Which catalog to choose?

The various catalogs determine which questions are displayed during the interview. You can start with a catalog that suits your specific requirements at the moment and change the catalog later at any time. Note, changing the catalog of your project will not delete any answers you have entered so far.

Catalog Purpose
UA Ruhr-Consultation Do you need advice on creating a data management plan or on your RDM in general? Fill out this catalog and contact us.
UA Ruhr-Application Funding agencies are demanding more and more information on the handling of research data. Use this catalog if you want to document your data management for a grant application.
UA Ruhr-Archiving Use this catalog if you plan to store the data in a central repository or archive. In addition to questions about data storage the catalog also contains some general project questions which are relevant, for example, to common meta data standards.
UA Ruhr-Training This catalog complements the Moodle course “Research Data Management”. It contains basic questions about organizing, documenting, archiving and publishing research data.
UA Ruhr This catalog contains all questions and covers all relevant aspects of research data management including some domain-specific questions and is therefore rather extensive. Use this catalog if you want to organize the data management of a collaborative project or facility.
