Bagman – A Tool that Supports Researchers Archiving Their Data

Abstract

Getting researchers to archive their data properly is hard. Many factors are at play. In this paper, we present Bagman, a software that aims at alleviating research data management significantly. Bagman is a web-based software that supports researchers to package their data, assign a minimal set of metadata for their description, define a licence for the data’s future distribution, and to submit the entire package in a safe manner to an archive of their choice.
