What is Data Management?

Data management covers all steps in the collection, processing, storing and sharing of research data, including:
  • Processing and analyzing your data
  • Verifying and documenting your data
  • Data formats, naming, and organization
  • Data archiving and sharing
  • Ethics and attribution of data
The Library can help you with data management planning and archiving of research data; Research Computing can help with storage and processing needs while you are working on your project.
