Radboud Data Repository
[edit | edit source]Many funding bodies require data produced with their support to be stored over longer periods of time and make them accessible to other researchers. For this adherence to the FAIR principle of data management (findable, accessible, interoperable and readable) is often required. We propose to use the Radboud Data Repository (RDR) for storage of HFML-FELIX research data. RDR offers a well-structured way to store data, to give access to data either through Surfconext for Dutch academic institutions, or via ORCID. Collections published will have a digital object identifier (DOI) code, ensuring digital persistence. RDR further guarantees storage over long periods of time.
The Radboud Data Repository (RDR) knows three collection types.
1. A Data Acquisition Collection (DAC), aimed at storing raw data for a minimum of 10 years, including metadata (examples: a well-documented lab book scanned in as a PDF, or electronic labbooks, such as ELabFTW, OneNote or ....). This collection will be embargoed for the applicant's use for a fixed period, after which it will become publicly accessible. We propose a period of two years to enable the data's creator to publish the results.
2. A Research Documentation Collection (RDC), where all derivative data will be stored, such as OriginLab projects, Matlab scripts, figures, drafts of paper(s) etc. This collection will never be published, but can be useful for shared working on projects.
3. A Data Sharing Collection (DSC), for targeted sharing of raw data, such as data underlying Figures and Tables in peer-reviewed scientific journals, Ph.D. theses. DSC access can initially be limited to reviewers only, but after publication will be Open Access.
We propose that
- all data acquired via proposals granted by HFML-FELIX will be stored in separate DACs. DACs will be created upon awarding the proposals by local HFML-FELIX administrators (currently: JB, HE, and ...) and will be managed by the project's local contact, who will grant contributing or reading access to the project's collaborators.
- all data not subject to facility access proposals will be stored in separate DACs linked to the (junior) researcher involved, such as the PhD candidate, the Postdoctoral fellow. Such collection will be managed by the researcher's line manager (an HFML-FELIX scientific staff member) who will grant access.
- data underlying peer-reviewed scientific publications will be stored in DSCs, managed by the HFML-FELIX scientific staff member involved as PI.
- data underlying Ph. D. theses that are not already shared in a publication-linked DSC will be stored in a thesis-linked DSC.

Research Data Management Paragraph

Research data management
The research conducted during this PhD project and presented in this thesis had been conducted in accordance with the research data management policy of the Institute for Molecules and Materials of Radboud University available at https://www.ru.nl/rdm/vm/policy-documents/policy-imm/.
The data presented in this thesis is available from a Radboud Data Repository Data Sharing Collection and can freely be accessed at https://doi.org/10.34973/x530-cy72.
The raw measurement data underlying these, consisting of
- HDF5 container files with FTICR time transients per IR wavelength
- ASCII files of the laser power measurements
- PDF scans of written laboratory books
are deposited in Radboud Data Repository Data Acquisition Collections. These data, as well as the software with which the HDF5 files can be analyzed, will be made available upon reasonable request to the promotor, the co-promotor or the HFML-FELIX data steward.
Raw measurement data underlying the results presented in Chapter 5 is available from a separate Radboud Data Repository Data Sharing Collection at https://doi.org/10.34973/t53x-8g50.
