Helen Morgan discusses the data publishing process and systems at UQ and how it links to the management of research data throughout its lifecycle. 

Data publishing is the process of preparing and publishing research data so that researchers and the broader community can find, access and (re)use the data. Data publishing may include sharing information about research datasets with Research Data Australia or discipline-specific portals or repositories, as well as making collections available to other end users of data, either on an individual basis or through a formal publication process. It can also include activities like minting a persistent identifier for the data and assigning a licence to the data.Most research institutions offer support for data publishing however there are variances in approaches and a common challenge is in working out how to link the process of data publishing with other systems that handle the data during its lifecycle.
