 With the dedicated help of RSEs, research software can be enabled to be added to the organisational bibliography, facilitating internal reporting.
 At the same time, through collaboration with the library, the RSE group can address the first two letters of FAIR:\@ Findability and Accessibility.
 
-Topics of RSE and RDM do have noticeable similarities.
-While software often does require different solutions than data, collaboration between an RSE unit and an \textbf{RDM unit} will in practice be really close.
-The main reasons for that are that both provide services that are inherently research-oriented and that both deal with the digital side of research\todo{magi: isn't that due to the fact that research software produces (and to a lesser extend relevant here) consumes data}.
-Requests by researchers in that direction often touch both aspects, RSE and RDM\@.
-Thus, often a close collaboration between RSE and RDM groups helps everyone: both RSE and RDM groups by being able to offer a more comprehensive service than when working alone, as well as the researcher, who benefits from receiving this single coordinated service, instead of dealing with two independent entities.
+Topics of RSE and RDM have noticeable similarities.
+While software development does often require different solutions to data management, collaboration between an RSE unit and an \textbf{RDM unit} will be very close in practice.
+Both RSE and RDM units provide research-oriented services that are supporting digital research.
+They also need to collaborate directly because research software both consumes and produces research data.
+Requests for support on digital research therefore often touch both aspects, RSE and RDM\@.
+Thus, a close collaboration between RSE and RDM groups helps everyone: both RSE and RDM groups by being able to offer a more comprehensive service than when working alone, as well as the researcher, who benefits from receiving this single coordinated service, instead of dealing with two independent entities.
 The question whether RSE and RDM should be located in two separate groups or should be combined in one common group is intentionally left open, as the answer depends on local, pre-existing circumstances.
 
 Some research institutions might host a dedicated \textbf{HPC group}, maybe even independent of the computing centre.
