Research Data Management

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT IS IT?

Scientific data consists of statistics, results of experiments, measurements, observations resulting from field work, research results, interviews and image recordings and these can be archived and made accessible through repositories compatible with other scientific information management systems.

Course description:

Recently, major financing entities like the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, the European Commission and the G8 have issued recommendations or mandates for the open access to research data recommending that the “scientific research data should be easily discoverable, accessible, assessable, intelligible, useable, and wherever possible interoperable”. Studies show that making data available increases citations and the researcher’s impact.

This course aims to help researchers and PhD students to better manage their research data in compliance with financing agencies guidelines, and to make data discoverable and citable.

Key Topics

Open Access and Open Science
Open Data Pilot in Horizon 2020 and FCT Policy
