Data Management Expectations

University and research funders expectations and the support available to help you meet them.

RDM Policy and Code of Good Practice

The University's Research Data Management Policy Principles & Code of Good Practice outlines the expectations that the University and research funders have on researchers. It also describes support available to researchers to meet those expectations.

There are related research policies that may be useful. 

Research Funders

The majority of research funders have introduced policies on research data. The main expectation is that publicly funded research data are a public good, should be managed appropriately and made openly available with as few restrictions as possible. If you’d like additional information about a funder, even if they are not listed, please contact the RDS
