N2 - This paper describes the approach taken by Western Sydney University in the assessment of a turnkey research data management platform. Key recommendations from the Active Research Data Management Element of the Research Data Management Framework developed by the Australian Research Data Commons were implemented. WSU-derived research data are currently stored across many different silos and there is consideration of management of data through research data management plans. However, the use of metadata is not consistent and often non-existent. WSU trialled the use of the Idea package provided by Cloud Services provider Intersect, which is based on Mediaflux, for the management of research data throughout the full data lifecycle from collection to archiving. The Active Research Data Management Element provided useful insights into the assessment of Idea in the areas of data management, use of metadata, automated data workflows, research data governance and the criteria for platform selection.
