Research Data Management
The University of London is committed to promoting the highest standards of academic research, including excellence in research data management.
Research Data Management is a very important part of undertaking research. Managing research data runs through the entire lifecycle of the project and beyond. This new policy endorses best practice within Research Data Management by supporting integrity of the process, which includes transparency, discoverability, accessibility and re-use.
The latest Research Data Management Policy documents (approved May 22) are available here to download:
