Thing 15 - Managing Research Data

As mentioned in the post, this is the most critical aspect of a research project. I agree with Tatum's view on the fact that a lot about this aspect is determined by what the researcher sees as 'future' use of the data,  this would in turn determine how and where research data is stored.

Due to privacy and security reasons, I know that institutions increasingly encourage researchers to store their research and research data in Institutional repositories. I believe that this is very good practice, but researchers can also control what aspects of their research data management is available for viewing by institutional members  i.e. the research papers, but the data although stored in the instituional repository, can be secure-accessed only. i.e. only certain people can have access to data .

Although a tiny bit dated, the tutorials on Mantra are useful to look at. Also, would consider looking at additional tips or advice given through other University / Institutions about research data management.
