Research Data:
“That which is collected, observed, or created in a digital form, for
purposes of analysing to produce original research results”
(The University of Edinburgh)
Research Data Management:
Encompasses the entire data life cycle, including data collection, organization, storage, retrieval, and
preservation over time.
Actions that contribute to effective storage, preservation and reuse of data and documentation
throughout the research life cycle.

The data landscape
A 2011 survey by Science, found
that 48.3% of respondents were
working with datasets that were
less than 1GB in size and over half
of those polled store their data
only in their laboratories. Science 11 February 2011: Vol. 331 no. 6018 pp. 692-693 DOI: 10.1126/science.331.6018.692
