Research Data

Manage Your Research Data
Reasons to Manage and Publish Your Data:
Increase the visibility of your research: Making your data
available to other researchers through widely-searched
repositories (such as Georgia Tech's SMARTech) can increase
your prominence and demonstrate continued use of the data
and relevance of your research.
Meet grant requirements: Many funding agencies, such as
the National Science Foundation, now require that researchers
include data management or data sharing plans in their
proposals. They may also require deposit of research data in a
data archive.
Save time: Planning for your data management needs ahead of
time will save you time and resources in the long run.
Increase your research efficiency: Have you ever had a hard
time understanding the data you or your colleagues have
collected? Documenting your data throughout its life cycle saves
time by ensuring that in the future you and others will be able
to understand and use your data.
Maintain data integrity &reliability: Responsible data
management protects data from falsification and preserves
confidential information. It can also clarify the ownership of
property rights.
Preserve your data: Depositing your data in a trusted
repository can ensure that they will be available to you and
other researchers in the long-term. Doing so safeguards your
investment of time and resources and preserves your unique
contribution to research.
Facilitate new discoveries: Enabling other researchers to use
your data reinforces open scientific inquiry and can lead to new
and unanticipated discoveries. And doing so prevents duplication
of effort by enabling others to use your data rather than try to
recreate the data themselves.
Support Open Access: Researchers are becoming increasingly
more aware of the need to manage their work and consider
issues of scholarly communication. The Open Data Commons
advocates for researchers to share their data in order to foster
the development of knowledge.
"...[A] major benefit for contributors [to a data archive is that they]
will always be able to find and copy their previously submitted files
from the long-term archive." --Big opportunities in access to
"small science" data, Onsrud, Harlan and James Campbell. Data
Science Journal, Volume 6, Open Data Issue, 17 June 2007 p.7
