Coscine – Moving From Pilot Phase Into Regular Operation
A reason to celebrate! After an extensive pilot phase, we can deliver the happy news that Coscine is moving from now on into regular operation. Find out what’s behind Coscine and why this service is the best way to support you in your research data management in this blog post.
RDM in Small Research Projects

The question of the right research data management (RDM) arises above all for researchers who are still at the beginning of their careers, but also for students who are already taking on smaller research projects. Since they have had little to no contact with RDM to that point, it is unclear to many how research data can be made usable in the long term. Recommendations for RDM in smaller projects can now be found in a new handout by the German Data Forum (RatSWD), part of the Consortium for the Social, Behavioural, Educational and Economic Sciences (KonsortSWD). A set of slides for university teachers was also published together with the handout.

The wait has come to an end and the monthly RDM network meeting is back! After the summer break, data stewards, RDM managers and RDM interested parties from RWTH Aachen University came together again online via Zoom on September 14, 2022. This time, the participants learned about the RDM platform Coscine developed at RWTH and its functions.
Case Study Voyager 1 – Why RDM Is Important

If you want to conduct research at a high level, you inevitably have to deal with research data management and digital long-term archiving to prevent possible data loss. We would like to illustrate why RDM is important and easy to implement, especially in the digital age, using NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft as a case study.
FAIR enough

Im Kontext von Forschungsdatenmanagement (FDM) wird immer wieder über die FAIR-Prinzipien gesprochen. Als Forschende/r wissen Sie vermutlich bereits, was FAIR bedeutet: Foschungsdaten sollen möglichst
- auffindbar (Findable),
- zugänglich (Accessible),
- interoperabel (Interoperable) und
- nachnutzbar (Re-usable)
sein.
Doch welche Kriterien sind für die FAIRness von Daten entscheidend? Hierzu stellt die Initiative go-fair.org umfangreiche Informationen zu den 15 FAIR-Prinzipien und dem “FAIRification Process” bereit.
