Research Data Management at UQ
UQRDM update
UQRDM is there to support you manage your research data more effectively. You will find new features to streamline your project records, including:
- Filter all your project records by Project Lead or Project Owner — to focus on just your key projects
- Delete incomplete project records — streamlines your dashboard by removing unnecessary records.
We’ve also updated our guidance to support HDRs, many of whom are attempting to upload HDR Progress Reports from home.
Help with research data management is also available by contacting: data@library.uq.edu.au.
