Research Data Management
Maintaining good data management practices is critical for the success of research projects. The Portage Network is the main federal group in Canada tasked with supporting research data management for Canadian researchers and the shared stewardship of Canadian research data. They were launched by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries in 2015. For more support for research data management you can contact Portage directly, or speak to your local Compute Canada regional partner and they will get you connected. Below is a list of commonly helpful resources for research data management.
