4. Rationale
26 March 2018 Research Data Champions Day
In the past…
…you would lose time
looking for RDM resources
all over the internet.
Today…
…a wealth of resources can
be found on a single
website.
5. Approach
» We gathered over 100 RDM
resources
» We scored them based on
– Relevance
– Practicality
– Transferability
– Currency
– Credibility
» We arranged them using Jisc’s data
lifecycle
