In today’s research, the correct handling of data is of crucial importance. The amount of research data is growing exponentially, and with it the need to manage this data efficiently and sustainably. This is where the FAIR principles come into play: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-Usable. These principles provide a common basis for handling research data and make it possible not only to store data, but also to make it usable and accessible. FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) are a concept that transfers these principles to the digital world.
Central RDM Services at the RWTH: RWTH Publications
This article is part of our series “Central RDM Services at RWTH Aachen“. It is intended to show our researchers – i.e. you – which RDM services are offered at RWTH Aachen University to support you in your research and data management. We talk to the people responsible for the services and collect all the information for you in the individual articles. In this article, we would like to introduce you to the RDM service “RWTH Publications for research data”.

Research data management (RDM) is an essential part of modern science and research. In order to optimally prepare researchers at RWTH Aachen University for the challenges of handling research data, we offer the RDM II compact workshop once a year. This one-day hands-on workshop takes place on site at the University Library and is aimed at anyone who would like to deepen their knowledge of research data management.
Effective Data Sharing With Coscine – Part 2
The first part of the blog series “Effective data sharing with Coscine” presented various options for sharing research data that are offered in Coscine. The second part of the series now looks at how you can make your research data accessible to a wider audience and how you can freely design the presentation of the data. Although this is somewhat more complex than the tools provided in the Coscine user interface, it offers more flexibility and can therefore be tailored specifically to your needs.
