| Where can I store or backup my raw data? | Currently, the University does not provide storage for raw datasets, but it is recommended that researchers store their data on the Google Drive provided by the University. Alternatively, you can use an external hard drive, but make sure that this is also backed up. Some academic departments provide their own data storage facilities. Contact your supervisor to confirm if your academic department has such a facility. |
