class="intro">TUM strives for transparent data handling generated during the research process. This requires sustainable research data management. Following guidelines have been adopted by the university's board of management for this purpose.</p> <h2>TUM Guidelines for Handling Research Data</h2> <p>Handling research data professionally and transparently is essential for good scientific practice and smooth research operations. The goal of sustainable research data management is to document and safeguard research results while respecting disciplinary standards, and to make results available to the internal and external scientific community for further use, reproducibility, and commercial application. Methods for handling research data should be anchored in both research and teaching. In addition to the <a href="https://portal.mytum.de/archiv/kompendium_rechtsangelegenheiten/sonstiges/wiss_Fehlverh.pdf" target="_blank" class="external-link" title="Opens external link in new window" rel="noreferrer">Guidelines for Ensuring Good Scientific Practice and Dealing with Scientific Misconduct</a>, the <a href="https://portal.mytum.de/archiv/komp_hsl/Codes_of_Conduct/20170329_111315/1" target="_blank" class="external-link" title="Opens external link in new window" rel="noreferrer">TUM Research Code of Conduct</a>, the <a href="https://www.forte.tum.de/en/forte/patents-and-licenses/tum-ip-policy/" target="_blank" class="external-link" title="Opens external link in new window" rel="noreferrer">Patent Policy</a>, and the <a href="https://www.ub.tum.de/en/open-access-policy" target="_blank" class="external-link" title="Opens external link in new window" rel="noreferrer">Open Access Policy</a>, the following guidelines are binding for all scientists working at TUM (Resolution of the TUM Board of Management, November 13th 2018).</p> <p><strong>1. Research Data</strong><br>The term “research data” includes all data and materials generated in the course of research through measurements, experiments, surveys, simulations, etc. Depending on the nature of scientific inquiry and discipline, this data is generated, processed, archived and published in different ways, i.e. it is highly heterogeneous.</p> <p><strong>2. Research Data Management </strong><br>Research data management covers the entire life cycle of research data, from planning, through collection and processing, to their permanent archiving and possible publication. Research data are to be collected in accordance with the relevant disciplinary standards, specifying the tools and methods used in their production and processing, as well as the context in which they were generated, described with metadata and stored on a long-term basis and, where applicable, published. Metadata descriptions are to employ the established and standardized terminology of the respective discipline, taking into account interdisciplinary re-usability.</p> <p><strong>3. Data Management Plan </strong><br>The data management plan is an important part of research data management. It regulates the storage of and access to research data, specifies responsibilities for data management, serves as a means of documentation and, if necessary, as verification of the use of grant funds. It is to be amended in the course of the project to reflect the current status. Any costs incurred for data management must be taken into account when applying for funding. TUM requires a data management plan to be drawn up and attached to the draft application before the start of a research project.</p> <p><strong>4. Responsibility and Accountability </strong><br>Responsibility for the management of research data lies with the respective project head for the duration of the research project. Project heads are particularly obliged to ensure the long-term archiving of their research data. They pledge to adhere to good scientific practice, as well as to the relevant terms and conditions of funding and contractual agreements. This applies in particular to compliance with the relevant ethical, data protection and copyright provisions. Conflicting rights of third parties, such as from third-party funding contracts, must be observed.