Santiago Ramón y Cajal(Spanish Nobel Prize winner, 1906)
“A scholar’s positive contribution is measured by the sum of the original data that he contributes.
Hypotheses come and go, but data remain.”

Data Management
Do data really remain?
Only if carefully and professionally managed
![Page 4: International Perspectives and New Developments in Antarctic Data Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062721/568137ef550346895d9fab28/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is data management?
All activities concerning data to maximize the value
of data by preserving data for future (re-)use.
The primary objective of data management is to ensure
timely, efficient and open access to the best possible
data, metadata and associated products, for use and
re-use throughout their life-cycle and to prevent loss
of data and associated information

Why would you want to manage the data?
Value of the data
- to your research work
- to society
Data are NOT your personal property
Public money = Public good
Data Management

What activities are part of good data management?
- Securing and archiving both raw and processed data
- Ensuring complete metadata, so that future generations of
scientists will be able to use the data
- Making the data available and accessible
- Showing the world the existence of the data
This is all done by professional data centres

What are the benefits (for you) of sharing data through a professional data centre?
Secure Archiving
“The data centre preserves the data for eternity”
Dr. Øystein Godøy, Norwegian Meteorological Institute
New collaborations
New use (= new life) of the data (in unexpected applications)
Furthers interdisciplinary research
Increases recognition for work done
Independent verification of research results: better science
Reduces workload (handling data requests for you)

What developments can be discerned?
Free, unrestricted and timely exchange of dataFree = no money paid, unrestricted = no conditions
on use of the data, timely = asap
Increasingly stricter requirements by funding agencies
and research organizations and programmes

What developments can be discerned?
Fair attribution: acknowledgement of the work done
by the data provider (= the scientist)
Data citation
Data sets can be published and cited

Data citation
Important role and responsibility for funding agencies
to develop a system for giving as much credit to a data
citation as to a journal citation
