However, data are a product of the science enterprise and are more and more understood as a valuable research output themselves
Importance and benefits of data management
The documentation of data analysis and transformation as well as the storing of data and research results are integral part of data management and could help you to prove your work. Without data management, not only a solid basis ensuring replicability for your research results may be missing, but your data can also be subject to data loss more easily. This may happen due to technical problems (hardware failure), due to software obsolescence, due to missing information (data cannot be understood in the future) or due to not storing data in an appropriate way (data will never be found again).
Activities which initiate overtime:
