The main objective of the current study is to offer the basic framework for the implementation of the Research Data Management (RDM) in the university libraries. This typical framework turns out to be a comprehensive guide for the libraries in universities with a target towards the establishment or augmentation of their research data management services to provide ample support for the requirements of their academic communities. It also endeavors to elucidate the crucial role of the libraries located in the University towards promoting of excellent practices of the RDM and highlights the significance of collaboration, training, infrastructure, and policy development in advancing excellence in the sphere of research excellence and integrity.
