Research Data Management

Many (but not all) researchers at the Faculty of Law make use of or create data as part of their research process. The data is the evidence that underpins their research and thus forms an important part of their academic work.

Good Research Data Management (RDM) is therefore one of the prime responsibilities of a professional research organization and of the individual researcher.

The Faculty of Law endorses the principles of FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data management.
The Faculty board has established additional policies and a research data management protocol.

Research Data Management Plan

Researchers conducting empirical research are required to prepare a Research Data Management Plan (RDMP). To assist them in this process, the Faculty of Law has created a template for drafting an RDMP. This template includes a series of questions regarding the collection, storage, and archiving of data.

See this example (link to PDF)

If you would like to use the template, please contact Tamara Hummel, Privacy & Security coördinator for research.
You will then receive the relevant document in Word.
For feedback on your draft RDMP or other questions, advice and help on data management and data protection in research you are very welcome to contact Tamara as well!

Publication package for PhD candidates

A personal folder has been created for each GGSL PhD candidate on the Faculty's Y drive: a Publication Package.
This folder meant to store all files related to your dissertation such as text files and other publications, literature, reports and research data.
