The research data management support of the University of Eastern Finland - UEF Data Support – provides services and training to assist UEF researchers in data management at various stages of the research project. We also provide DMP and DMPol commenting services at any point of your research (see further instructions, link will be added). The services are provided jointly by the Library, IT-services, Legal Affairs, Information Management Services, Data Protection and Information Security through a single service address.
If your question concerns, for example, planning of data management, judicial aspects of data management, storage space or sharing of research data, you can reach the right people by sending your question to [email protected].
UEF Data Support organizes data management training, courses and offers open materials, see the list below.
UEF Data Support does not provide support for research methods. Basic information on choosing research methods has been compiled on the library's webpage.
