Research data management (RDM) is a key data literacy skill that chemistry students must acquire. Concepts such as the FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) should be taught and applied in undergraduate studies already. Traditionally, research data from labs, theses, and internships were handwritten and stored in inaccessible formats such as PDFs, limiting reuse and machine learning applications. At RWTH Aachen University, a fifth-semester lab course introduces students to the electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) Chemotion, an open-source DFG-funded tool linked to the national NFDI4Chem initiative. Students plan, document, and evaluate experiments digitally, ensuring metadata and analysis are captured for long-term reuse. Chemotion's intuitive interface and repository enable sustainable data sharing. To reinforce RDM, students receive a seminar and access to online training videos with interactive Moodle elements. Herein we highlight the use of the DALIA platform as a discovery tool for the students.
翻译：研究数据管理是化学专业学生必须掌握的关键数据素养技能。FAIR数据原则（可发现、可访问、可互操作、可重用）等概念应在本科阶段就进行讲授和应用。传统上，实验室、学位论文和实习产生的研究数据多以手写形式记录，并以PDF等不可访问的格式存储，限制了数据的重用和机器学习应用。亚琛工业大学在第五学期的实验课程中向学生引入了电子实验记录本Chemotion——这是一款由德国科学基金会资助的开源工具，与国家NFDI4Chem计划相关联。学生通过数字化方式规划、记录和评估实验，确保元数据和分析结果被完整捕获以供长期重用。Chemotion直观的界面和存储库实现了可持续的数据共享。为强化研究数据管理能力，学生需参加专题研讨会，并通过集成Moodle交互元素的在线培训视频进行学习。本文重点介绍了DALIA平台作为学生数据发现工具的应用价值。
