Research Data Services Introduction

Research Data Management

Research Data Management (RDM) is a broad concept that includes processes undertaken to create organized, documented, accessible, and reusable quality research data. The role of the librarian is to support researchers through the research data lifecycle. 

The processes involved in RDM are more complex than simply backing up data on a thumb drive and ensuring that sensitive data is kept secure.  Managing data includes using file naming conventions, organizing files, creating metadata, controlling access to data, backing up data, citing data, and more.  There are checklists online which point to the considerations and processes in RDM .
