Research Data Management (RDM)

Research Data Management (RDM) is the organization, description, storage, preservation, and sharing of data collected and used during the course of a research cycle or the lifetime of a research project. RDM is an integral part of the research process and helps to ensure that your data is cared for and maintained.

The Research Data LifeCycle

The lifecycle of research data lasts beyond the length of a research project.
