The PHAIDRA systems are designed to accompany research workflow from different professional backgrounds. The so called data management plan, which is already required by many promoters and which specifies how the data is used, generated or handled, can be stored in PHAIDRA for long-term storage. Our entire work process with research data follows the FAIR Data Principles (q.v. Turning FAIR into Reality. Final Report. European Commission, 2018).

What is research data?

Research data refers to (digital) data which, depending on the unique scientific context, is the subject of a research process therefore generated during a research process or as its result (see Kindling and Schirmbacher: "The Digital Research World" as a subject of research.  Information: Science and Practice, 2013 .). Research data is generated using a variety of methods depending on a research question. By source research, experiments, measurements, descriptions, or surveys. This results in a disciplinary and project-specific understanding of research data with divergent requirements for processing and administration. Since research data is necessary to be able to verify the resulting research results, their receipt is a recognized part of good scientific practice (see website Research Data).

More options at the University of Vienna

At the University of Vienna, there are several services available: on one hand for the storage of data during your research process and on the other the long-term availability of the data after completing a research project.


Storing at the University of Vienna
