Effective management of research data is vital to the success of your project. Start with the Library Research Data Management Guide if you are unsure about where to begin, or see below to learn more about the Research Data Management tools available at Adelaide University.
Figshare
Figshare is the Adelaide University's official data and digital object repository with unlimited local storage.
It is available to all current staff and HDR students to upload research data and digital objects. When you publish your data or metadata on Figshare, it is assigned a DOI and becomes more discoverable including on Research Data Australia, Google Datasets, and other platforms.
Research Data Planner
It is a University Policy requirement that researchers and HDR students create a research data management plan for any research project where the lead researcher is a University staff member.
Research Data Planner is a web-based service that connects with Research Master to draw in existing project information. This means that when you are creating your plan, some of the project information will be pre-filled. If Research Master holds no information about your project, you can use Research Data Planner to create a plan from scratch.
LabArchives
LabArchives is an electronic research notebook that can be used across all discipline areas where there is a need to store and organise working research data and digital material.
All current staff and students can access LabArchives on Adelaide University’s Lab Archives site. Because it is cloud-based, you can access it anywhere and at any time via the internet or mobile app.
Data in LabArchives are stored in Australia and there is no limit to the size or number of notebooks that you can create and share.
