RDMkit
The Research Data Management Kit (RDMkit) supports life scientists in managing their research data in accordance with the FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Structured along the data lifecycle, RDMkit provides practical guidance, domain-specific recommendations, and role-based advice for implementing effective research data management strategies. It also includes country-specific information and links to relevant infrastructures and resources.

- Domain-specific recommendations for life science disciplines
- Role-based advice (e.g. researchers, data stewards, infrastructure providers)
- Country-specific information and links to national resources
- Integration within the ELIXIR ecosystem
Applications
- Planning and implementation of research data management strategies
- Preparation of data management plans (DMPs)
- Selection of appropriate standards, repositories, and tools
- Improving data interoperability and reusability
- Training and guidance in FAIR data practices
Intended use
RDMkit is intended for life science researchers, data stewards, research infrastructure providers, and project coordinators who aim to improve their research data management practices and ensure FAIR-compliant data handling.
