The creation, management, dissemination and use/re-use of research data can be key to the outcome and impact of any research project.  Increasingly, research funders and publishers are mandating the deposit and dissemination of research data, to support replication and development of research findings, and public engagement where appropriate.

RDM is not just for scientists!  Research data comes in many forms.

Funded by JISC and based primarily in Edinburgh, the Digital Curation Centre "is an internationally-recognised centre of expertise in digital curation with a focus on building capability and skills for research data management".  This short video (12 minutes) introduces their resources and services for researchers in the UK and elsewhere.
