Research Data Management

Research data are factual records (e.g., numerical, textual, images, sounds) used as primary sources for research and necessary for validating findings. These data are mostly digital, making them easy to share and replicate. A national approach to managing research data in Canada is needed to maximize the benefits of public research investments. CARL supports this through initiatives like the Portage Network (now part of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada) and the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR).
