Research data is information which has been created, collected or recorded to evidence research findings.
Whilst usually digital, it can also be non-digital for example artworks, biological materials or laboratory notebooks.
Research Data Management (RDM) refers to the organisation, storage and preservation of your research data throughout the lifecycle of your project.
There are many potential benefits of good research data management for you, your institution, collaborators and others researchers:
Leeds Beckett University's Open Research Policy sets out our commitment to making the products of our research (both outputs and research data) publicly available.
Information about Leeds Beckett's commitment to research integrity, as well as policies related to research ethics and misconduct can be found here.
The UK Data Service has useful guidance on managing your research data throughout its lifecycle, including planning, sharing, data ethics, copyright and storage.
