ATSIDA supports researchers to manage, preserve and archive Indigenous research data throughout the research lifecycle.
We work with researchers, Indigenous Higher Education Research Units, research centres and community partners to support the culturally appropriate stewardship of Indigenous research data. Our services include guidance on data management planning, dataset documentation, archiving, preservation and access arrangements.
Whether you are planning a new project, managing an active dataset or preparing data for long-term preservation, ATSIDA can provide advice and support to help ensure Indigenous research data is managed responsibly and in accordance with cultural, ethical and legal requirements.
ATSIDA supports researchers at all stages of the research lifecycle, from project planning through to long-term preservation and access.
We provide guidance on managing Indigenous research data in ways that align with cultural protocols, ethical requirements and research best practice.
- Support can include:
- Data management planning
- Preparing data and documentation for archiving
- Identifying appropriate access conditions
- Considering Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) interests
- Long-term preservation and stewardship planning
By considering preservation and access requirements early in a project, researchers can support the future discoverability, accessibility and responsible management of Indigenous research data.
ATSIDA works with Indigenous Higher Education Research Units and Indigenous-led research centres to support the management, preservation and stewardship of Indigenous research data.
We can assist research units to:- Develop sustainable data management practices
- Plan for long-term preservation of research data
- Navigate governance, access and ethical considerations
- Implement culturally informed approaches to data stewardship
- Prepare datasets for archiving and future use
Our approach recognises the importance of Indigenous governance, community interests and cultural responsibilities in the management of Indigenous research data.
