Research data management (RDM) is the process that guides the collection, documentation, storage, sharing, and preservation of research data throughout the lifecycle of a project.
RDM helps researchers:
- organize, store, access, reuse, and build upon digital research data
- securely preserve and use their research data throughout their research projects
- reuse their data over the course of their careers
- share their data when appropriate
- achieve scientific rigor and enable collaboration in their fields
