Often, a compromise is needed between both ends of this continuum. The specialized skills required to operate the necessary tools must be balanced with long-term data access and other aspects related to the FAIR principles (go-fair.org). The latter focuses on enhancing the ability of machines to find and use data automatically and supporting its reuse by individuals . Often, large-scale research projects have the resources to implement a database solution, including convenient user interfaces for data ingestion and manipulation. However, small-scale research projects that do not fit into already implemented database solutions also benefit from a structured data management and analysis approach.
