Research Data Management

De Montfort University is committed to research excellence and integrity and seeks to promote high standards of research data management throughout the research data lifecycle. The University is working towards compliance with the principles of the UK Concordat on Open Research Data and believes that making data ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’ is key to research transparency, integrity and engagement.

Everyone undertaking and/or supporting research at the University should ensure that they are familiar with DMU’s Policy on Managing Research Data.

This policy falls within our wider support for Open Research, as set out in our Open Research Position Statement.
