Research data in arts, humanities and social sciences

Research Data Management Toolkit
Research data management applies to all disciplines, including arts, humanities and social science. Particularly, in the past few years, digital humanities and social sciences have risen significantly.

Research Data Management Forum (Digital Curation Centre, UK)

Research data management in the Arts and Humanities
In recent times the principal focus for research data management protagonists has been upon scientific data, due perhaps to a combination of conspicuous Government or funder declarations with a bias towards the sciences and the very public consciousness of examples of 'big data', notably the output from CERN's Large Hadron Collider.

That is not to say that developments in the management of Arts and Humanities data have been absent, merely occluded. We aim to take some steps towards rectifying this situation with RDMF10, which will examine what it is about Arts and Humanities data that may require a different kind of handling to that given to other disciplines, how the needs for support, advocacy, training and infrastructure are being supplied and, consequently, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the current arrangements for data curation and sharing.
