Scientific Data Services

The Scientific Data Services (SDS) unite data-related institutes, initiatives and projects of Bielefeld University under one roof, make data-related competencies and services visible and activate synergy potentials.

The SDS can be viewed from three different perspectives: the perspective of (1) data-related institutes, (2) data-related competencies and (3) data-related services.

The SDS are aimed at researchers from all disciplines. They use a broad concept of data that includes quantitative and qualitative data as well as new types of data such as social media data. SDS services include data-related services and tools.

    Collect Data

    The collection of research data is determined, among other things, by the research approach, collection method(s) and data types, but also by ethical considerations and legal framework conditions.

    Analyse Data

    The analysis of research data is determined, among other things, by the research approach (e.g. qualitative or quantitative), study design and the data types.

     

  • Presentation of data

    Display Data

    The presentation of research data plays a central role in both explorative data analysis and the presentation of research results. In addition to the visualisation of research data, other sensory modalities (the auditory or tactile modality) and also the multi-modal presentation of data are playing an increasingly important role.

  • Manage data

    Manage Data

    Already at the start of a research project, the various aspects of research data management should be considered or planned, such as (data documentation, data organisation and data archiving).
     

  • Publish data

    Publish Data

    Publishing research data increases its value for research. Bielefeld University encourages its researchers to publish research data in registered discipline-specific repositories. In addition, the university also provides its own institutional repository, PUB.

     

  • Archive data
