Element 6: Oversight of Data Management and Sharing

Background

Oversight of the daily work of data management and sharing is the responsibility of the institution that originates and/or analyses, manipulates, and processes the data. In most studies and organizations, the responsible party is the principal investigator. In certain institutions, the office of research or other organizational bodies may also assist in this process. Check your organization’s data management or compliance webpages to be sure. Zenodo assumes no responsibility for oversight of data management and sharing.