</p> <p><strong>5. Technical and Organizational Support </strong><br>TUM supports its scientists in all matters related to research data management for the duration of a research project and provides discipline-specific consulting, training and data management services through <a href="/en/researchdata/hub/" class="internal-link">TUM Research Data Hub</a> (Contact: <a href="#" data-mailto-token="wksvdy4bocokbmrnkdkJdew8no" data-mailto-vector="10" title="Opens window for sending email">researchdata(at)tum.de</a>) in cooperation with the IT Service Center (ITSZ), the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and the Office of Research Funding and Technology Transfer (TUM ForTe). In the future, the TUM Institute for Data Science, as a central scientific institution, will promote and support data-intensive research.</p> <p>Munich, November 13th 2018</p> <p>On behalf of the TUM Board of Management</p> <p>Dr. Hans Pongratz<br>Senior Vice President</p> <p>Further information: <a href="/en/researchdata/support-information/" class="internal-link">Support and Information</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="c-link-to-top js-link-to-top"> <a href="#topbar" title="go back to the top of the page"> To top </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="c-footer"> <div class="c-footer__legal"> <nav class="container" aria-label="legal links"> <ul class="list-inline"><li class="list-inline-item"><a href="/en/researchdata/datenschutz/">Privacy</a></li><li class="list-inline-item"><a href="/en/researchdata/impressum/">Imprint</a></li><li class="list-inline-item"><a href="/en/researchdata/erklaerung-barrierefreiheit/">Accessibility</a></li></ul> <img aria-hidden="true" src="https://tum.de/hsts/default" height="1" width="1" /> </nav> </div> </footer> <script type="module" src="/_frontend/sitetum/bundled/assets/main-Ccf65gYE.js?1732803088"></script> <script data-ignore="1" data-dp-cookiedesc="layout" nonce="XLhmYeSbSm906RP3KtngUZD09Tu8J4EFGEh-lhsAE3GQZS92R1464Q" type="text/plain"> This website uses cookies to accelerate usability. <a aria-label="learn more about cookies" class="cc-link" href="/en/researchdata/datenschutz/#AktiveKomponenten" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" > More information </a> </script> <script data-ignore="1" data-dp-cookieselect="layout" nonce="XLhmYeSbSm906RP3KtngUZD09Tu8J4EFGEh-lhsAE3GQZS92R1464Q" type="text/plain"> <div class="dp--cookie-check" xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/1999/html"> <label for="dp--cookie-required"> <input class="dp--check-box" id="dp--cookie-required" tabindex="-1" type="checkbox" name="" value="" checked disabled> necessary </label> <label for="dp--cookie-statistics"> <input class="dp--check-box" id="dp--cookie-statistics" tabindex="1" type="checkbox" name="" value=""> statistics </label> </div> </script> <script data-ignore="1" data-dp-cookierevoke="layout" nonce="XLhmYeSbSm906RP3KtngUZD09Tu8J4EFGEh-lhsAE3GQZS92R1464Q" type="text/plain"> <button type="button" aria-label="revoke cookie consent" class="dp--revoke {{classes}}" > <i class="dp--icon-fingerprint"></i> <span class="dp--hover">Cookie Policy</span> </button> </script> <script data-ignore="1" data-dp-cookieiframe="layout" nonce="XLhmYeSbSm906RP3KtngUZD09Tu8J4EFGEh-lhsAE3GQZS92R1464Q" type="text/plain"> <div class="dp--overlay-inner" data-nosnippet> <div class="dp--overlay-header">{{notice}}</div> <div class="dp--overlay-description">{{desc}}</div> <div class="dp--overlay-button"> <button class="db--overlay-submit" onclick="window.DPCookieConsent.forceAccept(this)" data-cookieconsent="{{type}}"> {{btn}} </button> </div> </div> </script> <script data-ignore="1" nonce="XLhmYeSbSm906RP3KtngUZD09Tu8J4EFGEh-lhsAE3GQZS92R1464Q" type="text/javascript"> window.cookieconsent_options = { overlay: { notice: true, box: { background: 'rgba(48,112,179,.75)', text: '#fff' }, btn: { background: '#b81839', text: '#fff' } }, content: { message:'This website uses cookies to accelerate usability.', dismiss:'allow cookies', allow:'save', deny: 'necessary <span></span>cookies', link:'More information', href:'/en/researchdata/datenschutz/', target:'_blank', 'allow-all': 'all cookies', config: 'customize', 'config-header': 'Customize Consent Preferences', cookie: 'Cookies', duration: 'Duration', vendor: 'Vendor', media: { notice: 'Cookie Notice', desc: 'Loading this resource will connect to external servers which use cookies and other tracking technologies to personalize and improve experience.
