Forschungsdatenmanagement in der Theologie
Research data come into play in theological studies in every discipline. Research data arise or are collected in many different ways, f.i. working with archives, digitalization of analogue documents, archaeology or by conducting empirical research. A plurality of methods and approaches may be used.
Examples:
Archives, digitalization and archaelogy make old material approachable and usable for research and public.
Empirical research is part of theological research ("Empirical Theology") since more than 20 years. F.i. the Arbeitskreis Empirische Religionsforschung unites researchers working in this field. A Summer School for young researchers is offered annualy.
More information and explanations esp. with regard to a DMP for a theological research project offered by the University of Lucerne may be found here: https://zenodo.org/record/4892472 (Stand 28.07.2022).
Thinking about questions of research data managament offers several advantages: it helps to structure the own research process and to develop a more elaborated perspective on the relevance of the research for the academic and the public community.
