Research Data and Research Data Management at Paderborn University
At Paderborn University, we attach great importance to research data as the basis of scientific knowledge. The information on these web pages supplements our guideline on handling research data and provides practical advice on its implementation. Research data are all data that are created during a research process. In addition to texts, graphics, audio files, video files and databases, research data can also include algorithms and software for processing, evaluating or presenting research results. Research data accrue at different moments of the research process.
Planning phase
Research data management plans are developed prior to the research project. These should help to clarify fundamental questions and responsibilities even before the research project starts. It is also important to consider the legal framework conditions.
Closing phase
After the research project, the research data must be secured, e.g. by storing the data in suitable data archives or repositories (e.g. the free online storage service Zenodo). Directories for research data repositories can help in choosing a suitable repository, e.g. the DFG portal for research infrastructures "RIsources". To ensure that data can be found, it is advisable to use a persistent identifier(PID), e.g. in the form of a digital object identifier(DOI), when publishing the data.
