Research Data Management

Coscine (/ˈkəʊsaɪn/) stands for Collaborative Scientific Integration Environment and is a platform for your (research) data management (RDM). Coscine offers you:

  • Storage: Access to free storage (depending on organization/project affiliation).
  • Collaboration: Access for all project members
  • Metadata: Automatically linked to project data
  • Individuality: Metadata can be created as application profiles on a project-specific basis
  • Archiving: Archive project data in place for 10 years

Thus, Coscine provides solutions for sound RDM in terms of good scientific practice as required by the NRW Higher Education Act and research funders. As an integration platform, Coscine provides centralized access to your project-level data sources (e.g. research data repositories, linked files, archived data).
