    Store and manage your research data

    Know how to store your research data and manage it effectively for easy access and organisation.

    We can help develop systems to manage data, from planning and capture to long-term preservation. Griffith provides two internal research storage solutions, Research Drive and Research Vault, as well as SharePoint. We can also advise on several endorsed external providers offering both general-purpose and discipline-specific data management and storage services. Contact us to discuss your project and data needs.

    Planning your research data

    Create a Data Management Plan (DMP) for your research project using Griffith's Data Management Planning Tool. The tool guides you through key data management considerations and generates a downloadable PDF (that can e.g., be attached to your grant/ethics documentation). The DMP tool can be accessed here. For more information, check this Knowledge article. 

    For general guidance on managing research data, visit the Library's Manage and Plan webpage.

    Your research data will fit under a category of classification. This classification may change how you handle the research data. The Research Data Classification Guide will help you determine which category your research data fits.

    Our Information Management resource page contains detailed information and an app to help you figure out which category your data fits into.

    Research data has a legal retention period based on the type of data that you are collecting for your research.  The Research Data Retention Guide provides a  quick summary to help you get started.

    Our Information Management resource pagecontains detailed retention information if you'd like to learn more.
