General

Research data management (RDM) is one of the important prerequisites of scientific activity, a requirement of many funding agencies and is both part of Good Scientific Practice and embedded in many institutional RDM and Open Science Policies.

RDM concerns all phases of the research process with the aim of securing and storing data in a long-term and person-independent manner in accordance with the FAIR Principles in a way that is findable, accessible, verifiable, and interoperable.
