Mr Gareth Knight

Research Data Manager

United Kingdom

I lead on research data management support within the School. This includes training, advice and guidance, and data repository services.

I advise on the creation of Data Management Plans for funded, unfunded, and research degree projects. Staff and students are welcome to get in touch to discuss digital outputs that will be produced in their project (such as data, code, collection tools) and the practical steps that may be taken to produce, process, manage, and share them.

I am responsible for the LSHTM Data Compass platform, a digital repository that may be used to publish digital research outputs produced by LSHTM research, including qualitative/quantitative data, code, search strategies, and research instruments.

I am one of the leads on the LSHTM Open Research workstream, an initiative intended to enable, enhance, and embed open practices into the research culture at LSHTM.
