The researcher
Dr Richard Goulden, a British Heart Foundation funded postdoc in the Department of Chemistry
Working with Chemical Biology and Analytical Chemistry research groups
Uses analytical chemistry methods to study biological molecules related to diseases
Involves using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study a family of enzymes called the 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) oxygenase

The dataset
Data collected using Bruker NMR instruments Raw data stored in the Bruker data format Analysed using Bruker TopSpin software or CCPNmr
Analysis software Analysed data stored in Excel spreadsheets (for
quantitative studies) and PowerPoint files (for qualitative studies)
Most analysed data also stored in printed format in lab books
Roughly 50 GB of data generated in the last year

Storage and back-up strategy
Raw data from the NMR instruments are stored on the instrument PC, which is backed up every couple of months to DVDs
Much raw data also transferred to desktop computers – usually stored on external hard drives
Analysed data (e.g. Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint files) are stored in a shared folder on a departmental server which is backed up daily
Lab books are stored inside the laboratory in locked cupboards

File naming strategies
In retrospect I am not very happy with the method I used for naming files. The biggest problem was with the newspaper articles I downloaded… I named the files only based on the topic of the article, without mentioning the name of the periodical and the year of publication, which would have been very useful later, when I began writing the thesis.

Metadata – data about data
A formal, structured description of a dataset
Used by archives to create catalogue records

Data preservation and sharing plan
Analysed data available to everyone in research group via shared folder
Data relating to journal papers included as supplemental information (e.g. in table format)
Researcher is also an active Wikipedia contributor, and updates relevant articles once findings are published
Data will be ultimately be deposited in the BMRB (Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank)
