Description

The University is undertaking a project to improve the experience of academic staff and postgraduate research students when managing research data. A review of the research software landscape highlighted disparities in researchers' ability to access digital tools to coordinate experimental metadata and data with minimal friction. As part of this project, it has been identified that it would be beneficial to conduct soft market testing to ascertain the offerings around digital notebooks and associated sample inventories within the market, along with any key areas of development within recent years.
