Community driven project providing access to data across multiple member repositories, supporting enhanced search and discovery of Earth and environmental data.

Online application that helps researchers create data management plans. Detailed guidance and links to general and institutional resources.

This helpful guide provides a great framework for finding data and statistics on a given topic.

GO FAIR provides guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. The principles emphasise machine-actionability (i.e., the capacity of computational systems to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention) because humans increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data as a result of the increase in volume, complexity, and creation speed of data.

Educational course to educate new investigators about conducting responsible data management in scientific research.

The Longwood Medical Area Research Data Management Working Group (LMA RDMWG) formed in response to identified unmet needs in biomedical and biological research data management. The group endeavors to create solutions, provide guidance, and develop standards and best practices to meet those identified unmet needs and anticipate future needs of our researchers in this area.
