"Strategies for preserving and sharing data in biological sciences" - Poster SEB 2023

This is the poster presented at the "SEB Centenary Conference 2023" in Edinburgh, UK.

ABSTRACT:

Managing and sharing research data is not always a simple task. The diversity of data types in biology, the lack of standard practices in data management, data storage and preservation issues, and, perhaps most importantly, the lack of awareness on the matter, are some of the factors that prevent research outputs being made available routinely and in a reusable way. The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles were published as a general guidance to promote data reusability in research, but the practical implementation of FAIR principles in research groups is still falling behind. Here we will show how our Biological Research Data Management team assists experimental researchers with organizing datasets for publication by using different types of tools and web resources to maximize data reusability, while maintaining research productivity. We will showcase practical examples from data curation to data sharing, and how we promote awareness of FAIR and Open Science in biological sciences.
