Research Data Management basics: why it is essential to take care of data

Properly managing research data is useful for oneself and it is fundamental to create an ecosystem where data can be valued by multiple actors and perspectives. The presentation was given as an introductory and motivational training webinar in which Research Data Management was framed as one of the practices of Open Science. In addition, the steps to be taken to start a proper strategy to design a shared workflow of research data management within CISUP were discussed. CISUP is the Center for Instrument Sharing of the University of Pisa, an interdepartmental laboratory platform offering access to a wide range of analytical instrumentation for life and physical science researchers: https://cisup.unipi.it/
