IDOS Research Data Guidelines

By making research data available on a long-term basis in established research data repositories open to the public, IDOS enables the further use and analysis of the data, as well as the replication of the research results in the spirit of open science; it also supports the answering of future research questions. [...] The research data management (RDM) necessary for this purpose is based on the principles of leading German research organisations,1 takes into account the standards of scientific disciplines2 and complies with the requirements of good research practice as set out by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). [...] IDOS and its researchers comply with ethical, data protection and other confidentiality requirements when handling research data and participate in the relevant institutional processes.4 Personal data must be collected and processed in compliance with the relevant legal provisions.5 IDOS, represented by the RDM team based in the IDOS Library, in coordination with the IDOS IT department, advises re. [...] It supports its researchers in particular in producing DMPs, in the active data management during data collection and processing in the course of research work, and in selecting and implementing the appropriate archiving strategy and, if necessary, the right publication strategy upon completion of the research project. [...] To this end, it is necessary for the project to inform the Library8 about its intentions already in the application phase so that the Library can support the initiation of the necessary steps for RDM in the projects, including the creation of a DMP.
