You can add descriptions of research data into TUNICRIS. High-quality metadata improves the findabilty and reusability of research data. In TUNICRIS you can also link research data metadata to other entities, for example publications and projects.
You can't add the research data itself to TUNICRIS. For more information about the university's research data services, see our research data management guide.
Research data refers to digital datasets, which are generated, processed and used in scientific research, and used as the basis for research findings. In addition to datasets, research data include information describing the context, contents and structure of the data (metadata), along with its lifetime management and processing. The research data produced at Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences are in principle shared and open.
At Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) research data refer to all the materials, methods and results produced and used in the TAMK research, development and innovation (RDI) projects.
Research data produced within Tampere higher education community should be:
Familiarise yourself with these FAIR-principles and take them as guideline of your research data management. Check also services produced by CSC - IT for science, and use them to improve the level of FAIRness of your research. Read the Declaration for Open Science and Research (Finland) 2020-2025
Tampere higher education community promotes responsible and open science, access to digital research data, scientific publications and research methods, and the use of open source codes, standards and interfaces in research. According to the higher education community's Open Science and Research policy:
Tampere higher education community promotes open science and research in data management but also in publishing activities. The goal is to increase visibility and availability of scientific research.
Research data should be "as open as possible, as closed as necessary", which is the guideline by the European Commission on Data Management. The Guidelines of FAIR Data Management in Horizon 2020 (pdf) was released in July 2016.
Research Data Services assist the staff and students of the Tampere higher education community in matters related to research data management. What we do:
