This aspect of data management is concerned with how data and metadata are to be securely stored and backed up during the research process, e.g. while data is actively being collected, processes, and analysed.
For information on how and where to store or share data following publication or project completion see our page on Data Sharing & Long-term Preservation.
In UCC IT Services provide data storage facilities for the storage and back-up of active research data using Microsoft Cloud individual and shared platforms and on premises storage Research Box. ResearchBox is a UCC tool for active research data. It is similar to DropBox but your data is kept securely on UCC servers in UCC. The tool is built on an open source platform – NextCloud. All UCC research staff and postgraduate research students are eligible to request access to ResearchBox for research purposes. More about Research Box can be found on the dedicated SharePoint page. For more about MS365 product, OneDrive, Teams and SharePoint visit IT Services Storage Options SharePoint page.
