Abstract:
The article proposes a systemic approach to research data management (RDM), emphasizing the need for an integrated vision of the components contributing to effective orga¬nization, management, and valorization of scientific data. The core elements of an RDM system are analyzed: the regulatory and institutional framework, digital infrastructure, support services, specialized human resources, and collaborative practices. The article highlights that the efficien¬cy of RDM depends not only on the existence of each component but especially on the functional interdependencies between them—connections that facilitate the flow of information, continuity of processes, and system adaptability. In conclusion, the article promotes a dynamic and collabo¬rative model that supports research quality, alignment with open science policies, and the long-term sustainability of data infrastructures.
