Research data management (RDM) is a set of practices and steps taken to handle and take care of the research data throughout the research life cycle in a way that ensures the accessibility, understandability, integrity and high quality of research data. Good research data management enables open science. Aalto University provides services, instructions and support to help researchers manage their data well. Aalto University has network of Data Agents, who are researchers specializing in research data, based at schools to help researchers with the discipline-specific challenges of research data.
Properly managed research data creates competitive edge and is an important part of a high-quality research process. Here you will find links to support, services and instructions for research data management.

The principle of openness is the key principle of science and research. At Aalto University, the most visible forms of open science are open access publications, open research data and metadata, and combining openness and commercialisation.
We offer free and open to all training in research data management and open science.
When selecting a publication channel, you should pay attention to the openness and reliability of the publication channel. Publishing in a high-quality publication channel will increase the impact of research.
Researchers are encouraged to publish their research according to open access principles. We have open access agreements with publishers for publishing without any cost to you. ACRIS provides a platform for green open access publishing.
Choose the platforms that suit you best and create a routine for updating them. You can also use social media, such as Twitter or YouTube/TikTok for video clips of your research. Your research group's webpage might also offer possibilities.
