Researchers get improved online support for research data management

people sitting on a row in front of computers, only hands can be seen.

The new Research Data Office is to make it easier for researchers to manage their research data throughout the research process. Improved and more accessible online support is now being launched in the form of unified webpages, a university-wide support service and a new, easier way to register research documents that requires neither a course nor logging in to the W3D3 system.

Unified webpages on research data management

It is now easier for researchers to find information on how to manage research data, as we have now gathered all the information in one place. On the Staff Pages, you will now find that  the research data pages are structured to better reflect research data management throughout the research process.

University-wide support service for research data issues

If you don’t find an answer to your question on the webpages, you can get advice and guidance on research data management from the University’s joint support service for research data matters. The support service includes:

  • The faculty’s data stewards.
  • The faculty library’s research support service.
  • Archivists.

You contact support directly via the form below or by sending an email to support [at] researchdata [dot] lu [dot] se (support[at]researchdata[dot]lu[dot]se)

Go to the contact form: Support – Research data management  (in Swedish)

Simplified registration of research documents

Some of the documents that research generates during the research process must be registered by law, others must be registered to facilitate management, the administration of justice and future research. 

Previously, researchers needed to get in touch with their local document controller or take a  course on registration in order to register their public records in the university-wide W3D3 registration system. Now, researchers do not need to do this. Instead, researchers can use the new online form, which opens directly in a browser and enables the fast and easy upload of what needs to be registered. 

There is a link to the form on the page “Registration of research documents”. Click on the link to the type of document you wish to register, fill in the requested information, enclose your document and click “send” – the process has then been completed.

The document controller or administrator at your department is then responsible for supplementing the case if necessary and subsequently closing it.

Below are some of the documents that can now be registered via the form: 

  • Applications for research
  • Permits for research
  • Ethical review
  • Confidentiality agreements for research
  • Data management plans
