Engaging Researchers with Data Management: The Cookbook

24 best practice examples to engage researchers in data management

We researched twenty-four best practice examples to engage researchers in data management, converted them into ‘recipes’, and compiled a ‘cookbook’, designed to help others reproduce similar RDM (research data management) engagement activities.

An international team of research support staff and researchers, which included one staff member of the Centre for Digital Scholarship, carried out the project under the aegis of the RDA (Research Data Alliance). An independent jury selected the published case studies from over one hundred submissions. Chapter 1 describes a case study from Leiden University in “Research Data Management Policy: the Holy Grail of data management support?”.
