Research data support

When you are doing research, good data management practices and transparency are essential. This portal provides guidance about research data support available to you.

Research data management (RDM) concerns the organisation, documentation, storage, archiving and sharing of digital and analogue data.
Proper RDM ensures reliable verification of results, and permits new and innovative research built on existing information. In other words, proper RDM makes data more FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) as it supports the transparency of scientific output.
This portal provides an overview of the research support the VU has to offer.
The LibGuide toolbox provides practical information and guidelines for working with research data.

"Good and quick advice on my Data Management Plan"

When drawing up the Data Management Plan for her PhD research in DMPonline, Marit Bogert approached the VU RDM Support Desk for advice. ‘Within a week I had a meeting with Elisa Rodenburg, who is working for the RDM Support Desk, and Brett Oliver, data steward for the Faculty of Sciences. They gave me good advice and a lot of extra tips.’

Open Science

Open Science is a global movement that aims to 'make scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific community' (UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, 2021).
