Preferred term

data management  

Definition

  • Data management, as it relates to data created during the research process, comprises “what to manage” and “how to manage it.” It is not only data per se that need to be managed; accompanying information, such as documentation and other contextual and methodological information, also needs to be managed. Data management is important because it ensures safekeeping or future proofing of data during the research process. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods; Data Management]
