Research data encompasses the collection, management, analysis, sharing, and preservation of data generated from research activities.

Types of Research data can include:

• Quantitative Data: Numerical data that can be measured and analyzed statistically (e.g., surveys, experiments).
• Qualitative Data: Non-numerical data that provides insights into underlying reasons and motivations (e.g., interviews, observations).
• Big Data: Large volumes of complex data generated by various sources, often requiring advanced analytical techniques.
• Open Data: Data that is publicly available for use and sharing, promoting transparency and innovation.

**The management, storage, and sharing of data generated by research activities are the responsibility of the Principal Investigators in charge of the related research project.
