Research data management

How to plan, collect, store, share, and promote data used in a research project.

Research data management is about the planning, collecting, storage, sharing and promotion of research data.

Research data is the information, records and files that are collected or used during the research process. Examples include notebooks, recordings, survey forms, specimens and other samples, photographs or computer code required to reconstruct meaningful information.

Publish and promote your research data using the Research Repository. With the Research Repository you can:

  • publish, share and promote your research;
  • mint DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) for citation purposes
  • use the built-in metrics to gauge research impact, and
  • discover, reuse, and cite research data from colleagues at RMIT and beyond.

The Research Repository will automatically publish records to Research Data Australia.
