Harvard University in the USA shares experience with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences -LIPI) in a bid to develop system of scientific data management repository. An analyst of  the Harvard University, Philip Durbin to RRI World Service -VOI on the sidelines of National Seminar on ”Research Data Management to Increase Research Quality’ at LIPI’s Building in Jakarta on Wednesday (09/5) said that synergy for researchers is a must so that science can keep on growing.

“Surely,  it’s important to preserve research data all the time. The existing data today should be available for 20 years from now. We never want to lose the data; we do not want the date to be gone someday. So, it’s important to preserve the platform of the data,” Philip Durbin said.

Philip Durbin also explained that the storage of scientific research data must be supported with technology. So, the data can be easily accessed and reused. He added that the cooperation between Harvard University and LIPI will encourage new research development of scientific data management in the future. (VOI/AF/RHM)
