There are many research data tools, techniques and learning resources available for effective research data management. Therefore it's necessary for critical study that the best tools, techniques and learning resources are available for the use of RDM in libraries. This paper presents the overview of the list of tools, techniques and learning resources available for better managing the research data. The article will be helpful for critically analysing the various tools and techniques which are available and that can be used for better research data management.
