How Do I Preserve My Research Data?

Digital Data Preservation

Digital preservation is an important part of the data lifecycle continuum and should be considered an integral part of your research data management plan.

How Do I Select Data for Preservation?

While preservation is important, not all data should be preserved indefinitely. Some considerations include:

• Data that directly supports published research
• Data that must be shared as outlined by funder or other requirements
• Data that is vulnerable
• Data with historical significance
• Data that could drive new research
