Elixir – Research Data Management Video Series

ELIXIR Czech Republic (ELIXIR-CZ) has released an 8-part video series titled Research Data Management Video Series, available on the ELIXIR-CZ YouTube channel. These educational videos provide a systematic introduction to research data management.

The first part of the series explains what Research Data Management (RDM) is and why it is essential, and then focuses on Data Management Plans (DMPs). Subsequent modules address practical aspects of RDM, specifically the three key pillars of data structuring: optimal data formats, logical file organization, and consistent naming conventions. 

The latter half of the series focuses on aspects of data management that are important for  data longevity and sharing. The videos cover metadata and documentation and provide guidance on selecting appropriate data repositories and tools for choosing the right licenses. The final video demonstrates the implementation of FAIR principles and validates the effectiveness of the approach presented throughout the series.
