FSU values and takes seriously the importance of properly collecting, using, maintaining, retaining, sharing and citing in scholarly works the data involved in research activities. Following best practices in data management and security also can help researchers work efficiently and effectively in developing compelling and competitive funding proposals and gaining deserved recognition for their hard work.
