What is

Research Data &

Research Data Management?

Research Data:

“That which is collected, observed, or created in a digital form, for

purposes of analysing to produce original research results”

(The University of Edinburgh)

Research Data Management:

Encompasses the entire data life cycle, including data collection, organization, storage, retrieval, and

preservation over time.

Actions that contribute to effective storage, preservation and reuse of data and documentation

throughout the research life cycle.

The data landscape

A 2011 survey by Science, found

that 48.3% of respondents were

working with datasets that were

less than 1GB in size and over half

of those polled store their data

only in their laboratories. Science 11 February 2011: Vol. 331 no. 6018 pp. 692-693 DOI: 10.1126/science.331.6018.692
