Data Deposits refers to the place where researchers deposit their data into a recognized data repository, including all digital research data, metadata and code that directly support research conclusions in journal publications and pre-prints that arise
from agency-supported research. Researchers should consider the following points (Refer to Appendix B in Lambton College’s RDM Strategy for more questions to consider):
- What counts as relevant research data and which data should be preserved. This is often highly contextual and should be guided by disciplinary norms and grant recipients own judgement,
- Appropriate access to the data where ethical, cultural, legal, and commercial requirements allow, and in accordance with the FAIR principles and the standards of the discipline.
- Is there a domain-specific repository supported by your discipline. If so, this may be the best place to deposit your data.
- If no domain-specific repository exists, consider one of two-multi-disciplinary repository options.
At Lambton College the repository will be the Microsoft Teams server that is run through the IT department. This repository is secure, user specific and has the capacity to store all Research Data gathered as a department.
