RDM and Good Scientific Practice: An Inseparable Connection
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).
