Data Storage

Proper data storage is a critical component of responsible research practices. Having a well-thought-out plan for organizing, documenting, and backing up your research data is essential for maintaining data integrity, facilitating collaboration, and ensuring long-term accessibility.

Why Data Storage Planning Matters:

Prevents data loss
Enhances research efficiency
Facilitates data sharing and reuse
Ensures compliance with funder and institutional requirements
Supports research reproducibility

Remember: Effective data storage is not just about keeping your data safe—it's about making your research more efficient, collaborative, and impactful.
