Research data management (RDM) is the organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of data¹ collected and used in a research project. It involves the everyday management of research data during the lifetime of a research project (for example, using consistent file naming conventions). It involves decisions about how data will be preserved and shared after the project is completed (for example, depositing the data in a repository for long-term archiving and access). Please contact Lindsay to setup a consultation

¹Data are items of recorded information considered either collectively for reference and/or analysis.
