RDM and Good Scientific Practice: An Inseparable Connection
Source: Martin Braun
Research data is the backbone of every scientific endeavor. However, the collection, documentation, and publication of research data is only useful if it adheres to the principles of Good Scientific Practice (GSP). These principles ensure scientific integrity and the quality of research. A central component of GSP is the proper handling of research data, which plays an important role in research data management (RDM).

The world of research data management (RDM) is as diverse as the people who work with it every day. Every approach, every method and every strategy reflects not only the requirements of research, but also the personalities behind it. Have you ever wondered what role you play in this dynamic world? With the humorously designed RDM personality test from FDM-ndsHAW you can find out exactly that!

Happy Halloween! Have you ever heard of “tombstones”? We have put together a special and mystical article for you to mark the spooky holiday of the year. The digital world offers us enormous opportunities, but what happens when research data is deleted? Is it lost forever? This is where the idea of “tombstones” comes into play – an elegant solution to make the disappearance of research data more transparent.
