1 We restrict ourselves to studying only researchers who create data on a small scale, since the large-scale data producers handle the RDM on their own. We here define small-scale – rather arbitrarily – to be up to 200 terabytes of data. This is a volume which few research projects exceed. As an example for comparison, there are over 200 petabytes of data stored at the CERN Data Centre (cf. e.g. Gaillard, 2017), so three orders of magnitude greater.

10 Cf. e.g. the talk by Thalinger (2017). This performance-optimisation can seem like a minor detail for most of us, but for Twitter it means significant savings in electricity and hence money. Hypothetical example given was that renting 10,000 cloud servers would result in saving 353,280 dollar/year.
