Scientific work is constantly generating new findings, the data from which is documented in a variety of ways. The diversity of this data (measurement data, audiovisual data, methodological test procedures, software, etc.) shows the spectrum of scientific disciplines and research procedures. Making research data available for use is the task of research data management (RDM).
The University Library offers an overview and further information on various aspects relevant to the planning and implementation of sustainable research data management in TUHH projects. We are happy to advise TUHH researchers on these topics.
Guidelines and Basics
What is research data? Why should I practise RDM? What are the requirements for RDM?
