RDM Storage

UTS uses a Research Data Management Platform called Stash. It allows for the creation and storage of Research Data Management Plans (RDMPs), Archival Data Records and Data Publications. It can also link to workspaces that you use to collect, process, and store your data, which includes many of the platforms and tools provided by UTS eResearch.  

Data archiving and publishing

Archiving your data will ensure continued access for you and others should you choose to publish or share your data. You can place your data in managed archival storage by creating a Data Record in Stash. 

Publishing research data has emerged as a key part of the scholarly communication process because it promotes transparency, reproducibility, and the validation of research methods.
