OTGA Training Course: Research Data Management

The OceanTeacher Global Academy (OTGA) offered a training course in research data management, which covered the planning, creating, storing, organizing, accessing, sharing, describing, publishing and curating of data. RDM is mandated by many funding agencies and increasingly by governments to provide access to funded research results. The management of data, particularly large-scale data, has many challenges, and the roles of researchers, facilities that manage marine data, repositories and libraries are coming together to provide access, preservation and archive of this data and the scholarly products associated with it. During this training course, members of the LifeWatch VLIZ team gave lectures about good practices in data management, and how to store and process your collected underway and station data.
