preservation and sharing of data that enable research findings to be validated and reproduced is required by the University and by many public funders of research.

This course will introduce principles and practices of research data management that will be applicable to researchers at all stages of their careers working with research data in any discipline, whether in the sciences, social sciences or humanities. The course will cover: public funders’ and the University’s research data policies and requirements; data management plans for funding applications; storage, organisation and documentation of data; data quality control; ethics and legal compliance; ownership and rights in data; and data preservation and sharing.

The objectives of the course are:

• Learn what research data management is and how to manage your own research effectively.
• Find out about the University’s and funders’ policy requirements for research data.
• Find out about resources and where to get help.
