Each of the objectives are explored in turn, stating how they were addressed. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 A university with limited resources can operate a RDM Service that pro-actively supports researchers wishing to manage research data by monitoring evolving support needs, identifying common trends and developing resources that will reduce the time investment needed. The institution-wide survey identified a need for guidance on developing data documentation and archiving research data following project completion. Analysis of ongoing support requests identifies a need for guidance on data management plans and complying with journal sharing requirements. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The paper provides a case study of a single institution. The results may not be generally applicable to universities that support other disciplines. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The case study may be helpful in helping other universities to establish an RDM Service using limited resources. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The paper outlines how the evolving data management needs of public health researchers can be identified and a strategy that can be adopted by an RDM Service to efficiently address these requirements.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/prog-01-2015-0011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,11]],"date-time":"2015-09-11T03:53:31Z","timestamp":1441943611000},"page":"424-439","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Building a research data management service for the London school of hygiene \n\t\t\t\t\t&\n\t\t\t\t tropical medicine"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Gareth","family":"Knight","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122023110571000_b1","unstructured":"Alexogiannopoulos, E.\n , \n McKenney, S.\n and \n Pickton, M.\n (2010), \n Research Data Management Project: A DAF Investigation of Research Data Management Practices at The University of Northampton\n , The University of Northampton, Northampton, available at: http:\/\/nectar.northampton.ac.uk\/2736\/ (accessed 31 March 2015)."},{"key":"key2020122023110571000_b2","unstructured":"Ayris, P.\n , \n Davies, R.\n , \n McLeod, R.\n , \n Miao, R.\n , \n Shenton, H.\n and \n Wheatley, P.\n (2008), \u201cThe LIFE2 final project report\u201d, available at: http:\/\/discovery.ucl.ac.uk\/11758\/ (accessed 30 January 2015)."},{"key":"key2020122023110571000_b4","unstructured":"Beagrie, N.\n , \n Lavoie, B.\n and \n Woollard, M.\n (2010), \u201cKeeping research data safe 2\u201d, available at: www.jisc.ac.uk\/media\/documents\/publications\/reports\/2010\/keepingresearchdatasafe2.pdf (accessed 30 January 2015)."},{"key":"key2020122023110571000_b3","unstructured":"Beard, L.\n (2014), \u201cResearch data management at the University of Manchester\u201d, (Powerpoint presentation).
