This addresses institutional approaches to providing the infrastructure for managing research data during the life of the research project.
Institutions have a responsibility under the Australian code for the responsible conduct of research to give researchers access to infrastructure to use throughout active RDM. This part of the framework deals specifically with selecting the active RDM infrastructure by an institution. Because active RDM takes place during the life of the research project, it has a large impact on a researcher’s ability to conduct their research. Effective active RDM solutions reduce the burden on researchers’ workload and prevent them from turning to non-endorsed solutions that reduce institutional oversight and expose both institution and researcher to risk.
