Advantages of Research Data Management

 

Quality

Research data management, RDM for short, improves the quality of your research data and ensures the completeness and reproducibility of your data.

Security, Protection, and IP

RDM supports you in securing your data against loss and professionally protects sensitive data against misuse, theft, damage, fire, et cetera. Further information can be found in the Leaflet on the Copyright Protection of Research Data.

Integrity

Research and external funding organizations, such as the German Research Foundation and Horizon 2020, as well as publishers and journals, are increasingly demanding RDM:

• Requirements of Good Academic Practice
• Ensuring that research processes are kept documented
• Archiving and provision of research data
