When working with research data, and in fact with any digital data, things inevitably go wrong. From a minor whoopsie to a major catastrophe, things happen … even to the most experienced of us. We are not ashamed of our mistakes, because we have grown from them. In fact, we carry them as badges of honour on our devices.

Here you fi nd a number of badges representing some common demerits in day-to-day research data management (RDM). If you think you have earned a badge, come and talk to us – we will not judge. We have been there, too.
