RESEARCH Data Management Handbook

Research Data Management (RDM) theory offers abstract solutions. RDM as practice is a social collaboration among research partners from across their respective institution(s) and disciplines; a process that is not project-specific but instead works with living data that migrates between team members, institutions, and projects. A well-functioning social and collaborative aspect–and RDM as a process–is critical to the success of an RDM strategy, institutional or national.

From 2022-2023 a team comprised of four labs (the Collaborative + Experimental Ethnography Lab, Applied Behaviour Change Lab, Biodiversity and Landscape Ecology Research Facility, (Re)Media Research Infrastructure for Multimedia Research and Creation), UBCO’s Advanced Research Computing, the UBC Okanagan Library, and a team of graduate students worked together to prepare and open access data agnostic handbook for thinking about RDM from onboarding to offboarding in lab.

An Open Access Publication is forthcoming late-2023.
