IRMA (Integrated Research Management Application) is the research management system used at Federation University to record and manage research data.
The recording, storage and management of research data at Federation University is guided by the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research. The Code advocates and describes best practice for both universities and researchers and includes guidance on how to manage research data and materials, publish and disseminate research findings, conduct effective peer review, and manage conflicts of interest.
