This is not finished yet. I can probably continue on this next week

[Jolien-S]

At least the following things need to be added or adjusted. Please use the VU page RDM tools as a reference.

• Include this video
• Tool selection guide: For data storage, refer to the Data Storage Finder instead of providing considerations here. I'm not sure about the rest of the Tool selection guide. I would like to discuss this with @peer35 and @Elisa-on-GitHub.
• Change the headings: instead of referring to phases, I would use the categories used on the current RDM tools page. Not all phases in this PR make sense (e.g. 'Storage & Backup Phase') and they are not in line with the terminology in our research life cycle. So let's use 'Data collection tools', 'Data analysis tools' etc.
• Add GitLab to 'Software & Code Repositories'
• Add categories 'Research Software' and 'Trainings and Knowledge Items'
• Add SURFdrive to 'Active Research Storage' and 'Sharing & Collaboration'
• Add Atlas.ti to 'Data analysis tools'
• Add SURFfilesender
• Add an image summarizing all tools NeRDS provides

Update 27-11-2025. I (Elisa) did quite a bit of tinkering with this page. I had a few considerations:

• I deleted all the selection considerations, because I thought it included some perverse prikkels
• I changed the headings from research phase to tool application categorisations. I did not follow @Jolien-S 's suggestion above, however, because I'm not entirely sure how e.g. the category 'Trainings and Knowledge Items' translates into a mention on a tools overview.
• The image summarising the RDM tools at VU exists, but I don't have a current version. I will need to ask someone else if he has it.
