Research Data Management
The Institute for Management Research’s has a implementation plan for Research Data Management that applies to senior and junior researchers as well as PhD candidates that collect research data at the Institute for Management Research.
These are the most important steps to take:
Before research
- Write a data management plan at the beginning of a research project by logging in here and using the Institute for Management Research format.
- Before deciding to collect data for your project, see if there are data that you can reuse
- If processing personal data, follow the GDPR throughout the entirety of the research process
- Check here to see if the research proposal needs to be reviewed by the Ethics Assessment Committee Faculty of Law and Nijmegen School of Management (EACLM)
- Join IMR RDM courses (contact the data steward for more information) or check the Digital Competence Center on gROW to see what RDM courses are relevant for you
During research
Store and share research data using
- workgroup folder
- Radboud Data Repository
- Microsoft 365 Teams
- SURFfilesender
After research
- Archive or publish research data in the Radboud Data Repository for a minimum of ten years accompanied by sufficient metadata and documentation
- Use CC0 license when publishing the research data unless there are legal or ethical constraints.
- Register the archived or published dataset in Radboud University’s Research Information Services (RIS) here, unless it was archived in the Radboud Data Repository, in which case this happens automatically
- Store informed consent forms in Corsa (document archive) by sending them to the NSM archive (archief [at] fm.ru.nl (archief[at]fm[dot]ru[dot]nl))
Contact the data steward at rdm.fm [at] ru.nl (rdm[dot]fm[at]ru[dot]nl) or +31631132785 with any questions regarding research data management.
