myLaminin Perspectives

Research Data Management (RDM) platforms make FAIR principles and Open Science practical for modern research. By supporting the full data lifecycle—from collection to archiving—RDM platforms ensure data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. With persistent identifiers, metadata standards, real-time audit trails, and collaboration tools, platforms like myLaminin help researchers embed FAIR practices and accelerate reproducible, trustworthy science.

CoreTrustSeal certification sets the global baseline for trustworthy research data repositories. This article explains what CoreTrustSeal is, why institutions pursue it, and why researchers and funders should look for it. Learn how certification supports data integrity, long-term preservation, FAIR principles, regulatory compliance, and open science—and how platforms like myLaminin help organizations achieve CoreTrustSeal readiness efficiently.

To support FAIR and Open Science principles, research projects must capture metadata across three categories: descriptive (e.g., title, keywords), administrative (e.g., funding, ethics), and technical (e.g., file formats, tools). Structured metadata makes research discoverable, accessible, ethical, and reusable—extending its value. Tools like myLaminin streamline this through integrated metadata capture and research data management.

Does your research data management (RDM) platform easily support research data sovereignty, facilitate cross-jurisdictional collaboration, and regulatory compliance?

No matter what field you are working in, good data collection and management isn’t just nice to have, it's essential.
