Best practices for active project data management
During a research project, data are actively created, acquired, processed and used by research teams. Effective management at this stage is essential to protect data, support collaboration, maintain quality, and ensure that data can later be shared and reused responsibly.
This section focuses on the day-to-day operational practices that support secure and efficient data handling while research is ongoing. Additionally, simple habits such as anonymisation and documentation of data collections prevent painful rework when you prepare data for final deposit.
