Because good research needs good data

Reasons to manage research data

Why is research data management important?

“Data management is essential to excellence in research”Professor Charlotte Clarke, Associate Dean for Research, School of Health, Community and Education Studies

“Apart from the benefits for research, good data management is vital for many reasons: accountability, security, appropriate data-sharing, re-use protocols and preservation for example” Prof Julie McLeod, School of Computing, Engineering & Information Sciences

Directed learning

Start to develop a DMP for your research use the DATUM for Health template we will review it in Session 2

Watch a RDM video ‘How can researchers ensure that they’ll be able to share,

archive or re-use sensitive data?’ Louise Corti, UKDA, Essex University www.lib.cam.ac.uk/dataman/training.html#Interviews
