Research data is all data on which research results and conclusions are based. This may include raw experimental data, interview data, statistical analyses, data code or videos.
Research Data Management
The research data management process spans the entire life cycle of a research project. It includes collection, documentation, processing, storing, sharing and archiving.
Carbon based nano materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes were predicted a brilliant future when they were discovered. But quality problems curb the development of new products. The problem is that it is difficult to analyse the crystal structure and there are no established standard methods for classifying the materials.
