Research Outputs

What Research Outputs Are Being Produced?

Research outputs include a variety of materials and data generated during the research process. These may include:

  • Samples
    • Physical samples (e.g., biological, chemical, geological)
    • Digital samples (e.g., scanned images, 3D models)
  • Data
    • Raw data
    • Processed data
    • Metadata
  • Collections
    • Curated sets of samples or data
  • Software
    • Code, scripts, or applications developed for analysis
  • Materials
    • Lab protocols, reagents, or experimental setups
  • Models
    • Statistical, mathematical, or computational models
  • Documents/Posters/Pre-prints/Publications/Videos
    • Research papers, conference posters, pre-prints, and multimedia content

Number and Size of Research Outputs

  • Number of files, samples, collections, etc.
    • Estimated count of each type of output.
  • Size of each file, sample, etc.
    • File sizes (e.g., MB, GB, TB) for digital outputs.
    • Physical dimensions or quantities for physical samples.

Metadata Critical for Data Interpretation and Reuse

  • Sensor metadata
    • Information about instruments or sensors used to collect data.
  • Sampling effort metadata
    • Details about sampling methods, locations, and conditions.
