Research Data Management is essential in your research process. The Library has implemented new services for our PolyU researchers.
After inputting your dataset’s basic metadata in the PolyU Research Data Repository, TurboCurator uses AI to suggest enhanced titles, descriptions, and keywords.
A comprehensive metadata makes your dataset more discoverable and FAIR—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
Learn more about TurboCurator in our Library Guide!
A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a comprehensive document that outlines how you will manage your research data throughout a project. It helps you stay organized and is often required by funding agencies.
Further strengthening the University’s open access policy, the Library now offers a DMP Service on the DMP Tool online platform, available to all PolyU staff and students.
