About this guide
Research data management (RDM) encompasses the processes applied throughout the lifecycle of a research project to guide the collection, documentation, storage, sharing, and preservation of research data. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of research data management at the University of Waterloo, including Waterloo's Institutional Strategy & Implementation Plan, information on best practices, learning resources and templates, and recommended data repositories and tools.
The Library can help students, faculty, and researchers with consultations, training, and data deposit support. Please email the Library's Research Data Management (RDM) team with your questions or to book an appointment.
