Why is there a need for a research data policy?

This policy aims to ensure that research data generated in the conduct of research projects at NTU are managed in a systematic and comprehensive manner to ensure integrity, accountability, long term availability, appropriate sharing and compliance with requirements of funding agencies.

NTU recognizes that research data is an important part of all research and scholarly work carried out in the university, not only to support research findings and discovery but also in contributing to the advancement of science and scholarship through its availability for sharing.

Moreover the proper management of research data is necessary to ensure that the research integrity of research work carried out in NTU is beyond reproach. 

The policy applies to all NTU faculty, staff, researchers, students and any other persons, including consultants, visiting researchers, those involved in the design, conduct or reporting of research performed at or under the auspices of the University.
