| **Knowledge clip: What is Research Data Management (RDM)?**<br>In this knowledge clip, we introduce the concept of Research Data Management (RDM). What is the goal of RDM? What do we mean by research data and what data management activities do we refer to? What are the benefits of RDM? | Ghent University Open Science (2020).

| **Knowledge clip: The research data lifecycle**<br>In this knowledge clip we talk about the data lifecycle, a key concept in RDM. We will have a look at the data management activities that can take place at different stages of the research process. | Ghent University Open Science (2020).

| **Knowledge clip: Data Management Plans (DMPs)**<br>In this knowledge clip we have a look at Data Management Plans. Why should you plan for data management and what is the typical content of a DMP? And when should you submit it? | Ghent University Open Science (2020). Knowledge clip: Data Management Plans (DMPs). Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uZxFu9SFi8 |https://osf.io/sn6cq|
| **Knowledge clip: FAIR data principles**<br>In this knowledge clip we have a look at FAIR data and what each of the FAIR principles mean (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). We also cover how (trusted) data repositories are a key infrastructure that enables FAIR data. | Ghent University Open Science (2020). Knowledge clip: FAIR data principles.

| **Knowledge clip: file formats**<br>In this knowledge clip we explore what file formats are and why are they important for Research Data Management. What do we need to take into account when we choose file formats? What is the difference between open and closed formats? What should we consider when we deal with format conversion and file compression? | Ghent University Open Science (2020). Knowledge clip: file formats.

| **Knowledge clip: Data Documentation**<br>In this video we talk about the importance of documentation to keep data understandable and reusable. What are the different types of documentation levels and what should be documented at each of these levels? | Ghent University Open Science (2020). Knowledge clip: Data Documentation. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ogbkx74Ym8 |https://osf.io/2gxed|
| **Knowledge clip: Metadata**<br>In this knowledge clip we talk about metadata. Why do we need it and what different types of metadata exist? And how is metadata created and where can be stored? We also have a look at metadata in data repositories and provide a brief explanation about metadata standards. | Ghent University Open Science (2020). Knowledge clip: Metadata.

| **Knowledge clip: Keeping research data organized**<br>Keeping files organized during your research is a key aspect of data management. In this knowledge clip we have a look at the different aspects of file organization (file naming, folder structure and version control), and provide tips and best practices. | Ghent University Open Science (2021). Knowledge clip: Keeping research data organized. Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YslfY4W-NAg |https://osf.io/74rhx|
| **Knowledge clip: Preserving data**<br>In this knowledge clip, we look at data preservation. Why is it important, how to decide what to keep and which steps are necessary to preserve data in the long term. | Ghent University Open Science (2021). Knowledge clip: Preserving data. Available at: https://youtu.be/UaiRAI-fwmw |https://osf.io/g9m5j|
| **Knowledge clip: Data repositories**<br>In this knowledge clip we talk about data repositories. Why do we need them, how do you find a suitable repository and how do you share and preserve data using a data repository? | Ghent University Open Science (2023). Knowledge clip: Data repositories.
