Thinking Long-Term: The Research Data Life Cycle beyond Data Collection, Analysis and Publishing

Research data often has a longer lifespan than the research project that created it. Researchers may continue to work on data after funding has ceased, follow-up projects may analyze or add to the data, and data may be re-used by other researchers. In this presentation, we will discuss the iterative research data lifecycle, focusing on life after the creation and analysis of research data, and beyond research article publication.
