We are here to help you wherever you are in the process of working with your research data.
Quality data collection begins with a thorough management plan. We can help you set your research up for success by mapping out a plan using data management best practices.
If you are applying for grant funding, we also offer tailored support for creating management and sharing plans that meet institutional requirements.
Secure your data, organize your files, and make your data and analysis usable for other researchers (and your future self!) through metadata and descriptive documentation. We can help you determine how best to enhance the quality, integrity, and reproducibility of your data.
Maximize the impact of your work and promote collaboration and reuse by publishing your data on a platform that allows for discoverability and long-term hosting. We can help you choose the right platform for your data, including UK’s institutional repository, UKnowledge.
For more information on publishing services available on UKnowledge, visit our Publishing & Impact page.
