6.3 Data management
Responsible data management is part of good research. Therefore in 2015, STW/NWO is starting
a pilot in data management. The High-Tech Materials Call participates in this pilot, and researchers
are requested how they will handle the generated data in their research. See the explanatory notes
in the Call text as well. Questions on data management:
1. Will data be collected or generated that are suitable for reuse? If “Yes”: Then answer
questions 2 to 4. If “No”: Then explain why the research will not result in reusable data or in
data that cannot be stored or data that for other reasons are not relevant for reuse.
2. Where will the data be stored during the research?
3. After the project has been completed, how will the data be stored for the long-term and
made available for the use by third parties? To whom will the data be accessible?
4. Which facilities (ICT, (secure) archive, refrigerators or legal expertise) do you expect will be
needed for the storage of data during the research and after the research? Are these
available?
For the completion of the section please contact the university library/intended repository/ICT
Department of your institute or university. They can help you with the completion of the data
section.
