The purpose of data management is to ensure that research data is processed and stored safely both during and after the research. This requires careful planning and preparation.
The University of Lapland offers a research data management guide for students and supervisors. The guide provides basic information on data management and data management planning at the University of Lapland during undergraduate studies. More in depth information can be found in the research data management guide that is provided for researchers.
The supervisor is responsible for guiding the student in the collection and use of research data. Please note that the University of Lapland does not recommend that undergraduate students process personal data in theses, unless it has been decided together with the supervisor that it is necessary. The Data Protection Officer's advice is to avoid processing special categories of personal data in theses.
When necessary, the specialists in the Library, IT and legal services help you with research data management. You can find all the contact details in the research data management guide.
