Central to the principle of good research practice is the honest, accurate and meticulous recording and storage of research data. Research Data Management (RDM) is not a single issue, it presents many challenges and raises many questions throughout the research lifecycle, but at its core, RDM is concerned with the active management of research data. RDM applies across all disciplines and is relevant to all people who conduct and manage research. The University expects all researchers to conduct research in a responsible and ethical manner and RDM is an intrinsic element of good practice. The University RDM Policy stipulates that all new research projects must have a data management and sharing plan. These plans must consider copyright, intellectual property, data licensing, data protection, data access & security and data re-use. USW researchers with queries about Data Management Plans, archiving data or any other element of RDM can get in contact with the Research Librarian (for general queries) or the Funding Officers in RISe (for queries on Funding requirements for RDM).
