Many aspects of research data management are determined by subject-specific factors. This applies in particular to the way in which data are obtained, the object of study and the nature of the resulting data. Accordingly, the appropriate approaches and the tools that support them are also dependent on the respective discipline, as are suitable metadata standards or terminologies for describing and documenting the research data.
Recommendations for approaches and suitable tools and standards are being developed in Germany for many disciplines within the framework of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). An overview of the active NFDI consortia can be found here:
The NFDI consortia are a good point of contact for discipline-specific research data management issues. If required, we will be happy to identify a suitable contact for you.
If you want to make your research data citable and re-usable through publication, there are specialised subject repositories for many disciplines and data types that make the research data stored there searchable on the basis of subject-specific parameters and visible to a specialist audience. You can search for suitable repositories via re3data.org
