Research data management has received increased attention in the academic world in recent years. Across disciplines, researchers are being called upon to address the question of the whereabouts of their data and materials after the completion of a project or publication and, if necessary, to make them available for review or subsequent use. This poses particular challenges for the humanities, social sciences and cultural studies. The aim of this working area is therefore to develop and support an appropriate RDM at the Centre.
Data Archiving in GlobeData
With GlobeData, ReCentGlobe has its own repository for archiving research data. This new infrastructure allows data and materials collected in the centre's projects to be stored. At the same time, it is also open to researchers from all over the world and will systematically collect data on the Centre's key research areas in Global and Area Studies. In this way, ReCentGlobe not only takes into account the need to organise research data competently and close to the subject, but also to develop thematically relevant data collections across institutions.

Individual Access Control
Between the publication of research data and pure (closed) archiving for review purposes, GlobeData also offers graduated variants such as the targeted release of data for specific persons or temporary embargoes. The repository thus fulfils the special requirements of research data in the humanities and social sciences, particularly with regard to possible legal or ethical restrictions when making data available. Ultimately, each researcher decides who gets access to the data.
Data Curation
The workflows for data curation were developed in close collaboration with researchers from the centre's diverse research projects. These include, among others:
- Data quality,
- comprehensible documentation,
- standardised meta data,
- appropriate data formats,
- persistent identification (DOI),
- legal aspects such as terms of use, specific access regulations and licensing.
