Open Science at the University of Tartu
We offer consultations about the management, archiving and publishing of research data.
Consultations
Our team will help you solve the problems related to data management and use. Some examples of the issues people have needed information about:
- data management plans
- persistent identifiers (DOI, Handle)
- metadata
- licences
- personal data as research data
Archiving of data and assigning of DOI
All University of Tartu members can add their data to our data repository DataDOI. If you have questions about using the repository, write to the repository manager Evelin Arust.
