First Data Description in Research Data Australia now Live!

Blogs > eScholarship: research data, publishing, impact ...

We are pleased to announce that Research Data Australia has begun harvesting data collection records from UQ eSpace. Researchers can now describe their data collections in eSpace, and then the harvest makes the data description visible through Research Data Australia.


This allows researchers and research groups to describe their research data according to good practice, in order to aid the discovery, dissemination, and preservation of their research data. This goes some way to champion research datasets as being a first-class research output at UQ.

Special thanks to the Centre for Military and Veterans Health, who worked with us to describe this first data collection.
