Subject-Specific Information

Data and data management often present diverse challenges in research, which vary greatly across different disciplines. For this reason, considering research data management only at a general level is rarely sufficient, as research data come in many different forms. Working with digital recordings of historical manuscripts, for example, is fundamentally different from handling laboratory experiments or scientific survey data. Although all of these are classified as research data in the abstract, the methods and approaches are usually hardly comparable in practice.

To address this, we provide a collection of subject-specific information and support services for research data management, organized by academic discipline.
