Research Data Management  

This guide will provide information on research data management for the University of Adelaide's research community. It is being created as part of the Showcasing Research Data project. For more information about the project please select the tab at the top of this guide.

Managing your research data effectively makes your job easier.

The appropriate management of research data means that you and others can easily find and access research data when and where you need it.

This guide will help you to determine your research data management needs and create a data management plan that documents your data management strategies. It includes guidelines on managing your data during a research project, from storage and access to metadata. It also includes information about tracking your data and sharing the data once the research project is complete.

This guide is intended to help you with your research data management needs. Please let us know what you think by using the Feedback box on the right hand side.

The effective management of research data is an important component of the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.

The University of Adelaide has a Responsible Conduct of Research Policy that formally adopts the principles embodied in the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research. The Code has been adopted as part of the University of Adelaide's approach to research integrity.

The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research includes a section on the management of research data and primary materials, including the responsibilities of institutions and responsibilities of researchers. This guide will assist you in meeting your requirements.
