Research Data Management Services at ETH Zurich

Abstract

Research Data Management (RDM) is an integral part of scientific practice. The responsibility for RDM therefore lies with individual researchers, but service units of universities can support researchers’ efforts with appropriate service offers. From the point of view of the institution, this helps to streamline operations towards effective and efficient solutions. We outline here the RDM services provided to researchers at ETH Zurich by ETH Scientific IT Services and ETH Library. We comment on current experiences and open issues.
