The Research Data Management Lifecycle
 

 

Research Data Lifecycle

 

The Research Data Management (RDM) lifecycle is the overarching process that guides a researcher through the different steps their data takes throughout a research project.

The stages in the lifecycle are inter-related and each must be considered in relation to the other. If not, there could be serious implications both on your current project, publications, and the ability to reuse the data in the future.

The information and tools outlined in this website will happen you manage your data through the entire lifecycle.

Data Retention Guide

Research data has requirements for data retention over the course of the project and afterwards. The following diagram outlines how long you need to keep the various types of data associated with your project. Our data storage guide can help you choose a suitable supported storage platform.
