myLaminin Perspectives

Publishing in peer-reviewed journals is more than tradition—it’s a strategic step in advancing careers, meeting funder mandates, and fueling scientific progress. In today’s data-driven world, platforms like myLaminin support researchers at every stage, from managing metadata and version control to ensuring compliance and transparency. With myLaminin, publishing becomes not only easier but also more impactful, aligning with modern research demands.

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is transforming healthcare by enabling real-time data collection from connected devices like heart monitors and inhalers. But to unlock its full potential, healthcare organizations need a secure and scalable Research Data Management (RDM) platform. myLaminin provides that foundation—ensuring data integrity, standardization, and compliance—empowering institutions to deliver smarter, faster, and safer care.

The DDI (Data Documentation Initiative) is a metadata standard designed to document the full research data lifecycle, improving discoverability, reuse, and reproducibility—especially in social sciences. Unlike DataCite, which focuses on citation and discoverability, DDI captures detailed context like methodology and data processing. Platforms like myLaminin support DDI integration, helping researchers enhance metadata quality without added complexity.

Robust Research Data Management (RDM) is the backbone of reliable digital twins, ensuring consistent, accurate, and scalable data inputs. Without it, even the best models can mislead. myLaminin, a blockchain-enabled RDM platform, empowers organizations to govern data across systems with integrity and flexibility. With features like immutable audit trails and customizable storage, myLaminin helps digital twin projects stay accurate, compliant, and future-ready.

Effective budgeting for data management is key to research compliance and sustainability. Under NIH’s Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy, institutions must plan early for costs like storage, curation, repository fees, and compliance. These must be detailed in grant budgets. Platforms like myLaminin help by enabling accurate cost forecasting, secure storage, and efficient data stewardship—supporting institutions in meeting funder expectations.
