Before you begin,
have you considered everything?
Research outputs?
Data?Book?
Article?
Your Research Outputs
Why should I care?
Consistency & Efficiency
Working solo…
When should I think about Research Data Management?
Research Lifecycle – incorporating research data management

Creating a Research Data Management Plan
The Data Management Plan is:
• an online form
• uses the Qualtrics survey platform
• Asks relevant questions pertaining to your research data
• Sends you an electronic plan directly to your email after completion

The Data Deluge – Should I share?
“Data is more like soup – it’s messy and you don’t know
what’s in it.” – Liz Lyon (UK DCC)
“I worry there won't be enough people around to do the
analysis.”–Chris Ponting (University of Oxford UK, Computational biologist)
“A single DNA sequencer can now generate in a day what it took 10 years to collect for the
Human Genome Project. Computers are central to archiving and analysing this information, but
their processing power isn’t increasing fast enough, and their costs are decreasing too
slowly, to keep up with the deluge.”- Elizabeth Pennisi (Science Author)

IRDS – Data Storage at UWA
Case Study
Dropbox?
HDR student queryCan I use Dropbox to transfer confidential data from international companies for my research at UWA?
• Confidentiality?• Is encryption ok?• Other cloud storage options?
Our responseTechnically, yes, but should you?
• Contracts/Agreements with data providers?
• Seek advice from Legal Services• No charge for < 2GB ; but
>2GB=$$• Allows access to collaborators.• Confidential data may not be
safe. The data is being stored overseas.
• Not managed, maintained or stored by UWA.

PAWSEY vs Dropbox
HDR student queryCan I use Dropbox to transfer confidential data from international companies for my research at UWA?
• Confidentiality?• Is encryption ok?• Other cloud storage options?
Our responsePawsey Supercomputing could be an option
• Can cope with large (‘Big Data’) datasets and file transfer.
• Allows access to collaborators.• Not encouraged for long-term
storage (dependent on funding).• Not managed or maintained by
UWA.
NeCTAR Research CloudSuitable for long-running small simulations (e.g. R, Python)
• Project Trial allocation is 2 cores for 3 months
• Instances can have up to 16 cores, 64GB memory (via National allocation).
• Can start with Linux image from scratch and install software on it, or access virtual laboratories and tools where available.
Data storage• Online application process (data >5TB*) [*some exceptions]
• Designed for collaboration, not for ‘primary’ copy of data
• Access is governed by the Data Storage and Management Policy (DSMP)
• Access to Pawsey data stores is provided by the LiveARC storage management framework (also known as Mediaflux)
• Command line and web-interface access
