In the last two decades, due to the vast quantities of born-digital data produced in a wide variety of forms (texts, images, audio and video recordings, codes a.s.o.) and file formats and to the evolution of tools for dealing with, research data management (RDM) became one of the main topics of interest for scientists and information professionals, as a part of good research practice. The preservation, sharing and re-use of research data are requested not only by scholars, but also by governmental agencies, public and private funders, or publishers. The possibility to verify the research findings is complemented, under the extension of open access movement, by the facilitation of new research based on the output of the existing one. The universities and their libraries are among the institutional stakeholders that have begun to address these issues, becoming engaged in developing policies, services, and infrastructure for RDM.
