“Research data is an essential foundation for scientific work. The diversity of this data reflects the wide range of different scientific disciplines, research interests and research methods. Research data might include measurement data, laboratory values, audiovisual information, texts, survey data, objects from collections, or samples that were created, developed or evaluated during scientific work.”
(Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft “Guidelines on the Handling of Research Data” September, 2015)
Research Data Management (RDM) aims to enable the long-term discoverability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of research data.
The team of research data experts is a cooperation between the Department of Research and Technology Transfer (FT), the University Library (UB) and the JGU Data Center (ZDV). The team advises all JGU researchers on planning and implementing research data management, e.g. on securing, archiving, publishing and re-use of research data, as well as on the relevant requirements of research funding bodies.
