Consulting Services

As a researcher or project leader, you are planning or conducting a study. Good and transparent study results require good data management and prior planning.

Since publications are in the focus of reuse, journals increasingly expect the publication of the entire dataset in addition to the actual publication.

We, the Data Stewards at the Data Competence Center, support you with the following:

Preparatory Phase

• Data management planning
• Data documentation
• Design of the data model
• Determination and annotation of relevant metadata for your dataset
• Selection and application of interoperable data structures and terminologies
• Selection of possible formats, storage, and archiving options for your study data
• Creation of electronic data collection forms during data collection in accordance with data protection regulations, especially for patient data

Ongoing Support

• Data processing to comply with discipline-specific standards regarding data quality
• Implementation of FAIR criteria for your study data
• Storage of your study data

Final Phase

• Archiving study data
• Selection and uploading of (meta) data to a data repository
• Data sharing: best practices in a data repository
