The UNM Library's
Research Data Services
Program provides a wide variety of services in support of effective research data planning, management, preservation, discovery and use. In addition to consultation and support services, the RDS team also provides support for several key research data infrastructure capabilities that are maintained by the Library for use by UNM's research community. The information below provides more detailed information about all of our team's consultation, support and infrastructure services - all aligned with the full research lifecycle as illustrated here.
The remaining sections of this research guide provide much more specific information and access to resources related to research data planning, management, sharing and preservation.
Consulation & Support
Data Management Planning Support
We are here to help research team develop the most effective plans for managing their research data
and
in developing the written data management plans that most funding agencies now require as part of funding proposals submitted for their consideration.
Data formats
Data collaboration, storage and backup strategies
Documentation strategies and standards
Research area-specific repositories & archives
Strategies for meeting publisher data sharing requirements
Developing agency-specific
Data Management Plans
Data Reference Support
Working in data intensive research areas often requires access to data developed and shared by others. The
Research Data Services
team in the University Libraries is here to help you in your research activities.
