Applied Research Data Management

In this 60 min workshop, I discussed selected aspects of research data management with the Nature Conservation Lab of the Philipps University of Marburg. Goal of this workshop was to improve standardization of data sets from student theses. We focussed on data mangement plans, folder structure, metadata standards and some legal aspects. For each of these topics, I recommended tools and services provided by NFDI4Biodiversity (discipline specific), by the Hessian Research Data Management Infrastructures (HeFDI) (generic), by the eResearch Center of the Philipps University of Marburg (generic), and others. To get started with research data management, feel free to take a look at the available NFDI4Biodiversity training resources, and at workshops and Open Educational Resources (OERs) provided by HeFDI. The Philipps University of Marburg further offers various courses on research data management for Bachelor and Master students (MarSkills) and for PhD students (MARA), as well as generic and discipline specific OER in Ilias and more (e.g. Environmental Informatics working group). Finally, the Uni Marburg project EnableD curates a list of self-paced online tutorials on digital literacy for students, lecturers, researchers and administrative and technical staff.
