New Standards

From art to astronomy, from software heritage to field research – there's hardly a domain that doesn't involve the management of research data and the use of research software. However, conversations on these topics can be fairly abstract. 

The team at the University of Potsdam therefore has conducted interviews with thirteen international minds from various disciplines who are implementing best practices in research data and software management. The insights provide tangible examples of research data and software management strategies across various fields, serving as brilliant illustrations of promoting Open Science and envisioning the future of research.

The interviews have been published in a magazine-style coffee table book, giving insights into

• approaches and opinions
• career paths and collaborations
• personal takes on research data and software management

Additionally, the book features

• graphic representations of the data used in discussed projects
• links and additional info on projects, tools or other subjects that come up within the conversation
• a visual representation of all the stakeholders involved in research data management
• A timeline showcasing some of the most important milestones in research data management, including quotes by different people driving this change
• a glossary with short explanations of the most important concepts
• an introduction to the project NFDIxCS
