Max, expert in remote sensing & agricultural landscapes, asks:
Where can I find information on the basics of research data management (RDM)?
In our Knowledge Base, we have compiled a few useful links for you to read up on general (generic) RDM content.
Lena, expert in soil ecology, asks:
What types of data exist in agrosystem research?
In agrosystem research, there are many different types of data, such as soil data, sensor data, and phenotyping data. You can find a brief overview of relevant data types in our Knowledge Base.
Ayleen, expert in plant health & risk analysis, asks:
Where can I find a fitting repository?
Repositories (repos) are the key of RDM, serving as the place where well-described data can be permanently stored and later retrieved for reuse. Our knowledge base contains information on how and where to find a suitable repository.
Li, Expert in agricultural economics and ecosystem services, asks:
How do I publish code FAIR?
Nowadays, research results are largely generated by self-developed software or code-based scripts. This code should also be published in accordance with FAIR principles. You can find guidelines on what to consider in our Knowledge Base.
If you are looking for answers to these and many other questions about research data management in agrosystems research, you have come to the right place: The FAIRagro Knowledge Base is our central resource for questions, instructions, tools, and legal issues in research data management (RDM) for the agrosystems research community.
Whether you are a researcher, data officer, developer, or simply curious about making agricultural research data FAIR, feel free to take a look around! Are you just getting started with FAIR data or looking for specific technical support? Our knowledge base will guide you step by step.
The FAIRagro Helpdesk and its team of data stewards support you as part of the agrosystem research community with all questions relating to research data management. We are here for you in all phases of the data life cycle—from data search to the creation of a data management plan to data publication. If you cannot find answers to your questions here, would like to provide feedback or comments, or have other questions about RDM, please use our contact form.
Of course, our knowledge base is constantly being expanded, so feel free to check back often.
