The HSD is committed to the principles of Good Scientific Practice (GSP)(currently only in german), which, among other things, define the responsible handling of research data as an essential component of scientific work.
Research data management (RDM) is more than just an organizational requirement; it is a central component of good scientific practice. By managing, documenting, and archiving their (research) data in a sustainable manner, researchers lay the foundation for reliable, verifiable, and sustainable research.
Why FDM is essential for good scientific practice:
- It protects against data loss and simplifies the long-term archiving and reuse of scientific findings.
- It helps fulfill the requirements of funding agencies and academic journals.
- It increases transparency and makes it possible to verify and replicate research results.
- It supports the responsible handling of data in accordance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

training sessions, and an infographic on Moodle:
In the infographic “FDM: Research Data and Good Scientific Practice,”(currently only in german) you can navigate through the research data lifecycle—from planning, through collection and analysis, to archiving and publication. The infographic provides:
- a compact overview of FDM aspects in all phases of the research process
- specific options for action and references to additional resources
- a guide for teachers, researchers, and advanced students
