Managing and sharing your research data

Research data management refers to the active curation of research data throughout the research lifecycle.

Good practice in research data management enables the University and its researchers to meet the standards and responsibilities set out in the University's Code of Practice on Research Integrity and to meet funder, ethical, legal and other responsibilities. It is also essential for enabling and safeguarding the longevity and continuing intelligibility of research data.

To help you navigate the practicalities of managing and sharing your research data, we offer:

Research data management: a practical guide

A practical guide to help you manage your research data well, covering best practice for the successful storage, organisation, documentation, archiving and sharing of research data. The guide includes resources, such as a briefing on RDM for supervisors of postgraduate researchers, and information on where further help can be sought.

RDM 101 is an online tutorial designed to provide you with an introduction to research data management. It's available to staff and postgraduate researchers in the Yorkshare VLE.

DMP review service

Recording your datasets in PURE
