Research data storage changes

Improvements are being made to research data management at QUT through the introduction of the Research Plan ID (RPID) and upgrades to the Data Management Planner. These changes will enable self-service automated provisioning of data storage.

From November, users will request research data storage and manage access to the folders via the DMP.

 

What’s Changing?

  • Each research project will require a data management plan (DMP).
  • When you create a DMP, an RPID will be automatically generated.
  • Instead of lodging a HEAT ticket, you will request research data storage directly within the DMP. If requested, storage will be automatically provisioned and linked to the RPID.
  • Each plan in the Data Management Planner has a Plan Lead, this person will be able to request data storage and manage collaborators.

Existing RDSS users will be able to:

  • Locate their current RDSS spaces via the Data Management Planner.
  • Associate their existing RDSS data to a data management plan.
  • Review and manage collaborators of the RDSS folders when they are moving them to a data management plan.

Support

 

Support sessions will be held online in November to provide an overview of the new process, a demo and time for Q&As. Book via the links below:
