The University is investing in a new research driven research data management (RDM) service to cover all the Schools/Research Institutes and Centres in three Colleges. This will allow researchers to comply with funding councils’ requirements for the preservation and dissemination of research data, help them with grant application process, make their research visible and boost citations.

We have already begun talking to research staff in Schools and Research Institutes / Centres to explain these tools and services and how they can benefit from them.

The first School who invited us for a talk was the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. The talk was followed by a lively discussion with some helpful comments and suggestions from them.

We are looking forward to talking to research staff in all Schools and Research Institutes / Centres. If you would like us to introduce you to these new tools and services please get in touch with Cuna Ekmekcioglu at cekmekci@staffmail.ed.ac.uk
