Many journals require the research data to be provided when publishing an article - do I still need to complete Research Data JCU for this data?

Yes. The three records in Research Data JCU (i.e. the RDMP, Data Record and Data Publication) are mandatory and provide JCU with the information required to effectively manage research (data and information) assets throughout their lifecycle. This information includes details about what the data is, where it is stored, how long it needs to be kept, any access conditions for the data and under what licence the data can be shared.

Journals often have other requirements which need to be adhered to such as the provision of supplementary data or conditions requiring data to be stored in specific repositories such as GenBank, PANGAEA etc.
