Introduction

NUS has both rights and responsibilities towards data generated by research at the University, and NUS may be held accountable for the integrity of the data even after the researchers have left NUS.

We thus need to design and adopt a policy on the management of research data, to ensure that valuable data are not lost. Such a policy also provides a basis to answer allegations of research misconduct or questions about the results obtained. It also assists in the protection of intellectual property and assures auditors and industry that robust academic supervision is in place. Correct data handling can also allow limited access to others for certain datasets with appropriate safeguards and permissions.
