Running a project and not sure where to start? Read more About data management Research data management (RDM) essentially means creating, storing, maintaining, disclosing, archiving and long-term preserving research data. Good data management is important in order to: safeguard the high quality of research data, and ensure that the data is findable and accessible; increase the visibility - and impact - or research data; ensure compliance with the requirements of Leiden University and research funders. If you have any questions, you can contact the data management specialists at your faculty/institute or at the Centre for Digital Scholarship. The Centre for Digital Scholarship also offers checklists and templates and training courses on data management. Read more About data protection and privacy We are all responsible for data protection. To keep data, including personal data, as secure as possible, the university has established an information security policy. Read more Data protection and privacy Archaeology Archaeology research often involves a specific set of issues relating to data security, data transfer and personal or sensitive data, especially for fieldwork and research travel abroad. Please consider these carefully before embarking on your research and, if applicable, fill out a DPIA (data protection impact assessment).
