RESEARCH/PUBLICATION SUPPORT WEBINARS

In 2025, NMS Library is again organizing three research/publication support webinars under the motto: ‘From the research question to publication’.
RESEARCH DATA MANAGEMENT
Management and sharing of research data is one of the essential dimensions of Open Science. Data is becoming increasingly central to current research processes, so its management, enabling subsequent verification and reuse, is a critical element for the quality and reliability of science.
The main funding bodies around the world have been adopting policies and defining requirements and procedures for data management and sharing. These policies and mandates are based not only on the concern to reduce costs associated with data collection, avoiding duplication, but also on aspects related to the reproducibility of research.
NOVA Medical School Library is now starting to work on this dimension by joining the international LOVE DATA WEEK 2025 initiative.
