Definitely! 'Data' is a very broad term, and there is no research project without data. If you are working with small scale datasets (for example, one or more Excel sheets, textfiles or a couple of images), there are always ways to apply correct data stewardship. For example, make use of ontologies in your headings and publish your Excel files in a way that makes it possible for non-Excel users to process your data. You can for example do this by exporting your dataset to TSV or CSV. Also describe your data with metadata, so others might know how you've collected the data and how you did your processing. You can also link to protocols and other files that might be of interest when someone wants to reproduce or reuse your data.
