Research data
The demand to share research data is growing, from government agencies, funders, and scientific journals. Lund University provides support, tools, and guidance to help researchers manage their data safely and correctly throughout their projects.
Open access to research data – also known as open data – is widely discussed, and the demands for openness and transparency in research are increasing.
Projects that receive funding often have requirements to develop a data management plan and to share data whenever possible. Researchers are also encouraged to make their research data FAIR – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. This means that research data should be managed in a way that makes it easy to find, access, integrate with other datasets, and reuse. Even researchers who do not intend to publish their data benefit from managing it in a structured and sustainable manner.
