How to Create a Data Record

The Research Data JCU platform includes extensive help text (click on the ? icon) and prompts for each metadata field.

If you require any assistance completing your Data Record, please contact researchdata@jcu.edu.au.

To create a Data Record:

• Log into Research Data JCU
• Use one of two methods to create a Data Record i.e.:
  • Directly from your RDMP
  • Click on ‘Plan’
  • Click on ‘Create a data record from this plan’
  • Using the Archive menu
  • Click on ‘Archive’
  • Click ‘Create Data Record’
  • At this stage, you’ll be prompted to link the Data Record to your RDMP if you have one.
• Ensure your RDMP is updated as metadata from the RDMP will auto-fill your Data Record.
• Click on each tab to complete and/or edit each metadata field.
• Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
• Remember to save regularly.
