Research data are an essential part of many research projects. The data we collect are of high value, to ourselves and to other researchers, both now and in the future, and should therefore be well organized and archived. Further, scientific journals and funders have started to require that research data are properly managed and made openly available, if possible.
In this course, you get an introduction to what open research data are, how to structure, document and preserve the data during a research project, and finally, how to archive and share them using UiT Open Research Data, https://opendata.uit.no/.
UiT Open Research Data is part of a global network for open data, with metadata templates based on international standards. The service provides extensive online visibility, and facilitates proper citation and attribution by assigning a full reference with a persistent identifier (DOI) to each archived dataset.
