Structure of the guide

The EUI Research Data Guide is intended as a reference resource (i.e. not intended to be read linearly, beginning to the end) but all chapters link to one another to provide a comprehensive perspective on the data services and support provided by the EUI.

Its structure follows the Research Data Lifecycle in an attempt to cover core aspects of data discovery, management, analysis and sharing.

What to expect in each chapter

Each chapter of the EUI Research Data Guide provides guidance on a specific aspect or stage in the Research Data Lifecycle and is organized as follows:

  • Explicit learning outcomes
  • A general description and introduction of each aspect/stage.
  • A list of the main considerations that need to be taken into account during each stage.
  • Tips and practical guidance on the specific topic
  • Direct linking to available EUI resources, tools, and support
  • Selected open resources to support additional and more in-depth self-paced training
