Login to the UQRDM: https://rdm.uq.edu.au
HDR students must login with their student credentials to create a record eg. s1234567. Applies to PhD and MPhil candidates.
Complete the four main steps, including any mandatory fields as outlined below.
Linking your funding sources and any approved ethics to your project record supports best practice in research data management. You can create a UQRDM project record without linking to funding or ethics, and add these at a later time.
To link your project grants and funding information:
To link your project human ethics approval information:
To link your project animal ethics approval information:
As the person creating the project record you will automatically be added as the Record Owner.
Next, you must add a UQ staff member to the role of 'Lead Investigator'. For HDR students, you must add your UQ Principal Advisor. For all other researchers, you may nominate yourself as the Lead Investigator or another UQ staff member.
The Lead Investigator is responsible for approving the UQRDM project record before it is activated (except where the Record Owner and Lead are the same person).
To add your Lead Investigator begin typing the name in the field, or use the drop down arrow.
You can add other researchers to collaborate on your project. UQRDM allows you to share access to storage and services with your collaborators. Each collaborator added will receive an email with a link inviting them to join the project record, once it has been approved.
Collaborators can be:
Add other collaborators:
Choose up to 3 different storage allocation types that best suit the needs of your project. Up to three storage allocations can be added to a record when user access needs to be limited for sensitive data or when storage is required for high performance computing or securing identifiable human data.
Note: for "no access" permission, it means the person has no access to the storage. If a file or folder is "shared" with the person, the person can still access the shared file or folder via the RDM cloud.
You can add multiple storage allocations for one project record. For adding another storage allocation, repeat these steps. You can also add storage allocations with existing project records following the same steps.
From the 'Services' tab, you can add services including Digital Research Notebooks and Impact Tracker. Click on the service you want to add to your project record. All services can be added to a record at a later time.
When your Digital Research Notebook has been created, you will receive an email from LabArchives with a link to authenticate and access it. Follow the instructions in our guide.
Once storage is provisioned users who have been given access to that storage allocation will receive an email.
The record owner/UQ lead is emailed once storage has been provisioned with instructions on how to access the storage. Researchers from IMB, QBI, AIBN & CAI should refer to their institute specific instructions.
Any collaborators that have been added to the record will also receive an invitation to join the project, and they must login with their relevant credentials in order to get access to the shared storage.
