Welcome to the Research Data Oxford website

IMPORTANT NOTICE - Research Data Oxford content is moving to the University’s new digital channels

From 14 April 2026, RDO content will be on the redeveloped main University website, as well as on the new Oxford-wide intranet, OxIntranet.

Research Data Oxford has always sought to provide both a general guide to the importance of research data management, and specific guidance for using tools and services in Oxford.

Content covering many aspects of research data management remains aimed at a wide audience, and thus will be public facing on the main University website.

The preservation of public facing content will allow us to develop more tailored internal content for specific research areas and services, which will be hosted on OxIntranet. As part of these changes, the information from the original Research Data Pathfinder has moved to OxIntranet, before being relaunched later this year.

ACTION: If you have any bookmarks, or links from local websites or training material directed to this site, please update them to point to the relevant pages on the main University website or OxIntranet.

This site will be archived on 22 May 2026.

Welcome to the Research Data Oxford website: the University of Oxford's central source of information and guidance relating to research data management.

This site is for Oxford researchers at all levels (including students doing research projects) who are dealing with research data, and for all those involved in supporting researchers.
